What did Metropolitan Hilarion say to the Pope of Rome?

On April 29, 2023, Metropolitan Hilarion of Budapest and Hungary met with Pope Francis of Rome, who was on a pastoral visit to Hungary. The meeting took place at the Apostolic Nunciature and was also attended by Archbishop Michael Banach, the Apostolic Nuncio to Hungary. During the conversation, Metropolitan Hilarion told the Pontiff about the life of the Moscow Patriarchate’s Hungarian diocese, its social and educational activities, as well as its interaction with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Esztergom–Budapest and other Christian denominations. As a memento of the meeting, Metropolitan Hilarion presented Pope Francis with four volumes of his six-volume monograph “Jesus Christ: His Life and Teaching“, translated into Italian. ____ #orthodoxy #christianity #religion #metropolitanhilarion #popefrancis #hungary #news
