Pope John Paul II's Historic Romania Visit

May 7th, 1999 25 years ago

Pope John Paul II traveled to Romania, marking a significant milestone as he became the first pope to visit a predominantly Eastern Orthodox country since the Great Schism in 1054. The visit was aimed at fostering dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox churches, promoting reconciliation and unity among Christians. It included meetings with Orthodox leaders and a large open-air Mass in Bucharest, attended by thousands. The trip was a gesture of goodwill and an effort to bridge historical divides.
