Ecumenical Pact in Bari: Apostasy Masquerading as Christian Unity
Italian bishops’ conference reports (January 24, 2026) that Christian leaders signed an “ecumenical pact” at a symposium in Bari. The document commits participants to “mutual respect,” “dialogue with society,” and “common witness,” while Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Polykarpos invoked a “symphony” of churches maintaining their “differences.” Cardinal Matteo Zuppi questioned how to confront a “secularized culture,” yet the pact conspicuously avoids proclaiming Christ as sole Savior. Archbishop Giuseppe Satriano compared this gathering to the Council of Nicaea – a blasphemous parallel given Nicaea’s condemnation of heresies these very participants propagate.
