Patriarch Bartholomew to attend Pope's enthronement
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew departed late Monday afternoon for Rome to attend the enthronement of the new Pope Francis.
Church sources said that this is the first time since the schism between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church in 1054, that an Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople is to attend a Pope's enthronement.
