Papal message to Ecumenical Patriarch
October 27, 2015
Pope Francis has sent a message to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who holds a primacy of honor among Orthodox Christians, as he received an honorary doctorate from Sophia University Institute in Loppiano, Italy.
“I am pleased with this award which, besides being a rightful recognition of his commitment to the promotion of the culture of unity, contributes favorably to the common journey of our churches towards full and visible unity, to which we tend with dedication and perseverance,” the Pope said.
