The Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, recently praised Pope Leo for his powerful messages against global injustices, especially his criticism of the US-Israeli war on Iran. During her visit to Rome, Mullally emphasized the importance of hope and the need for unity in the face of societal challenges. Their meeting at the Apostolic Palace aimed to strengthen ties between the Anglican Church and the Vatican, which have been historically divided since the 1534 schism. Despite their shared Christian teachings, significant differences remain, particularly regarding the ordination of women, which the Catholic Church continues to reserve for men. Mullally, who previously worked as a nurse, expressed her commitment to fostering hospitality and understanding despite these differences. The meeting comes after King Charles made history by praying with Pope Leo, symbolizing a step towards reconciliation between the two churches. However, as noted by Vatican journalist Marco Politi, the Catholic Church remains the only major Christian denomination in the West that does not allow women to hold its highest offices.
