Pope Francis does not accept Cardinal Koch’s resignation: could continue at least until anniversary of Council of Nicea

Koch has served as the head of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Christian Unity since 2010, overseeing the Vatican’s efforts to foster dialogue and collaboration among Christian denominations. His extended tenure suggests that Francis values continuity in the Church’s ecumenical work at a time when unity is both a theological and practical challenge.

This is what the visit of the King and Queen of England to Pope Francis in April 2025 will be like

Scheduled from April 7 to 10, the royal visit will focus primarily on the Vatican and the Catholic Church’s for the 2025 Jubilee Year. It also comes at a time when Pope Francis, having recently left the hospital on March 23, is under medical orders to rest for two months. The possibility of an in-person meeting remains open, though it will likely depend on the Pope’s health.
