Pope Reaches Out to Orthodox Church

The Pope said Sunday he is willing to "make it a fundamental commitment to work, with all my energy, toward reconstituting the full and visible unity of Christ's followers." This was during a Mass in Bari, Italy ending a national religious conference. After 1000 years of separation, such a goal is a lofty one. But can you imagine the mutual joy at such a reconciliation?
