Unitas: “Come, Rebuild My Church”

Dear Friend, Greetings!

In 1986, I found myself in Rome working on my doctoral dissertation at the center of the Catholic Church I loved. Pope John Paul II was in his 8th year as Pope, and new winds were blowing through the Church and the world.

I saw the winds of change bringing renewal, yes, but also division, confusion – even the very beginnings of schism. Our precious unity was in clear danger.

And not only was our Catholic unity threatened: the 1,000-year fracture between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches was crippling Christianity, as each of our Churches struggled, alone, to confront unprecedented secularization, moral chaos, and even persecution.

It was then that I visited Assisi, not far from Rome, and heard echoing in my ears the words spoken by Christ to the beloved saint, Francis of Assisi in 1205 A.D.: “Francis, come, rebuild my Church, which, as you can see, is falling into ruin.”

At that point, everyday Catholics in the West, especially the U.S., felt their ties to the Vatican and the Pope slipping away.

“We are American Catholics, not Roman Catholics,” some said.

There was truly a darkness descending, yet somehow I felt I could contribute to lighting the way – to healing the division and confusion in the Catholic Church, to reaching out to our Orthodox brothers and sisters in faith.

John Paul II’s words, “The Church must breathe with both her lungs!” convinced me that the struggle to rebuild the Church could not really be successful without our final reunification with the Orthodox.

Since 1993, Urbi et Orbi Communications, publisher of Inside the Vatican magazine, has taken up the torch for unity – both within the Catholic Church, and with our Orthodox brothers and sisters. Our work to unite and rebuild has grown beyond our magazine; through our numerous projects we’ve built a structure of friendships among Catholics and Orthodox alike, brick by brick, around the world.

Urbi et Orbi Communications, too, seeks to answer the plea of Christ, “Rebuild my Church,” so that we “all may be one.” We see the darkness of secularism closing in around us – and we must respond, together in spiritual and tangible ways. The answer, I believe, is to hold high, like a torch, the profound beauty and truth of our faith: it is the source of our unity, and our strength.

It is my sincere hope that every one of you will step forward, be a torchbearer with us, and help light the way of Truth in the gathering darkness – in unity with God, within the Catholic Church, and with our Orthodox brothers and sisters.

— Robert B. Moynihan, Ph.D.

St. Francis, at first, picked up stones to rebuild one ruined chapel, but he soon realized his task was a much broader one: to rebuild the whole Church. He began the order of Friars Minor, and together they brought the one light of Christ close to the people of their time, and lit up the darkness of the age in a way we have not forgotten.

In unity, as Christ taught us, is our strength, for “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”

(Mark 3:25)

Mary is not only the mother of Jesus, but of the entire Church – all those who believe in her Son. Mary (pictured here in a hodegetria icon, in which Mary points to Jesus as the Savior of mankind) leads all souls toward her Son, “the Light of the World.” Turning toward the One Light, the world can find everything it seeks.

Why Unitas Now? Be the hands that help “Rebuild My Church”

Your Hands

TO R ES TO R E S T R E N GT H You know the weakness of the divided body of Christians, especially in confronting an increasingly “post-Christian” western culture. In 1054, the Great Schism tore the Body of Christ in two, separating Western from Eastern Christians, Roman Catholics from Orthodox.

Our sad division has weakened us; we are indeed “a house divided.”

You have seen the intense pressures on millions of Christians in the Middle East. In recent years, a quarter of Lebanon’s Christians have fled the country. Thousands more are planning to leave.

Yet, Lebanese Maronite-rite Catholics and Orthodox still live side by side.

Support our Friends of Lebanon project. Become the catalyst to preserve the Christian presence in the land where Christ Himself walked and performed miracles.

By supporting our Unitas Campaign, you become the hands that build unity within the Catholic Church; you become the hands that reach out to our Orthodox brothers and sisters as we confront together this common danger, the extinguishing of our one Faith.

Together we will work toward our eventual reunification as one Body of Christ. In doing so, each of us will be fostering a deeper unity between our own souls and God.

