Pope Leo XIV meets Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally
Pope Leo XIV met Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally at the Vatican on Monday, welcoming her into his formal office and praying together during her first official visit to Rome. Mullally, the first woman to lead the global Anglican Communion of about 85 million members, continued her pilgrimage with a visit to St Paul’s Within the Walls, the first non-Catholic church built in Rome. During the encounter Pope Leo said churches should prioritize justice and equality over sexual ethics, signaling a shift in emphasis in his papacy.
Really interesting point from @joshmcelwee.org here. "The unity or division of the Church should not revolve around sexual matters," (Pope Leo said). "I believe there are much greater and more important issues such as justice, equality... that would all take priority before that particular issue."
In which sane folk discover common cause.
This is interesting as a message not only to Catholics in Africa (and the rest of the world), but to Anglicans *particularly* in Africa who are upset about the new ABC. I wonder if/when Archbishop Sarah and Pope Leo will meet. Neutral territory. Maybe Avignon. 😉😉😄
