The visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom to the Vatican next month will include an audience with Pope Francis, suggesting the pope's health is improving.
On Jan. 25, Pope Francis said that the Catholic Church was open to accepting a common date for Easter “that everyone wants.” While the pope’s call may seem groundbreaking, it actually goes back to the Second Vatican Council.
Archbishop Welby, who resigned last week in response to the charges that he had failed to report sexual abuse, had a rapport with Pope Francis that went far beyond dutiful ecumenism.
