More Papal Ecumenism

Pope Francis of the Roman Catholic Church and Pope Tawadros II of the Coptic Orthodox Church signed a declaration on Friday during the former’s visit to Egypt, agreeing that rebaptism should not be held for Christians wishing to convert from one church to the other.

 . . .

Friday’s agreement will end the previous standards that were practiced under late Pope Shenouda III, who asserted that one had to undergo rebaptism if one was not baptised in an Orthodox Church, according to state-owned newspaper Al Ahram.

Thankfully, there is some pushback against the heretical teachers within the Orthodox Church:

May God also help Patriarch Kirill of Moscow to distance himself from Pope Francis and other misguided souls.
