CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis has sent a message of sympathy to the Albanian Orthodox Church upon the death of Archbishop Anastas of Tirana, who died on January 25 at the age of 95.

The Pontiff praised the Orthodox leader “whose zealous pastoral service helped the people rediscover its richness and beauty following the years of state-imposed atheism and persecution.”
