Pope Leo XIV is to receive the Anglican Primate, Sarah Mullally, in Rome next month, in a visit scheduled to take place from April 25 to 28, in what will be the first meeting between the two since her installation as Archbishop of Canterbury.
The encounter follows a personal message sent by the Pope to Mullally after her installation on March 25, when she was formally seated on St Augustine’s chair at Canterbury Cathedral by the Dean of Canterbury, David Monteith. In his letter, dated March 20 and issued from the Vatican, the Pope extended “prayerful greetings” and acknowledged the weight of the office she has assumed within the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion.
