Pope ends first day of visit with call for Christian unity
Pope Francis calls for greater unity among Christian sects and refers to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I as “my dear brother” in his speech at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
His Holiness is now off to dinner and we’re done here for the night. Tune in tomorrow morning for the papal visit to the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, Mt. Herzl, Yad Vashem, Mt. Zion, and meetings with President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
