Pope Leo XIV held a private audience with the recently installed Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual leader of the Church of England. The Holy Father expressed his joy at receiving the Archbishop during the Easter season and reflected on decades of dialogue between Catholics and Anglicans aimed at “complete communion in faith and sacramental life.” Pope Leo also said it would be a scandal if the two churches did not work together to overcome their differences. Rev. James Bradley, Assistant Professor at the School of Canon Law at The Catholic University of America, joins to discuss the significance of the meeting, how often popes have met with leaders of the Anglican Communion, and what can be achieved practically toward achieving unity.
