AsiaNews: [F]or Hilarion, the Greek-Catholic Church is a major obstacle in relations between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Holy See.
The Orthodox, he said, have always perceived the Uniates in a very negative light, “as a special project by the Catholic Church,” because “they dress like Orthodox, follow Orthodox rituals, but are in fact Catholic,” which gives them and the Vatican a certain leeway.
