A startling bit of news.
According to the AP, the Vatican had briefed the press to expect Leo to hold a “brief moment of silent prayer” at the Islamic place of worship known for its thousands of blue Iznik tiles. However, after being invited to pray by Imam Asgin Tunca in “Allah’s house”, the Pope politely declined. The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) reported that Leo replied: “No, I am just going to look around.”
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni later said: “The pope experienced his visit to the mosque in silence, in a spirit of contemplation and listening, with deep respect for the place and the faith of those who gather there in prayer.”...
Both Franny1 AND B-16 did pray at that mosque.
Hmmm.

Just let the Latin Mass flourish and appoint orthodox priest as Bishops please.
