POPE FRANCIS
'This baptismal faith is responsible for really converting us into brothers and sisters.â?
The Pope celebrated the opening of a new ecumenical Methodist headquarters in Rome. He asked them to make every effort possible to get to know each other among Catholics and Methodists. He also explained that a community can be built between the two Churches, in working together by lending a hand to help the needy, especially in a wounded world, like the one we all share today.
