A minute of silence will be observed to remember the victims of wars and of the coronavirus pandemic.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis will attend an ecumenical prayer service and an interreligious ceremony for peace in Rome next week, the Vatican announced Friday.
The prayer service will be held at the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli in the afternoon on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and will include participants from other Christian traditions.
Following the prayer, Pope Francis will also join in a ceremony with representatives of the world’s major religions, to take place in Campidoglio Square.
The square, which sits on Rome’s Capitoline Hill, was designed by Michelangelo. The square’s surrounding buildings house a city museum and Rome’s town hall. The Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli is also on the Capitoline Hill.
The interreligious ceremony will follow the prayer service. It will include speeches, the proclamation and delivery of the 2020 Appeal for Peace, the lighting of a peace candle, and a socially distanced sign of peace.
A minute of silence will be observed to remember the victims of wars and of the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to Pope Francis, other participants will include Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople; Haim Korsia, Chief Rabbi of France; Mohamed Abdelsalam Abdellatif, the Muslim General Secretary of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity; and Buddhist Shoten Minegishi.
The prayer service and ceremony are both organized by the lay Catholic community, Sant’Egidio.
The ecumenical service is called “An Encounter of Prayer for Peace in the Spirit of Assisi,” and the theme is “No one is saved alone -- Peace and Fraternity.”

Did he kiss a Koran?
Does Pope Francis, while attending this ecumenical prayer service, seek surcease for the thousands of Christians butchered by the Muslims during his watch? Will he press the flesh of an Imam whose minions rape and murder Christians around the globe?
Another sign of the End of the Age of Man.
You mean this Pope is going to a Catholic ceremony?
What next? A bear pooping on a San Francisco street?
As many people know, this Pope is a socialist and not a very bright one.
He seems not to know that Democrats start wars and skirmishes that the U.S. participates in, not Republicans. The Republicans are the ones who end the wars like Nixon did (Vietnam) and Trump is doing now in various places. Trump is also avoiding new skirmishes. Biden will jump right into new fracases due to pressures from the Military/Industrial complex and because he wants to pocket payoffs from interested parties.

The Catholic Church?
There was nothing Catholic about this apostate abomination.
