Pope, Kirill to Meet at Rel. Congress in Sept.; Congress of Rel. Leaders to Meet in Kazakhstan

The Vatican has announced that Pope Francis will travel to Kazakhstan in September for an international interfaith summit that is also expected to draw the participation of Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, the Crux website reports today (June 2, 2022).


The summit, hosted by the Kazak government and titled "Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions," is set for Sept. 14-15 in the capital city of Nur-Sultan. 


Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Kirill has been criticized first for his silence and then for his support of Russia's invasion.
