Pope Francis doing things like this wedding is the reason why I sincerely admire this man. No matter where he goes, the way he interacts with people he comes into contact with always is on a personal level.

If you watch the air wedding, stay tuned and watched the video that comes up next with the little boy that steals the show. Its just too cute.

TASS: Society & Culture - Pope Francis speaks against encroachments on integrity of Russian Church

Roman Catholic Church speaks in favor of unity of the Russian Orthodox Church in the wake of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s plans to institute an independent local [national] Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Pope Francis I said at a meeting with a group of Russian clerics on Thursday.
The group visiting the Holy See was led by Metropolitan Hilarion, the chief of the department for external church relations.

https://www.christiantoday.com/arti...cs-will-not-meddle-in-your-affairs/129494.htm

Pope Francis has promised the Russian Orthodox Church that Catholics will not 'meddle' in its affairs, saying 'those who meddle, do not obey the Holy See' and adding he will 'never allow' an attitude of division between the Churches.
The pope made the comments while meeting with a delegation of officials from the patriarchate of Moscow led by Hilarion of Volokolamsk, the chairman of external church relations. According to Rome Reports, the Moscow patriarchate is one of the most reluctant to talk with Rome, but the pope received them with 'open arms'.
