Pope
sends greetings to Waldensian synod
(Vatican
Radio) Pope Francis, through his Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin,
has sent greetings to a synod of the Waldensian and Methodist Church. The synod
is meeting from 23-28 August in Torre Pellice, near Turin, Italy.
In
a telegram addressed to the local Catholic Bishop, Cardinal Parolin assured the
participants in the synod of the Pope’s spiritual closeness. Pope Francis, he
said, promised “a fervent remembrance in his prayers, that the Lord may grant
to all Christians the joy of journeying with sincerity of heart toward full
communion, in order to bear witness to Jesus Christ and to His Gospel, working
together in service to humanity, especially in defence of the dignity of the
human person, in the promotion of justice and peace, and in giving a common
response to the suffering that afflicts so many people, especially the poor and
the weak.”
