Mark Carne meets Pope Liu XIV after the opening of the Vatican – National

prime minister Mark Carney He had a brief audience with Pope Liu XIV On Sunday afternoon in the Vatican after the opening opening in St. Peter Square.

Carney was sitting in the second row with his wife, Diana, in the Mass, in a section between other world leaders and heads of state.

The Prime Minister, a religious Catholic, was one of the few world leaders who kneeled during the blessing of the Eucharist, and was monitored in two cases, taking a picture of the Pope on his phone to celebrate this occasion – before the bloc started and after it ended.

After the Mass, he met briefly in the Pope inside Bazilica, Saint Peter, alongside his wife and daughter Cleo.

Carney also met with other world leaders at the same time, adding to the list of growing official introductions during the weekend. He spoke with the prime ministers of Australia, Croatia and Ireland, as well as the heads of Israel and Nigeria.

Carney held a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Fredchich Mirz early Sunday before driving to the Vatican. He had similar meetings with the leaders of Italy, Ukraine and the European Union on Saturday.

Thirteen Kurdish deputies also attended the Mass, including Jaime Batist, who was part of a reception with Canadian Catholic Cardolic Saturday evening in Rome alongside the Prime Minister.

Nova Scotia’s deputy said he is looking to hear how the Pope puts the “tone” of how he was driving.

“It is similar to our copy of the speech from the throne as members of Parliament,” Batist told reporters outside the official residence in Canada.

Pope Liu – the first American to hold the title – called for unity in his sermon.

He said, “At this time, we still see a lot of disagreement, and many wars caused by hatred, violence, prejudice, fear of difference and economy that exploits the land resources,” he said.

The original population leaders have long called on the Vatican to return thousands of original artifacts taken from societies in Canada. The late Pope Francis expressed his willingness to restore artifacts in the colonial era at the Vatican Museum.

Batist said that the return of artifacts came in his meeting with the Cardinals, and their return was an important step towards reconciliation.

“I have always said that reconciliation is a journey, not a destination, and we all have steps to take this trip,” said Batist.

“I was proud to see our Prime Minister, he was talking about reconciliation between the original societies and the Catholic Church.”

The representative of Quebec Jean -Yves Ducklos is also part of the Canadian delegation to the Vatican.

He said that the church plays an important role in promoting peace between countries. Last week, Liu offered to host peace talks in the Vatican between Russia and Ukraine.

“We need more peace in this world, and I think we will hear more on the part of the Pope,” Dolkos told reporters.

“I think (hosting peace talks) is very important that the church can do. The church is not an armed state, it is a small country … with a lot of influence. To try to combine people, instead of dividing our humanity, is the right thing to do.”
