Does anyone know who is being appointed to be the delegate(s) of the Catholic Church at the Great Council next month?
 
While it would be great if an Eastern Catholic was sent, it is still good to hear that there will be at least an official Catholic observer to the Pan-Orthodox council.

Orthodox and Eastern Catholic church relations have not been very good in some areas.
 
His Eminence is one of the most extraordinarily gifted ecclesiastics of our time on the issue of relations between Catholics and non-Catholics and of ecclesiology.

We are blessed to have him as President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.

From that article,
Also pertinent to the council are ecumenical relations. In the approved procedures for the meeting (signed by all leaders except the patriarchate of Antioch), the Orthodox leaders agreed that “observers” from other Christian churches or confessions as well inter-Christian organizations “shall be present at the opening and closing sessions of the council without the right to vote or speak.” Among the first to be invited will be Cardinal Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity.
