When I view these photos, what strikes me the most strongly is that it is the Vicar of Christ who called these others to visit him, and it is the Vicar of Christ who sits in the center of the dais, with the nearly-Catholic Orthodox on one side, and the once-Catholic Anglican on the other.
It seems the others are part of the audience. His audience. He calls, they come. He presides, they attend.
What do you make of that, CG?

He calls, they come. He presides, they attend.With all due respect, don't you think the Holy Father should tend to his own flock, before he entertains the novelties of heathens.
I'll repeat myself, crucifixes at Assisi were removed so as not to offend pagans. I challenge you, or any other Catholic, to present a legitimate defense of this gross violation of the First Commandment.
I acknowledge John Paul II as the Pope, and the Vicar of Christ. He is my Pope, but he is mortal and needs our prayers. On the other hand, I cannot acknowledge the legitimacy of false religions as a means to salvation.
