Ecumenism in the documents of John Paul II.

Za vrijeme pontifikata pape Ivana Pavla II., u odnosu na ekumenske odnose s Pravoslavnim Crkvama, Katolička Crkva razvila je i imala daleko najbolje odnose s Carigradskom patrijaršijom. Osim susreta s poglavarima Pravoslavnih crkava papa Ivan Pavao II. za vrijeme svoga pontifikata susretao se i s poglavarima Istočnih pravoslavnih crkava. Usvojim ekumenskim nastojanjima nije zaboravio ni Crkve i crkvene zajednice proizišle iz reformacije i u različitim prigodama susretao se bilo s pojedinim crkvenim predstavnicima i velikodostojnicima, bilo s izaslanstvima različitih crkvenih i ekumenskih delegacija koje su dolazile u Rim. Također i na svojim apostolskim putovanjima koristio je prigodu da se susretne i s predstavnicima zapadnih kršćanskih Crkava i crkvenih zajednica. Kao dio svojih napora da promiče veće razumijevanje među narodima i među religijama, velik naglasak u svom pontifikatu Ivan Pavao II. je stavljao na ekumenizam.During the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, along with ecumenical relations with the Orthodox Churches, the Catholic Church developed and had by far the best relations with the Patriarch of Constantinople. In addition to the meeting with the heads of the Orthodox Churches, Pope John Paul II. during his pontificate also met with the heads of the Eastern Orthodox Churches. In his ecumenical endeavors, he did not forget the Churches and ecclesial communities that emerged from the Reformation, and on various occasions, he met either with individual church representatives and dignitaries or had audiences with delegations of various ecclesiastical and ecumenical delegations in Rome. During his apostolic travels, he met with various representatives of the Western Christian Churches and ecclesial communities. As a part of his efforts to promote greater understanding among nations and religions, throughout his pontificate, John Paul II. put a great emphasis on ecumenism
