The Religious Information Service of Ukraine website, in an exclusive report, states that at a press conference in Lviv, Ukraine today (June 24, 2011), Patriarch Sviatoslav -- the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) -- said his church is ready to become a member of the Orthodox-Catholic dialogue and to organize a meeting between Pope Benedict XVI and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.
Patriarch Sviatoslav also talked about the mission of the UGCC, which he sees for today as becoming a full-fledged partner in the dialogue between the Orthodox and Catholics.
"We are a national church, and so we are ready to be not only a bridge of understanding between the Catholic and Orthodox churches and to organize a meeting between the pope and Patriarch Kirill, but also to become a full-fledged member of the dialogue," the head of the UGCC said.
