Description


5. King Charles III Meets Pope Francis, Healing 500 Years of Conflict Gregory Copley with John Batchelor The discussion highlights the historic meeting between King Charles III, head of the Anglican Church, and Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church, in Rome. This visit marks the first state visit by a British monarch to the head of the Roman Catholic Church since Henry VIII, effectively covering half a millennium of separation and dispute between the two large Christian sects. The exchange notes that apologies are due, though from whom is not specified, and celebrates the visit as a moment of healing between the religions. The king has proven very adept at achieving such healing, making the history of 17th-century religious conflict seem more ironic than ever.
