Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"On the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Pope Paul VI embraced the Ecumenical Patriarch, Athenagoras I. . . . It led to the rescinding of the 1054 excommunications of the Ecumenical Patriarch and a number of prominent Roman ecclesiastics.. . . . It did not end the schism, and some Orthodox Christians were not happy with events, but it did show a desire for reconciliation between the churches." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
