CWN Editor's Note: Meeting of February 6 with a group of clerics from the Oriental Orthodox churches, Pope Francis emphasized the value of the Nicene Creed as an “exemplary and unparalleled” expression of common Christian faith.

The Pope told the Orthodox priests—who were in Rome for a seminar sponsored by the Dicastery for Christian Unity—that ecumenical progress relies on charity. “The proclamation of our common faith requires before all else that we love one another,” he said.

    The proclamation of our common faith requires before all else that we tell the truth and obey God's will for our moral behavior. Our love for one another goes beyond mere words; it requires acts of charity and discipline.
