ISTANBUL (AP) — The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate says the spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians will attend the pope's inauguration Mass in Rome, the first such presence in nearly 1,000 years.
Anagnostopoulos says the decision to take part in the mass was "the fruit" of the growing dialogue between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches.
