Pope Francis and Russian Patriarch Kirill met via video call. They spoke about the war in Ukraine and the role Christians must play to bring about peace.
The Pope and Patriarch agreed that the different churches should focus on using the language of Jesus and not that of politics. Pope Francis insisted that 'wars are always unjust because the People of God are the ones who pay.'
Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, and Metropolitan Hilarion, Head of Moscow's Patriarchate Department for External Relations, were also present.
