King Charles and Pope Leo XIV held a historic joint prayer in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, the first time a British monarch and a Pope have prayed together publicly since Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church in the 16th century.
The prayer is the key moment in a two-day visit by the King and Queen to Rome and the Vatican designed to boost ties between the Vatican and the Church of England, of which Charles is the supreme governor.
Due to the importance of the occasion, Buckingham Palace waived its usual ban on filming or photographing a royal while praying.
The King and the pontiff held an ecumenical service beneath Michelangelo’s frescoes depicting the creation of the world as the Sistine Chapel’s choir sang together with the choir from St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

And they are both heads of churches. Charles is officially head of the C of E.
One one level this is just a photo op, but it seriously is a big deal.
I have to laugh at the BS that will be spun out of this. One can see it is all for show.
Considering that this last happened during the reign of Henry VIII then yes, it’s a big deal.

Would the Times care to report which precise words were spoken jointly in prayer? I do not think so.
KC LOVES muslims,... soooooo..... let’s let this play out before celebrating.
(I am Catholic.)
“Dear God, Whom we call upon to conform to our emotions, whims, and wishes, please spare us from the Truth, save us from man-made climate change, and deliver us from the evil Donald J. Trump. Help us to look like we agree in matters of faith and teaching so the world can see how much we care, and how historic we can be if we believe in ourselves and try. Amen”
Did they both have a special service to worship their deity Gaia?
Both men serve the Deep State and mammon, not God.
Afterwards they passed around a couple of party alter boys.
“Due to the importance of the occasion, Buckingham Palace waived its usual ban on filming or photographing a royal while praying.”
Pray to the Father, Who sees in Secret, and your Father who sees in Secret, shall reward you openly”
Charles “The Weak” should pray for his Monarchy. It’s in serious trouble.
Did they both have prayer rugs, and bow towards Mecca?
They did this so quickly, less than a week, after an organization representing most of the Anglicans said they were no longer accepting the authority of the Church of England, King Charles, and the Archbishop of Canterbury. These are mostly Anglicans in Africa and India. There were other issues, but the female Archbishop of Canterbury was probably the last straw. So seems like someone wants a big show to distract from that. That is even eluded to in the official statement.
Oh brother...what a joke.
I agree. The Pope is no king and IMO is not a Bible follower. Popes in the last couple of decades have strayed from biblical teachings to embrace teachings of the world.
Who did they pray to?
Were they praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
Or were they praying in the new Mekkaah Room to some false god. With Booby Bobby Prevost and Charles von Saxe-Coburg rebranded as Windor one can never be certain.
No reigning British monarch has ever visited Jerusalem or Israel.
It sounds like Leo isn’t into the far-left’s “No Kings” freak show and jerkle cirk
