Pope Leo XIV received in a Nov. 6 audience the members of the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE, by its Spanish acronym), the Ecumenical Council of Churches (CEC), and the representatives of the Christian Churches of Europe, who met in Rome to sign the updated “Charta Œcumenica.” The pontiff referred to the ecumenical document as a “testimony to the willingness of the Churches of Europe to look at our history with the eyes of Christ” and noted that “the synodal path is ecumenical, just as the ecumenical path is synodal.” Furthermore, Pope Leo highlighted that one of the most remarkable achievements of the review process has been “the ability to share a common vision on contemporary challenges and to establish priorities for the future of the continent while maintaining a firm conviction in the enduring relevance of the Gospel.”
