Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew meets Pope Leo XIV a second time

·

His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew met with Pope Leo XIV for the second time at the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican on Friday, May 30, the Ecumenical Patriarchate announced.

The “very friendly and cordial” meeting focused on the pope’s upcoming official visit to Turkey and other church-related matters.

The pope also posed for photos with the patriarchal delegation, which included Metropolitan Polykarpos of Italy.

Recently, Bartholomew and Pope Leo jointly announced plans to commemorate the 1,700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea.

The event will be held later this year in Iznik, Turkey—ancient Nicaea—where the original council convened in AD 325, shaping core Christian doctrines.
