The metropolitans of Argentina and Italy will accompany Bartholomew. Moscow Patriarchate hopes in closer cooperation with Rome but excludes for now a meeting between Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill.

The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I will attend Pope Francis’s inaugural Mass. The Ecumenical Patriarchate Press Office informed about the decision, noting that this is the first time such an event occurs since the Catholic-Orthodox split in 1054

This is major :sad_yes:

When I read that he was ordinary for Eastern Catholics in Argentina for 15 years, I knew good things would happen 🙂
 
Surely also a result of the great work done by Papa Benedictus Sextus Decimus. 👍

The Holy Spirit was indeed very strong at this Conclave. Great News for all Christians.

We can certainly hope for a reunion with the Ecumenical Patriarch. It’s not clear who would be chosen to replace him after his perceived apostasy.

A few years ago Bartholomew was planning to host a Great and Holy Council of the Orthodox Churches in 2013. Not surprisingly, that plan quickly ran aground. It will be ironic if the biggest event on his calendar this year turns out to be a papal inauguration.
