CNS - Fifty years later, pope and patriarch meet again in Jerusalem
JERUSALEM (CNS) -- Half a century after
a historic encounter between their
predecessors, Pope Francis and
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew met in
the same place to seek inspiration for
Christian unity at the site of Christ's
death and resurrection.
"We need to believe that, just as the
stone before the tomb was cast aside,
so, too, every obstacle to our full
communion will also be removed," the
pope said May 25 during a prayer service
at the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher.
