Abstract

The article is focused on the analysis of the history of the ecumenical dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches. It also shows its main themes, achievements, difficulties and perspectives. The Second Vatican Council was a breakthrough in Catholic-Orthodox relations. In the aftermath of the Council significant gestures of reconciliation have been made by the Churches. The Catholic-Orthodox theological dialogue has been one of the most important results of this shared commitment to ecumenism. The article discusses the key issues of the dialogue, without avoiding the most difficult questions: uniatism and papal primacy. It considers a possibility of synthesis of the Catholic theology of primacy and the Orthodox theology of conciliarity (synodality) as a promising prospect of further dialogue.
