Title: Cardinal participates in Greek Orthodox Divine Liturgy

This event occurred in Germany.

The Roman Catholic Novus Ordo Cardinal passed out blessed bread at the conclusion of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy.

Ecuмenism raises its ugly head once again.

I mean this would pale in comparison to say Assisi right?

Maybe the news is that this is in fact no longer news.

Exactly. Francis prays with non-Christian Buddhists, Moslems, and Jєωs, and says that they all worship the same one God as do the Christians. Thus he denies the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

No, it is Greek Orthodox. Using my mediocre Greek reading (those with more knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong), I can see that this church is called:
Αγίου Δημητρίου στο Άαχεν Γερμανίας - Agios (or Saint) Demetrios, and it's in Aachen, Germany.

It is Greek Orthodox. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Michael%27s_Church,_Aachen)
