pope John Paul II quote
breathe with both lungs, East and West
Explanation: For John Paul, being a Pole, the Orthodox reality was more pressingly immediate, but I have no doubt that Benedict shares his yearning for the time when the Church will once again "breathe with both lungs, East and West."
Und eine Erläuterung:
Christianity must breathe with two lungs, Eastern and Western. This metaphor, which belongs to the Russian poet Vyacheslav Ivanov and derives from the worldview of Vladimir Soloviev, is very popular in Catholic circles. It was used by the late pope John Paul II in his public addresses. Today Ivanov’s metaphor is often used with regard to Europe and European Christianity, as well as within the context of the dialogue between the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches. The dynamics of the Catholic-Orthodox relations in contemporary epoch makes the theme of the two lungs of European Christianity particularly relevant. http://www.orthodoxeurope.org/page/14/74.aspx
