Pope Leo XIV has discussed how unity in the Church won't come from "our own efforts" nor "through any preconceived model or blueprint", rather it depends on the will of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
His comments came during a conference at the Vatican to mark the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, in which he discussed the relationship between the Western and Eastern Churches.
Meeting on Saturday with members of the Symposium “Nicaea and the Church of the Third Millennium: Towards Catholic-Orthodox Unity”, the pontiff said that unity will be a gift received as Christ wills and by the working of the Holy Spirit.
