"While this marks a historic moment for the Roman Catholic Church, it also serves as a reminder for Orthodox Christians to pray for all who seek to lead others in the name of Christ. We must remember that from the Orthodox perspective, the Pope of Rome, since the Great Schism of 1054, no longer holds canonical authority within the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. The path to true unity lies not in novelty or innovation, but in repentance, humility, and a return to the unbroken Tradition of the Fathers. Let us remain steadfast in the Orthodox Faith and continue to witness to the fullness of the Truth entrusted to the Church by Christ Himself. The Orthodox Church should prepare for converts even more so with the election of Cardinal Provost".