TO E N D C O R R U P T I O N

TO B R I N G U N I T Y

The corruption within the Church, both moral and financial, has destroyed her moral credibility. And abuse by Church leaders has a second effect: it often wounds the souls of the people abused. The “culture of cover-up” must end. At the same time, Catholics need to see the tremendous good done by many unsung priests and bishops.

Because you care about our Catholic Church, you realize the extent to which an increasingly secularized culture is causing fractures within the Church, dividing us into “progressives” and “traditionalists,” confusing and disheartening ordinary Catholics. You see it with your own eyes: our beliefs and traditions are being strategically dismantled in the wider culture. Your children and grandchildren are being pulled away from the Faith. And global changes in the wake of Covid are threatening to divide us even more. There is unease and division in the very depths of many souls, even, at times, our own.

Support our Shine the Light project, and join with Catholics who are poised to confront and expose Church corruption, while building her up rather than tearing her down. Together, we will rebuild His Church and restore her unity.

Become an essential partner in our work to shine the light of Christ’s truth into all this disunity and confusion, to get authentic Catholic teaching and spiritual nourishment into the hands – and hearts – of all Catholics.

“My long and winding road back to the Catholic Church was lit by Inside the Vatican magazine. I was not looking to come back to the Church, so I am not sure why I picked up this magazine, yet I did. I then subscribed and read each issue. As I did, I desired to re-enter the Church. I will forever be grateful. I continue to read each issue from cover to cover. Thank you!”

“Thank you for sharing your wise and sometimes poignant insights into the personalities and events – and problems – in our Church. Through them we are granted a glimpse at the rich treasure of experiences and friendships Inside the Vatican has gained throughout a long journalistic quest to build up our beloved Church. We commend you for the trust you have established within the Church hierarchy, as well as with your readers. Tom and I cherish your friendship. May God continue to bless you as only He can.”

“The breathtaking sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the many holy places we visited only touch the surface of how our pilgrimage with you deeply affected us. The spiritual uncovering – “archeology,” if you will… of the Catholic Church, with its wonders, and its flaws, has drawn us further into the Body of Christ. The places we visited, the wonderful people we met, and the conversations that took place, all served to remove the sediment and stones that were covering our souls and thus left us vulnerable to our Lord.

Inside the Vatican has wonderful people devoted to our faith, and it radiates from each of you.”

U N I T Y O F E AC H S O U L W I T H G O D : Koinonia, a Greek word meaning “joint participation,” and Sorbornost, a Russian word meaning “unity” or “symphony,” best define the spirit of the Unitas Centers, which are committed to being a catalyst for Church unity. We strive to obtain a sense of communion and “freedom within unity,” in the spirit of the early Church Fathers.

Souls’ union with God through our Unitas Centers: Over the past three decades, we have maintained a presence in both the Washington, D.C. area and Rome, Italy. We also have developed close relationships with the bishop in Assisi, Italy, and Hungarian Cardinal Peter Erdo in Budapest, as well as a long-standing collaboration in Moscow with the Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church and with the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul. These relationships offer us unique access to these important focal points of faith. We will create spaces and opportunities for collaboration in all six of these locations, including unity-building conferences, round-table discussions, cultural events like concerts, and – of course – spiritual pilgrimages and retreats.

U N I T Y W I T H I N T H E CAT H O L I C C H U R C H : We will expand the content and the reach of our Digital and Print Publications, including our important and timely books and our flagship magazine, Inside the Vatican, featuring independent Catholic news, reflection and analysis aimed at preserving our Catholic tradition and expressing it in terms of today, and tomorrow.

Our Shine the Light Project was created to help Church leaders rid the Church of abuse and financial corruption.

Through this vital project, we will publish “white papers” and support objective reporting on abuse and corruption to help Bishops’ Conferences around the world, and the Vatican itself, confront this plague head-on. At the same time, we will highlight the tremendous good done by our many unsung priests and bishops.

Symposia and Virtual Events Through our Symposia and Virtual Events, we will bring our growing audiences expanded content, like our online Writer’s Chat interviews and our Virtual Pilgrimages, as well as in-depth panel discussions on topics vital to the universal Church.

