Personal Assessment on the Documents of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the insights derived from the documents of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, focusing on the concepts of theosis, koinonia, and ecclesial communion. It highlights the role of the bishop in the eucharistic assembly and the implications for apostolic succession, emphasizing the relational ontology shaped by the Trinitarian understanding within the Church. The examination culminates in an analysis of key theological contributions and the communal nature of faith as expressed in the liturgy.
