Unfortunately, I know very little about the religious implications of 
the Ukranian election.  I only know what CNN reports.  I'll have to 
leave that specific conversation to the more informed.

My earlier comments apply to a general pattern of behavior over the 
course of several decades, rather than to a specific visit by the Pope 
to a particular place.  John Paul has done a number of things that weigh 
in both directions on Christian unity -- Ut Unum Sint, for example, will 
probably eventually be remembered as a great step forward -- but overall 
he seems to have lost considerable ground since previous popes in 
actually accomplishing agreement on ecumenical efforts.
