Pope Welcomes a Greek Orthodox Delegation; Says Pandemic Should Be Lesson in Humility

 Pope Francis welcomed a delegation from Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate Bartholomew I of Constantinople today (June 28, 2021),  urging Catholic and Orthodox faithful not to "squander" the "dramatic crisis"caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the CRUX website reports.


The delegation is in Rome this week to celebrate the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.


The pope said the pandemic "is a lesson in humility showing that it is not possible to live healthy lives in an unhealthy world, or to go on as we were, without recognizing what went wrong."
