Abstract
In the context of the Church's mission and religious freedom, this paper primarily focuses on ecumenical difficulties in our region from a Catholic perspective. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part, the author tries to make a diagnosis of the ecumenical situation in our region. On the basis of relevant documents from the Catholic and Orthodox side, as a starting point for a healthy and correct ecumenical understanding, the author reveals some ecumenical viruses in our parts, among which he particularly focuses on the virus of widespread indifference and passiveness, the virus of one-sided and wrong interpretations, and the virus of fear of ecumenism. Symbolically revealing the widespread ecumenical viruses, in the second part, the author offers ecumenical therapy which he considers the "via dolorosa" of our ecumenism. Among the particularly viral ecumenical issues for our region, the author emphasizes the approach to truth and approach to nation, which in a lot of things weight down the true ecumenical development. The truth should be always sought truthfully, in love and freedom, and nation should not be equated with ecumenism, which is a supranational value. For the author, this is a therapeutic path that leads into the brighter ecumenical future for our region.