U N I T Y B E T W E E N T H E CAT H O L I C A N D O R T H O D OX C H U R C H ES : Urbi et Orbi has “built bridges” for many years between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches through common projects, working with the hierarchies of both churches in Rome, Istanbul, Kiev, Moscow and other centers of Orthodoxy. And our close contact with the Eastern Catholic churches allows us to draw upon their wealth of wisdom and experience.

Our Friends of Lebanon project enables Lebanese, young and old, both Orthodox and Catholics, who are fleeing their homeland en masse, to stay and thrive in this land where Christ Himself once walked, taught and performed miracles.

Our Women’s Council of the Heart is an international group of Catholic and Orthodox women working together on charitable projects, in support of their bishops, to answer the call from both Catholic and Orthodox churches for lay action worldwide.

We will expand upon the work of the Urbi et Orbi Foundation by increasing the Scholarships and Exchange Programs for seminarians studying at Catholic and Orthodox universities as well as supporting pilgrimages and other joint projects.

Urbi launched the 3rd digital version of Inside the Vatican magazine, the UrbietOrbiCommunications.com website, the Friends of Lebanon project and virtual pilgrimages with the Bishop of Assisi, Italy.

Urbi began the Vatican-Moscow Patriarchate clergy exchange program. Sponsored and attended – as the only laity present – the 2017 Orthodox-Catholic Bishops’ Forum in Paris.

2016-2017

“I am the Light of the World” Unity of Each Soul with God A “ CAT H E D R A L” O F L I V I N G S TO N ES If we wish to rebuild the Church, we must begin by asking: What is the material of the Church? And the answer is clear: the Church is made of the living souls of its members, living stones.

profound shadows — family life is in disarray, drug use has skyrocketed, young people are troubled and confused and the old verities of religion and faith seem to have been cast to one side.

Our society produces astonishing marvels — the internet, global travel, medical breakthroughs — yet labors under

In this age when the concept of the Holy

But what if those living souls have become sick, cracked, broken; what if they are not ready to be set in place in the larger structure?

This is our present age, and we are called to help heal souls, to be the hands that nourish and strengthen them – and each other. And then, one by one, they – we – can be set into place in the overarching edifice of the Church.

has been banished, the journey towards rebuilding begins with rediscovering the existence of another realm -- the realm of the spirit, the realm of the soul, the realm of the Divine, the realm of the Holy.

It is a continual struggle to preserve and nurture the sometimes tiny flame of love for God – and the desire for union with Him – that burns within each heart.

Sometimes it is just a spark, and needs to be fanned into a flame. Sometimes the flame has died out and a lonely and confused soul wants only to reignite it.

U N I TA S C E N T E R S : FO CA L P O I N T S O F FA I T H Pope Emeritus Benedict wrote in 2019 of the catechumenate which was created in the early Church, a community of believers who lived in a “habitat against an increasingly demoralized culture, in which the distinctive and fresh aspects of the Christian way of life were practiced and at the same time protected from the common way of life.”

He proposes that it is time to emulate in some way such communities: “I think that even today something like catechumenal communities are necessary so that Christian life can assert itself in its own way.”

We agree with Pope Emeritus Benedict. Urbi et Orbi is uniquely positioned to carry out his prescription – not in the sense of living communally, but in the sense of praying, and learning,

and seeking God together – for the renewal of the faith among ordinary men and women all over the world.

Our Unitas Centers will not be buildings of brick and mortar, but rather, like small “catechetical communities” where we will encounter the living stones of our faith from both the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.

So we will be able to draw on the traditions of both West and East – parallel and mutually enriching traditions of prayer, liturgy and scholarship within a common faith and a common system of sacraments: two branches of the same stem.

At our Unitas Centers, we will invite people to bring their own candles that are dimming, and perhaps dark, and to come and light their candles from the living flame of truth in Christ.

Unitas Centers “Light from the East” will be incorporated into our reflection and devotion: Spiritual insights of Eastern Christianity, which suffered so much under Communism but whose faith and Church was also preserved, to a great extent, from the ravages of modernism; the wisdom of the desert fathers and a monastic life that the East has preserved for a millennium.

