TheCatholic–Orthodox Joint Declaration of 1965 was read out on 7 December 1965, simultaneously at a public meeting of theSecond Vatican Council inRome, and at a special ceremony inIstanbul. It withdrew the exchange ofexcommunications between prominent ecclesiastics in theHoly See and theEcumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, commonly known as theGreat Schism of 1054. While it did not end the schism, it showed a desire for greater reconciliation between the two churches, represented byPope Paul VI andEcumenical PatriarchAthenagoras I.[1]
MetropolitanPhilaret (Voznesensky) of theRussian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia openly challenged the Patriarch's efforts at rapprochement with the Roman Catholic Church, claiming that it would inevitably lead toheresy, in his 1965 epistle to the Patriarch.[2]
