History of Relationship of ROC and Vatican in the 20th of the 20th Century

Abstract

In article relationship of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and the Roman R Catholic church (payment processing center) in 20-е years of the 20th century are analyzed. During this period interaction of Orthodox Christians of Russia and Catholics couldn’t be carried out because of establishment of the Soviet power. Atheistic policy of Bolsheviks has interrupted a possibility of development of dialogue with Vatican. The similar situation was characteristic of interaction of ROC and with other Christian religions. However the Russian emigration assisted in building relations with Vatican. In the second half of the 20th of the relation with ROC with Vatican have begun to renew because of interest of the Soviet government to come to the international scene. For this reason during this period there has taken place a number of meetings of representatives of ROC with Catholics.
