After Mass, the Pope appeared at the Wednesday General Audience, in which he asked for the prayers of the people for him, the Bishop of Rome:

In a reference to ecumenical affairs, the Pope prayed "that the Virgin Mary will grant us that the Petrine ministry of the Bishop of Rome will not be considered a stumbing block but an aid on the path to unity." After the Angelus audience, the Pontiff went to the St. Martha residence, where he shared a midday meal with the members of the Orthodox delegation.

Many who like to spout of meaningless tropes have accused B16 of wanting to "take the Church back to the Middle Ages." Michael has maintained, and I agree that if you mean the Church of 1000….you might be right.
