PRAY FOR THIS GATHERING...AS POPE FRANCIS WILL ATTEND...HE IS DOING MUCH TO ENCOURAGE GREATER CHURCH UNITY AMONGST PROTESTANTS, CATHOLICS, AND ORTHODOX. THIS IS VERY ENCOURAGING.

Co-hosted by the Church of Sweden, the event will highlight the solid ecumenical developments between Catholics and Lutherans and the joint gifts received through dialogue, particularly in anticipation of the 500th Reformation anniversary in 2017.

POPE DID NOT MEET w/ BERNIE. Y DID BERNIE SAY THEY DID MEET PRIVATELY? "Pope Francis apologises to Bernie Sanders after missing his Vatican visit from New York" | Daily Mail Online
This is strange. I thought elsewhere in a different article that Bernie claims he did meet briefly w/ the Pope privately (see below ny times misleading title) Maybe the Vatican wants to make sure they know he did not meet with Bernie. I mean let's be honest about it, Bernie Sanders represents the opposite of what the catholic church & the Pope stand for. Bernie is pro abortion , Catholic Church is anti abortion & pro life. Bernie is pro gay marriage, Catholic Church is anti gay marriage or pro traditional marriage . there is no so-called gay marriage in the Catholic Church.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3542163/Pope-apologies-missing-Vatican-meeting-Bernie-Sanders-rushed-New-York-attend.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
NO HE DID NOT: "Bernie Sanders Meets With Pope Francis" ny times misleading title suggests that Bernie & the Pope had a meet-&-greet sit-down talk, but in fact, if you read the above link (daily mail) you will see that the pope told Bernie he could not meet with him at the conference Bernie attended, but, for politeness sake, if Bernie wanted to shake the pope's hand, he should be at a certain hall at 6am as the pope was leaving for a trip, and they briefly shook hands in passing.

SANDERS IS OPPOSITE OF EVERYTHING CATHOLIC "- Bernie Sanders says he met with Pope Francis"
Can't imagine the Pope would have much interest in meeting with Bernie apart from perhaps the idea that he might be able to pray& convert Bernie but to be honest bernie is the opposite of everything Catholic especially pro-life issues which Bernie opposes

POPE'S SYMBOLIC GESTURE MISINTERPRETED? "The Problem With Multi-Cultural Foot Washing" Frontpage Mag
To all Muslims out there, we want to let you know, as Christians, that we enter into positions of servitude as a symbolic gesture of unity and harmony with others,not just other Christians. It's a gesture of friendship and care . it's not a gesture of weakness nor submission to Islam or to Muhammad nor to anything associated with Islam. We are not weak as Christians but we are in Christ and submit ourselves as servants to Christ which also means service to others, but this is not a matter of weakness but of strength. this is real strength,caring 4 others.
"Historically, the People of the Book were expected to assume the status of dhimmis—second-class citizens with limited rights. The origin of this attitude can be found in several verses in the Koran, particularly 9:29, which says that the "People of the Book" are to be fought "until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued..."
