And the Coptic Pope might well be closer to traditional Christianity than Pope Francis is. The scandal might be Tawadros appearing with Francis, not Francis appearing with Tawadros.
And speaking of Tawadros:
Yet, while Tawadros has cultivated a good friendship with Francis, his actions are not supported by Coptic Orthodox clergy, who view him as making too many concessions and engaging in dangerous ecumenism with the Catholic Church.
Father Rafic Greiche, former spokesman for the Coptic Catholic Church – which is not to be confused with Tawadros’ Coptic Orthodox Church – stated how “there’s a lot of discretion around this visit, because a number of Copts and their bishops are against it.”
An “internal source” in the Coptic Orthodox Church argued that some Orthodox faithful feared “Tawadros II is going to hand over our Church to the Catholics.”
Bergoglio gives relics of St. Peter, the first Pope, to the schismatic Orthodox; Tawadros give relics of murdered Copts to Bergoglio. JP II returns a captured battle flag from the Ottoman fleet at the naval battle of Lepanto to Turkey. They, except for Turkey, all refer to each other as "Popes".
It's like a cluster surrender to each other. But there's no winner, just a bunch of men who don't have faith in the particular "religion" they claim to profess and protect.
