Unthinkable Before Amoris Laetitia – Leo XIV Received Divorced Remarried British Royals

Pope Leo XIV received today King Charles III and his concubine Camilla as if they were a couple. Her husband Andrew Parker Bowles was not invited.

The Pope, the King and their servants held an ecumenical prayer service in the Sistine Chapel. This is the first time that a British monarch and a pope have prayed together in the chapel since 855.

Charles attended as the King and as Head of a heretical group called 'Church of England'.

It is hard to ignore the fact that the Anglican Church split due to a British monarch's insistence on the right to divorce and remarry.

During the visit, Leo XIV and King Charles III declared themselves honorary brothers. These new titles symbolise closer ties, making Leo XIV a Papal Brother of St George's Chapel at Windsor and Charles III a Royal Confrater of St Paul Outside the Walls.

However, exchanging honorary titles and participating in a joint prayer service does not address the significant doctrinal differences between Catholicism and Anglicanism.

By way of contrast: In October 2001, Pope John Paul II granted a private audience to the Mexican president, Vicente Fox, and his concubine Martha Sahagún, who were both divorced Catholics. They were, however, received separately.
