"God’s justice is his mercy", Pope Francis said at today's general audience (full video). Ecumenism is consistent with Orthodox tradition, according to a draft text on Christian unity to be discussed at this year's pan-Orthodox synod. China's foreign ministry has said it "noted" an interview in which Pope Francis sent greetings to President Xi Jinping. John Allen points out the "striking omission" in the Pope's interview about China. R Andrew Chesnut says Francis's trip to Mexico is "arguably the most important national tour" of his papacy. Fr George Rutler argues that the German Church suffers from an "Überlegenheitskomplex". And Tara Isabella Burton discusses travel writer Bruce Chatwin's "perfunctory flirtation with Catholicism".
