Three months passed after the historic meeting of leaders of the two largest Christian Churches – Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox. In this context, А.А. Krasikov focused his attention on the question: what has changed since then and what awaits us tomorrow? He confirmed that the joint call of the Pope and the Patriarch to all the states involved in the dramatic conflicts in the Middle East to stop the ISIS aggression (terrorist organization – prohibited in Russia) led to a certain success in the region. The speaker expressed his belief that Catholics will continue to follow the decisions of the Second Vatican Council, according to which «the origin, the subject and the goal of all social establishments is and must be the human person».
