The Pope will receive the highest authority in Sunni Islam at the Vatican on Monday
Pope Francis will receive the highest authority in Sunni Islam in an unprecedented meeting at the Vatican on Monday.
The meeting between Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, grand imam of al-Azhar, Cairo, and Pope Francis was revealed by Vatican spokesman Fr Federico Lombardi.
Fr Lombardi said: “This audience is being prepared and has been scheduled for Monday. It will be a first.”
Al-Tayeb suspended dialogue with the Holy See on behalf of Al-Azhar University in 2011. Benedict XVI had called for the protection of Christian minorities following a bomb attack on a church in Alexandria which was perceived as interfering in Egypt’s affairs.

If Francis becomes sunni, can he still be Pope?

Pope Francis is making the doctrine of Papal infallibility tough to swallow.

"Can a Pope be impeached?" Yes, it happened to Pope Benedict. That's how we got Pope Marx.
But I think it was more of an inside coup than an impeachment.

Just when you think the Pope cannot possibly do anything stupider...
It’s time for Benedict to say, “Thanks Francis for holding down the fort. I feel much better now, so I’ll be taking my old job back. Be sure to drop off the keys on your way out.”

My personal observation is that while infallibility may be the tenet, senility and/or dementia is not. What this tells me is that the Cardinals that chose him are most certainly ‘fallible.’

“Pope Francis will receive the highest authority in Sunni Islam in an unprecedented meeting at the Vatican on Monday.

Never heard of him.
