UN Security Council Invites Pope Francis, Al-Azhar Imam for Joint Speech
Al-Monitor ^ | 5/9/23 | Mohammed Magdy

In a first, the world’s two most prominent religious leaders are expected to deliver a joint speech on peace at the UN Security Council at a time when wars and conflicts are raging across the world.

CAIRO — The head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, have received an official invitation from the United Nations Security Council to each deliver a historic speech during its meeting in June in New York, Al-Monitor has learned.

An Egyptian clerical source told Al-Monitor that the ‎speeches of the prominent religious leaders will be delivered before a high-level session of the council dubbed, “The ‎Importance of Human Fraternity Values in Promoting and ‎Sustaining Peace,” due in mid-June at the UN’s headquarters.‎

"The United Arab Emirates [which will be holding the Security Council’s presidency] will highlight pressing and urgent humanitarian issues and try to take serious steps toward establishing security and ending conflicts around the world,” the invitation states.

The two religious leaders will confirm their attendance this month, the source told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity.

“They [the two leaders] are used to supporting any step that can promote peace in the world, so their attendance could help solve crises and stop wars around us,” the source added.

Exactly what religion does Bergoglio lead?

Just asking on his behalf…he himself obviously doesn’t know.

Actually, only Catholicism is a religion; the other is a cult of world domination through terror. But, of course, with the imPopestor running things, the Church may not be visible.

“joint speech”

How does that work, one speaks the nouns and pronouns and the other utters the verbs and adverbs?

Winner 🏆

This is exactly what is wrong with the ‘Abraham Accords’

But most of the world 🌎🌍 will not listen so that which was written in the Bible so long ago will happen.
