ZIZIOULAS: Mainly to the so-called “eucharistic ecclesiology” of the Russian theologian Nicolai Afanassieff, who formulated the axiom “wherever the Eucharist is, there is the Church”. This meant that each local Church in which the Eucharist is celebrated should be regarded as the full and Catholic Church.

Kolokotronis, is this the basis of what the Orthodox Churches teach on the validity of the Catholic Eucharist? From what I remember reading about your participation in eucharistic benedictions when you were younger, it would seem to me that you, at the very least, believe in the validity of our Mass.
