Looking back on #PopeFrancis’ meetings with #Putin

#Putin has visited the #Vatican six times, more than almost any other political leader. He met with Pope Benedict XVI in 2007 and with Pope John Paul II in 2000, and 2003. 👉More info: Pope Francis met with Vladimir Putin for the first time eight months into his papacy in November 2013. Their meeting came just one month after both Russia and the Holy See had called on the United States not to take military action in the conflict in Syria. There, Putin, a Russian Orthodox, gave the Pope an icon of Our Lady of Tenderness. 🔔 Subscribe to our channel, and activate notifications: 📱 The... Rome Reports app is now available!
