Brother Roger of Taize - Reconciliation

In 1980, during a European young adult meeting in Rome, [Brother Roger] expressed this publicly in the following terms in Saint Peter’s Basilica, in presence of Pope John Paul II,
“I have found my own identity as a Christian by reconciling within myself the faith of my origins with the mystery of the Catholic faith, without breaking fellowship with anyone.”
Receiving an Orthodox delegation one day, John Paul II later spoke of a communion that is “neither absorption, nor fusion, but a meeting in truth and in love”.
