Walter Cardinal Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, who is currently paying a visit to the Holy Land, made sure to meet the Custos of the Holy Land, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and the Franciscan community of Saint Saviour’s.
Accompanied by his secretary, he was received by the friars in the community room of the main monastery in Jerusalem. Informal dialogue created an atmosphere of fraternal simplicity and good humor. The prelates told several anecdotes of the daily ecumenism that prevails in the Holy Land. We are far from the theological discussions that make up the cardinal’s daily life.
After the traditional exchange of gifts, Cardinal Kasper and Brother Pierbattista Pizzaballa had a private meeting.
