A RC theologian on RC-Orthodox discussions:

"New people mean new initiatives. There’s clearly been some serious rethinking, and a new sensitivity on issues which have never been settled,” said Professor Waclaw Hryniewicz, director of the Ecumenical Institute at Poland’s Catholic University of Lublin. “But there can be no advance in dialogue without a theological and ecclesiological solution to the problem of primacy. If the Orthodox agree to discuss this before tackling other divisive questions, this would be a significant new approach.” The Catholic priest was speaking amid preparations for reconvening the International Commission for Catholic-Orthodox Theological Dialogue, which has been stalled since it last met in July 2000, after repeated postponements, in Baltimore
