According to the report, King Charles and Pope Leo are to become the first British monarch and pontiff to pray together at a church service since the Reformation in the 16th Century, BBC reported. This historic moment will be in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican during next week's state visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The report also stated that under the chapel's famous ceiling painted by Michelangelo, the service will bring together clergy and choirs from both the Roman Catholic church and the Church of England, of which the King is the supreme governor. The visit will be seen as an important symbol of reconciliation, in a trip that will also see the first meeting between the King and the new US-born Pope.
The report also stated that the state visit on October 22-23 will see a series of meetings and services emphasizing the warm relations between the Church of England and the Catholic church.
In addition to the report, the King and Queen will meet the Pope and senior Vatican officials, and there will be a special ecumenical service, bringing together Catholic and Anglican traditions, which will see the King and Pope praying together. This moment with a British monarch and Pope Leo praying alongside each other at a shared church service, since Henry VIII's split from Rome in the 16th Century, plays a significant role in building bridges between faiths.