W H AT W I L L U N I TA S C E N T E R S O FFE R? • Conferences with Catholic and Orthodox monks who discuss the concept of unity with God – theosis – and what it means for our everyday lives • Adoration of the Blessed Eucharist, the “source and summit of the Christian life,” according to Vatican Council II’s Lumen Gentium

“I am the Light of the World” Unity within the Catholic Church A N E N D TO D I V I S I O N

W E A R E C O M M I T T E D TO T H E T R U T H

One of the most insidious enemies of Catholic unity is our division into ideological camps. The ideologies are present in some form almost everywhere. And yet, Christ’s fervent prayer was that we all may be “one.” How is this to be accomplished?

We are convinced that what John Paul II called “the splendor of the truth” must be proclaimed in these times to the young and to the uncatechized; re-presented to “cradle Catholics” and to converts; explained to the inquiring and to the doubting, in every form and at every opportunity.

Urbi et Orbi Communications was founded to answer this very question.

Besides being children of God, the deepest and most profound source of our unity is found in our Faith – a faith that has sustained God’s people through 2,000 years of turmoil and peace, confusion and clarity, piety and impiety.

And our faith is Christ, the One Light.

Christ eclipses every theory, every ideology, every personality.

He has given us, moreover, not only a faith, but a Church which preserves and protects the truths of that faith. He said, “The Truth shall set you free,” and we believe Him.

And this Truth is what will unite us.

That is why we started Inside the Vatican magazine 30 years ago, and why we continue to labor to put it out, issue after issue.

We report on Church affairs through the lens of the Universal Church, not the “American Church” – or any other particular vantage point, be it geographical, ideological, or otherwise.

And we provide a catalyst for discussion between differing, faithful points of view.

Our Unity is found in our Faith – and our Faith is Christ, the One Light.

“I often call to mind one reader in particular: a woman who, confused and despondent, was planning to take her own life. Then she came across a copy of Inside the Vatican. ‘I do not know why,’ she wrote to us later, ‘but I picked up the magazine and began reading. I realized that life was worth living and that faith, not suicide, was the answer.” – Robert Moynihan, Editor

SHINE THE LIGHT PR O J EC T

SY M P O S I A A N D V I R T UA L EVENTS

We launched Inside the Vatican magazine in April, 1993 with $4,720 in initial capital. Spearheaded by our editor Robert Moynihan, Ph.D., we launched a completely independent magazine not controlled by any interest group, inside or outside the Church. And we went to the “heart” of the Church, the Vatican itself, in order to spread from there the “Good News” of Jesus Christ to the world, and particularly among Catholics.

Our Shine the Light project was created to help bishops’ conferences, and the Vatican itself, confront abuse and financial corruption in the Church. We will support objective research and reporting on these and other issues, and publish “white papers” upon which symposia we sponsor will be based. Because of our unique position, information comes across our desks that can allow us to pursue topics of vital interest to the Church – even when others cannot.

Urbi et Orbi Communications is bringing the work of Unitas to the world through our virtual events:

Now, after almost 30 years of publishing, our focus has become twofold: to expand the depth of our content, and to expand the reach of that content. We are carrying the message of the Faith, “ever ancient and ever new,” into digital and print that reach wider audiences than ever before.

And these platforms allow us a “deeper dive” into the issues affecting Catholics, so that we can research, write about and discuss topics in many online formats that can take us beyond the parameters of our print magazine.

Our commitment to expanding the reach of our efforts means that, given the current environment, we must also equip ourselves to operate as independently of the existing large digital platforms as possible, developing our own platforms and our own infrastructure.

Financial malfeasance can, unfortunately, be a common feature of bureaucracy in the Church – yet it need not remain so.

With diligent research – and courage – “shining a light” on Church corruption can be done.

The blight of clergy abuse has been attacked from both within and without the Church, but circumstances that bred the abuse can be rooted out.

