Ecumenical worker?

In article about Ujčić is written:

According to Belgrade Archbishop and Metropolitan Stanislav Hočevar, Archbishop Ujčić, who has been in Belgrade for almost 28 years, never met with the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the dominant religious community in Serbia, which was strange at the time because of the strong ecumenical work of his predecessor, Rafael Rodič, the first Archbishop of Belgrade, and also Croat by origin.^[1]

He was not ecumenical worker, because his predecessor was not too. In article is said about Rodič only this:

Prvi nadbiskup mons. Rafael Rodić, Hrvat, bio je tu jer je mogao vrlo dobro komunicirati ne samo sa svojim vjernicima hrvatskog porijekla nego i sa Srbima, Mađarima, Nijemcima itd. - it means only:

The first archbishop, Msgr. Rafael Rodić, a Croat, was there because he could communicate very well not only with his believers of Croatian origin, but also with Serbs, Hungarians, Germans, etc.

Only he could communicate very well is written.

However, Hočevar nowhere claims that Rodič was an ecumenical worker - because in those days this concept did not exist at all, at least not in the way it did around the Second Vatican Council (Rodič had already given up his job in 1936) - and the main culprit is with its hostile attitude, it was precisely the leadership of the Serbian Orthodox Church against the concordat with the Catholic Church, which culminated in the tragic-comic "Bloody Procession" in the year 1937. It is interesting that the patriarch Varnava Rosić was FOR the concordat, only the HOLY SYNOD (or at least its majority) - and especially Nikolaj Velimirović was also against it - incited the people against the concordat, which was accepted in Parliament but never ratified due to so much hatred. Therefore, if his successor Ujčič never met the patriarch, he must have learned from his (Rodič's) sad experiences with the top of the Serbian Orthodox Church. --Stebunik (talk) 21:04, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who was trully Ivan Rafael Rodić?

All these extremely complicated Serbian situations are described on the basis of authentic sources in the article Ivan Rafael Rodić in Slovenian. It would therefore be good to translate it into English as well.--Stebunik (talk) 21:45, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
