"So this is totaly different than original news title."

The Holy See site gives less than a 16-page document, so apparently now there are two sources. But from what i could read, this is really nothing new. The only flagrant error, which completely caught me off guard, was the assertion that the Orthodox don't recognize the pope because. Pope Benedict is keenly aware that the Orthodox are bound by the Fourth Ecumenical Council and by the Sixth Ecumenical Council to recognize Petrine Primacy. We are arguing with them over the extent of his jurisdictional authority which was different in the first millennium.

True, this document is nothing new, even much softer towards Orthodox churches, and news title was sensationalistic.
