On February 5, Leo XIV received priests and monks representing the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Malankara, and Syriac schismatic groups, which he referred to as "churches."
Catholics believe that Jesus Christ founded one church.
Pope Leo XIV said: "Dear friends, the historic and cultural differences among our churches represent a wonderful mosaic of our shared Christian heritage, which we can all appreciate."
He wants "to support each other so that we may grow in our shared faith in Christ." "When we remove the prejudices within ourselves and open our hearts, we grow in charity, work more closely together, and strengthen our bonds of unity in Christ."

Oh dear. Political “Christianity”
“schismatic”
Which we already have a surplus of.
The planned disosolution of the Church cintinues.
Is that what he’s gonna say after he causes a bunch of schism’s? Another commie heretic. He can be the pope of homos.
