US EditionSarah Mullally to Meet Pope Leo XIV in Rome This Weekend
The pilgrimage will include prayer, formal theological dialogue and talks aimed at improving Anglican-Catholic relations, the archbishop’s statement said.
- Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally will travel to Rome this weekend for a four-day visit, including an audience with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Monday morning.
- This pilgrimage follows 60 years of deepening dialogue and fellowship between Anglicans and Catholics, though disagreements regarding women's clerical status remain a significant obstacle to full unity.
- Seeking "to affirm a shared witness, and encourage ongoing collaboration at both global and local levels," Mullally will also visit the tombs of St. Peter and St. Paul.
- Following criticism from President Donald Trump, who called the pope "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy," Mullally backed Leo's calls for peace.
- Before Mullally ventures to Africa in July, where some bishops reject her leadership, this meeting reflects the warmth between church leaders and the potential for future ecumenical progress.
