Visit to the Pope's Inaugural Mass

Just a nice quick post with some semi-interesting news.

Since 1054, not a single Greek Orthodox Patriarch has attended a single Pope Inaugural Mass. Why? I have no idea. Why is Fener Greek-Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I set to attend Pope Francis’ inaugural Mass in Rome on March 19? I also have no idea.

As you've probably figured out, Fener Freek-Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew I, along with several other religious leaders, are set to attend the new Pope's inaugural mass. This could symbolise the start of an improving relationship between the Christians and Orthodox. Otherwise, this amount of news is about as important as one prime minister visiting another prime minister after the later prime minister had just been elected.