By the same token, we must “shine the light” on heroic examples of holiness, charity, and joy in the Church, and focus on topics like liturgy, family life and mysticism that unite us in our love for God and each other.

Urbi et Orbi Communications is expanding the content in the pages of Inside the Vatican magazine to readers in a new, interactive way with our Writer’s Chat. We interview featured writers online, and invite readers to join in live as we “continue the conversation,” delving deeper into sometimes unexpected topics.

Urbi et Orbi Communications Symposia will reach out to the universal Church – academia, clergy and laity alike – to host in-depth panel discussions on topics that form the substance of our research and reporting, surveys and “white papers,” and ITV magazine’s famous “Dossier” features – and to present the results to the laity, the bishops’ conferences and the Vatican.

Among our current virtual events are our popular Virtual Pilgrimages, first begun during the Covid pandemic. In them, we feature inspiring spiritual reflections coupled with fascinating virtual tours, uniting our worldwide virtual pilgrims, the “living stones” of the Church.

Like Inside the Vatican magazine, our digital publications, Shine the Light project, and virtual events will strive to establish the true sensus fidelium, the “sense of the faithful” which expresses the authentic belief of the Church, and to be a vehicle through which this sensus fidelium can be transmitted, both to Church officials, and to the wider People of God.

“I am the Light of the World” UNITY with the Orthodox C O N FR O N T I N G A C O M M O N A DV E R S A RY In 1964, one day before the end of Vatican Council II, a momentous thing happened: Pope Paul VI and Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I jointly promulgated a decree that lifted the mutual excommunications of 1054, declaring, “These censures were not intended to break ecclesiastical communion between the Sees of Rome and Constantinople.”

The Orthodox Church shares with us the same liturgical faith and sacraments; we and the Orthodox are truly brothers and

sisters in faith. We are not yet fully united ecclesiastically, but both Churches have prayed and worked for this since that day in 1964.

In the meantime, an increasingly secular – and hostile – society is working to promote a vision of man that is opposed to all that the entire Church, East and West, believes.

Both Catholics and Orthodox face ridicule, hatred and even persecution around the globe. Why should we each face them alone?

Join hands with us as we join hands with our Orthodox brothers and sisters to defend Christ’s Body, the Church, from attack, and “shout from the housetops” the Truth that Christ has bequeathed to us about Man and his meaning and destiny. As Patriarch Kirill told us directly in Ekaterinburg, Russia, in 2018, “If we walk together, we are already united. We must keep walking together.”

And the alternative – to refuse to walk together in our common cause – may ultimately hinder our ability to thrive as authentic Christians in the world.

“In our determination to undertake all that is necessary to overcome the historical divergences we have inherited, we wish to combine our efforts to give witness to the Gospel of Christ and to the shared heritage of the Church of the first millennium, responding together to the challenges of the contemporary world.”

– Joint Declaration of Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, February 12, 2016

U R B I E T O R B I ’S R ES P O N S E As Saint John Paul II once presciently remarked of Catholics and Orthodox, “The Church must breathe with both of her lungs!”

These are the words which have inspired and guided Urbi et Orbi Communications for the past three decades. Now, we are poised to launch an entirely new level of effort aimed at helping them become a reality, by expanding our current projects and creating new ones.

Some have said that it will take many more decades, even centuries. Yet, the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity and the Orthodox patriarchs both tell us, “This could be a reality in our lifetimes.”

And so we say that the time to work for unity without reserve is now. The threats that face us are already impelling the leaders of our two Churches – the Pope and the Patriarchs – to join hands in ways not imagined even when we began this work.

Already in 2016, Pope Francis and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill met in Havana, Cuba – a historic moment, and the first face-to-face meeting of its kind. They issued a joint declaration after their meeting, which spoke of their common concern over atheism, consumerism, same-sex “marriage,” abortion and euthanasia; it also expressed the common hope that the meeting might contribute to the re-establishment of Christian unity between the two Churches.

