Leo XIV: Synodality with Ecumenism

Leo XIV, today, in Audience to Representatives of other Christian Communities and Other Religions:

"Aware, moreover, that synodality and ecumenism are closely related, I wish to assure my intention to continue Pope Francis' commitment to promoting the synodal character of the Catholic Church and developing new and concrete forms for an ever more intense synodality in the ecumenical field.

"Our common journey can and should also be understood in a broad sense, involving everyone, in the spirit of human brotherhood I mentioned above. Today is a time for dialogue and building bridges. And therefore I am glad and grateful for the presence of the Representatives of other religious traditions, who share the search for God and His will, which is always and only the will of love and life for men and women and for all creatures."
