King Charles III and Pope Leo XIV will hold a historic ecumenical prayer service in the Sistine Chapel on October 23, marking the first time the heads of the Catholic Church and Church of England have prayed together since the Reformation in the 16th century. The service will focus on care for God's creation and is seen as a significant step towards unity between the two churches, which have been divided for centuries over issues including the ordination of female priests. The visit, originally scheduled for April, was postponed due to Pope Francis' illness and subsequent death. During the visit, Charles will be given a new title, 'Royal Confrater,' and recognition at a pontifical basilica with ties to the Church of England.