Our Initiatives FR I E N D S O F L E B A N O N Our Friends of Lebanon initiative was instituted in 2020 in response to the devastating blast in Beirut, Lebanon – centered in the Christian section of the capital city. Tens of thousands of Christians, both Catholic and Orthodox, lost their homes, many loved ones and their livelihoods in that one fateful moment. They are still struggling to rebuild in a country that is rife with government corruption and a crumbling economy.

“Friends of Lebanon” coordinates with Lebanese Christians actually living in Beirut, collecting funds to bring relief to suffering people in the form of direct help like food and medicines, and longer-term help with scholarships and practical assistance, so that these struggling people can work toward an independent and dignified future.

WO M E N ’S C O U N C I L O F T H E H E A R T Our brand-new “Women’s Council of the Heart” initiative is an international consortium of distinguished Catholic and Orthodox women. Their task is to respond with their skills, experience and distinctive “feminine genius” to the needs identified by the European Orthodox-Catholic Bishops’ Forum.

S C H O L A R S H I P A N D E XC H A N G E PR O G R A M S Urbi et Orbi Communications’ decades of sustained work bringing together Catholics and Orthodox have earned us an international reputation that opens doors. One example: we have sponsored for multiple years a “clergy exchange” between the Churches, funding pilgrimages for Russian Orthodox seminarians to visit inside the Vatican, and Catholic seminarians to visit the Russian Patriarchate in Moscow. Young men from both sides have told us what a life-changing, and potentially division-healing, experience it was.

We also provide scholarships for Russian students to study in Rome. The Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Istanbul was once such a student studying in the Eternal City; he speaks now of his love for Rome and his gratitude for coming to know the spiritual and cultural center of Orthodoxy’s “sister Church.”

And since 1994, we have sponsored and funded other cultural/spiritual exchanges like concerts of sacred music by Russian Orthodox composers, singers and musicians in Rome and the U.S., and we sent delegations to the Fifth CatholicOrthodox Bishops’ Forum in Paris and to the official Catholic-Orthodox Theological Dialog in Chieti, Italy.

“The Church is one, which is spread abroad far and wide into a multitude by an increase of fruitfulness. As there are many rays of the sun, but one light; and many branches of a tree, but one strength based in its tenacious root; and since from one spring flow many streams, although the multiplicity seems diffused in the liberality of an overflowing abundance, yet the unity is still preserved in the source.”

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us” – Hebrews 12:1 The work of Unitas: Come, Rebuild My Church can only be successful if it is joined to the prayers and sacrifices of the Body of Christ, on earth and in heaven. We seek the special help of heavenly friends whose lives and work resounded with a particular dedication to the cause of unity. Please join us in imploring the assistance of these saints:

S T S . CY R I L A N D METHODIUS, Orate Pro Nobis!

The 9th-century brother saints Cyril and Methodius, Byzantine Christian theologians and missionaries, were born in Greece. They were sent to evangelize to the Slavs in Great Moravia. There, they devised what became the Cyrillic alphabet to translate the liturgy into the vernacular. However, missionaries from Rome insisted on Latin. The brothers travelled to Rome to consult the Pope, who sided with them. The “Apostles to the Slavs,” were declared co-patrons of all Europe by Pope John Paul II in 1980.

STS. FR ANCIS AND CL ARE OF ASSISI, Orate Pro Nobis!

S T. J O S A PH AT, Ora Pro Nobis!

Francis of Assisi, “Il Poverello,” renewed the Church in a time of widespread corruption and apathy.

St. Josaphat Kuncevic, known as the “Martyr of Unity,” was born circa 1580 in what is now Ukraine, and baptized into the Eastern Orthodox Church.

His piety and drive for Christian unity soon directed him to the Catholic order of St. Basil the Great. St. Josaphat wrote and compiled works under the title “A Defense of Church Unity” and became an archbishop.

In 1205, from the cross in the crumbling chapel of San Damiano, Christ told him, “Francis, rebuild My church, for it is nearly falling down.” At first laboring humbly laying stones in the chapel, he realized it was the entire Catholic Church – and the “living stones” that formed it – that needed rebuilding.

Francis gave up all his possessions and inspired his friend, St. Clare – and their followers – to do the same.

