Last year he visited Moscow and Istanbul for theological discussions with Orthodox prelates on the prickly question of intercommunion. A close personal friend of Liverpool's Roman Catholic Archbishop John Heenan, who is the odds-on favorite to become the next English cardinal, Ramsey last year became the first Archbishop of Canterbury to lecture at Belgium's Catholic Louvain University. He hopes to visit Pope Paul VI in Rome after the Vatican Council...
