Pope Francis called on Friday for healing during an outdoor Mass in Cyprus within sight of a huge Turkish Cypriot flag on a mountainside on the other side of a line that has divided the island for nearly half a century.
Francis began his first full day in Cyprus at a meeting with leaders of the Orthodox Church, the biggest Christian community on the island. There, Francis again expressedbetween the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity, which have been split since 1054.
"Healing takes place when we carry our pain together, when we face our problems together, when we listen and speak to one another," Francis said. Shortly after the pope arrived on Thursday, the leader of the self-styled Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus invited Francis "with my most sincere feelings" to visit his side of the island too.
