Words matched gestures. Dimitrios announced the establishment of a joint commission of theologians that will work to resolve differences. The first meeting is expected next spring. In a joint statement, the two leaders said the goal of the talks is nothing less than "re-establishment of full communion" between the world's 700 million Roman Catholics and more than a dozen self-governing branches of Eastern Orthodoxy that together include an estimated 125 million believers. A new spirit of warmth had begun when Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I met in Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives...
...Great Schism between these two branches of Christianity is traditionally dated from mutual excommunications hurled in 1054 by Rome and Constantinople (as Istanbul was called until 1930). In 1204 Crusaders sacked Constantinople and temporarily installed a Latin-rite Patriarch. Today there are still differences about such matters as divorce (the Orthodox permit it on grounds of adultery and allow no more than three marriages in a lifetime), and especially the Nicene Creed. The Orthodox insist on the original wording of the creed, in which the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father." Catholicism adds that the Spirit proceeds from "the Father...

In other words it saw virtually no doctrinal barrier to joint Communion, which is not yet the case with any other Christian body. For the Orthodox, however, Communion should be shared only when full doctrinal accord is achieved...
...normal erection results from a complex interaction of forces. Mental or physical stimulation sets off a series of nervous reflexes that increase blood flow to the penis. As the blood fills the corpora cavernosa, two rod-shaped bundles of spongy tissue running the length of the organ, the penis expands, becoming hard and erect. But the sexual response is fragile; it can easily be disrupted by emotional or physical problems (some, like an excess of alcohol, temporary...
...facing permanent impotence resulting from surgery for cancers in the pelvic region, diabetes, spinal cord injuries or other physical causes-and for those whose problem is psychological in origin and is not helped by therapy-two kinds of penile implants are available. In one operation, which takes about an hour, an incision is made in the penis or just behind the scrotum and a semirigid silicone rod is inserted into each of the corpora cavernosa. Another technique is to implant only one rod between the two structures. The most popular device, developed in 1972 by Urologists Michael Small and Hernan...
