The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, has written a letter to Pope Francis on the Solemnity of the Apostles Sts. Peter and Paul.
Here below is the Vatican-provided letter, given to Pope Francis by a delegation from the Patriarchate who visited Rome today.
To His Holiness Pope Francis of Elder Rome: rejoice in the Lord.
In concelebrating with You the venerable memory of the Chief among the Apostles Peter and the Apostle to the Gentiles Paul, who were martyred in Your See and honored greatly by the Elder as well as the New Rome, we adhere to the blessed tradition of exchanging official visits through Delegations of our Churches on the occasion of our respective Thronal Feasts.

. I hope the friendship that currently exists between the EP and the Roman papacy may continue beyond the current office holders.
