Jesus asked: Will the Son of Man find faith when He returns?
In its broadest strokes, the Pope's vision of a
religiously united Eastern and Western Europe -- a Europe
"breathing with two lungs" that would in time overcome a
thousand years of separation -- reinforces other ongoing
efforts to overcome Europe's division, such as NATO and EU
enlargement. While religious unity is still a distant
dream, both between West and East and among Western groups,
the growing cooperation between the Holy See and Eastern
Orthodoxy, combined with growing political and economic
unity between East and West, can open the door to the rise
of a unity not seen since the days of the Byzantine Empire.
