Uniting the Latin and Greek Churches

"Uniting the Latin (Roman Catholic) and Greek (Eastern Orthodox) Churches refers to efforts to restore full communion and shared faith between these two major branches of Christianity. Historically separated since the Great Schism of 1054, they differ in practices, theology, and authority, especially regarding the papacy. Unity aims to overcome divisions, recognizing common beliefs in Jesus Christ and Scripture, while respecting cultural and liturgical differences. The goal is to foster mutual understanding, reconciliation, and, ultimately, full communion, emphasizing shared Christian identity while honoring their unique expressions of faith."
