The Russian Orthodox Church
has not ruled out a second and possibly third reunion of its
leader Patriarch Kirill with Pope Francis following their
historic meeting in Cuba earlier this month.
Metropolitan Hilarion, head of the Russian Church's
external relations department, told the Tass news agency that
the first meeting could be followed by a second and maybe a
third, but there were currently no specific plans agreed.
The February 12 meeting in Cuba was aimed at helping to
thaw relations between the Russian Orthodox and the Roman
Catholic Churches, which split in the 11th century.