In 1212, St. Clare enclosed herself and a small group of women in the monastery at San Damiano, devoting themselves to prayer; they would become the Poor Clares.

Francis, who wished only to imitate his Lord in all things, received the stigmata two years before his death in 1226 at age 44.

St. Josaphat spent his life working for unity between Catholics and the Orthodox, and his followers, called “uniates,” had opponents in both churches. In 1623, he was killed by a mob in his archdiocese of Vitebsk (Belarus). Pope Pius IX declared him a saint in 1867.

S T. J O H N PAU L T H E G R E AT, Ora Pro Nobis!

Throughout his papacy, the first Polish Pope, St. John Paul II (1920-2005) tirelessly encouraged Church unity, emphasizing prayer, open dialogue and personal connection. His continual concern for unity between the Orthodox and Catholics is evidenced in his encyclical Ut Unum Sint (“That All May Be One”) where he declared of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, “The Church must breathe with both her lungs!”

Pope John Paul II made unprecedented efforts toward unity with the Orthodox during his papacy, traveling to predominantly Orthodox countries, meeting at every opportunity with Orthodox leaders, and establishing official dialog between the Orthodox and the Vatican. He said, “To believe in Christ means to desire unity.”

S ERVA NT OF GOD FR . WA LTER CISZEK , Ora Pro Nobis!

Carlo Acutis was born May 3, 1991 and raised in Milan, Italy by Catholic parents who were not devout, but even from a young age, he loved the Catholic faith. Understanding that becoming like God makes us most fully ourselves; he observed, “We are all born originals but many die as photocopies.”

Catherine Doherty, née Kolyschkine, was born in 1896 in pre-Revolutionary Russia to deeply Christian Orthodox parents. She absorbed an extraordinary integration of faith and life, and a passion to incarnate the Gospel into culture.

Catherine brought to the West this Orthodox spirituality.

Born in Pennsylvania in 1904, Jesuit Father Walter Ciszek secretly entered the Soviet Union in 1940 to minister to Christians there while working as a laborer.

Carlo was diagnosed in his teens with leukemia, and offered his sufferings for Pope Benedict XVI and the Church. He died on October 12, 2006, at age 15, and was buried in Assisi, land of his beloved St. Francis.

Carlo visited sites of Eucharistic miracles, which he promoted on a website he built to catalog them.

Speaking of the Eucharist, a main bridge of unity between Catholics and the Orthodox, Carlo said, “the more often we receive the Eucharist, the more we will become like Jesus, so that on this earth we will have a foretaste of heaven.”

Declared “Blessed” on October 10, 2020, his feast day will be October 12th.

Catherine’s exposure to Roman Catholicism while she attended Catholic school abroad eventually led to her formal reception into the Catholic Church. Over her lifetime, Catherine integrated both of these great Christian traditions — Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism — within her own person, and spared no effort to bring about deeper understanding, love, and appreciation of the particular gifts of both.

Catherine endured exile, poverty and heartache, but devoted herself to the poor and oppressed, founding houses, including the famous Madonna House, which promoted a Christian life of simplicity and service in North America. She maintained that it would be through the performing of mundane tasks for others, in a spirit of love, that the world would be restored to Christ.

Fr. Ciszek was arrested in 1941, accused of espionage for the Vatican, and sent to the infamous Lubyanka prison in Moscow. After five years of solitary confinement, torture, and forced cconfession, he was sentenced to 15 years’ hard labor in Siberia.

Throughout his lengthy imprisonment, Fr. Ciszek continued to pray, celebrate Divine Liturgy, hear confessions, and conduct retreats. Released in 1955, he took menial jobs in Siberian towns while secretly establishing mission parishes.

In 1963, the Soviet Union allowed him to leave the country in a prisoner exchange with the U.S. Fr. Ciszek ministered to Orthodox and Catholics alike, endured years of cruel treatment and privation to bring the love of Christ to Christians, suffering under the yoke of communist oppression.

Our Cornerstones

The Urbi et Orbi Foundation, a project of Urbi et Orbi Communications, was created in 2012 to concretize the work for unity that Urbi had been engaged in since 1994.
