CWN Editor's Note: The Vatican newspaper has published a list of the representatives of the over 150 nations and international organizations that sent representatives to the May 18 Mass for the beginning of Pope Leo’s pontificate.
Topping the list are the members of the delegations of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, other Orthodox churches, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. (The Oriental Orthodox churches ceased to be in full communion with the Holy See following the Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon in 451.)
