“I wished to inaugurate the Ezio Aletti Study and Research Center in person, because it was recently founded as a part of the Pontifical Oriental Institute with the aim of creating privileged opportunities for meetings and exchanges on the subject of Christianity in East Europe... It is already evident here how living together, knowing one another and undertaking research in common is a royal road in the quest for a deeper communion between the Churches...”(John Paul II - December 1993)
