Metropolitan of Volokolamsk refers to possible visit to Russia by Pope Francis
Hilarion, who is also the chairman of the Russian Church’s department of external relations and a permanent member of its Holy Synod, spoke during an interview to a Swiss news agency, as part of his visit to the country.
The Russian bishop clarified that, at present, there are no conditions set for such a visit, adding
“… This is not on the agenda of our bilateral relations. In our Church, many bishops, clerics and lay people are not ready for such a visit. We do not want our relations to be hurt by such sentiments. We prefer to gradually move ahead, without abrupt steps.”
