“It was a great honor for me to visit Pope Francis,” Rhein tweeted. “It was a moving conversation: we talked about the events in Ukraine, about the importance of religion in the time of crisis: it can help us to find hope and support.”
Rhein, a Catholic layman, told the Archdiocese of Cologne’s Domradio that he also discussed Germany’s Synodal Way with the Pope. He called for greater communication between the Vatican and the Church in Germany in order to avoid conflict.
