The head of the Department for External Church Relations, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, reminds worshipers that the Russian Orthodox Church accepts mixed marriages between Christians of different confessions.
"Basic Social Conception allows mixed marriages, but not all priests follow this recommendation," Metropolitan Hilarion said on February 4, 2010 in the Moscow session of the Christian International Consultative Committee of the Baltic countries, according to the Interfax-Religion website.
He said he often had to deal with complaints from believers, as priests refused them in marriages with representatives of other confessions.
Head of the Catholic Archdiocese of the Holy Virgin in Moscow, Archbishop Paolo Pezzi, urged the participants "to mutual search of ways to overcome spiritual crisis."
