In his recent visit to Bartholomew I (28-30 November 2014), Pope Francis emphasised the ecumenism of the blood, which can overcome theologians' difficulties. On that occasion, he also expressed closeness to Kirill, the patriarch of Moscow, and proposed ways for unity transcending Uniatism. For the Russian Patriarchate, it is time to take a step to break the deadlock.
