		VATICAN CITY – Pope John Paul II has kissed a treasured Russian icon and sent it back to Moscow as a sign of his affection for the Russian Orthodox Church and his desire to end 1,000 years of division between the Catholic and Orthodox worlds.
		Alexey II has said repeatedly that he will not meet with the pope until they have resolved serious problems that have arisen between the churches following the fall of communism.
		In August, Alexey said, in effect, that the icon – one of many copies made in the late 17th and early 18th century of the original, 16th-century, miracle-working Madonna of Kazan – was not a good enough bargaining chip to win a papal visit.

		The patriarchate of Constantinople, although still retaining its honorary primacy in the Orthodox Church, ended as an ecumenical institution in the 19th century when, with the liberation of the Orthodox peoples from Ottoman rule, a succession of autocephalous churches was set up: Greece (1833), Romania (1864), Bulgaria (1871), and Serbia (1879).
		Except for the brief reign of Patriarch Nikon in the mid-17th century, the patriarchs of Moscow and the Russian church were entirely subordinate to the tsars.

	Praying for Christian Unity, Pope Sends Treasured Icon Back to Russia -- Beliefnet.com

		Earlier this month, Alexey said, in effect, that the icon -- one of many copies made in the late 17th and early 18th century of the original, 16th-century, miracle-working Madonna of Kazan -- was not a good enough bargaining chip to win a papal visit.
		Because the pope's icon "is only a copy," he told the Itar-Tass news agency on Aug. 13, "there is no need at all for him to deliver it himself." But an aide to the patriarch spoke in a more conciliatory tone Tuesday.

		Among them were an explicit rejection of all forms of proselytism on the canonical territory of the Moscow Patriarchate, and the recognition of the fact that 'Uniatism' could no longer be considered as a way towards Christian unity.
