Pope Leo told his ecumenical audience: “By celebrating together this Nicene faith and by proclaiming it together, we will also advance towards the restoration of full communion among us.”

Later this year, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors will deliver a “Universal Guidelines Framework for Safeguarding,” exploring “conversional justice through the lens of reparations.”

Pope Leo and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke together by phone today, June 4, for the first time, the Kremlin said.

“It is not important to be perfect, but it is necessary to be credible,” the pope said in his homily at the Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica.
