Angela Merkel, the three-term German Chancellor, met with Pope Francis for 40 minutes in a meeting behind closed doors.
The meeting with the pope was Merkel’s sixth. The Vatican said they spoke about “the upcoming G20 meeting in Hamburg, the responsibility of the international community in combating poverty and hunger, the global threat of terrorism, and climate change.”
Mrs. Merkel said the idea is to boost multilateral collaboration and tear down walls instead of building them.
Angela Merkel was returning from a tour in Latin America, which also included a stop in Argentina. Merkel was accompanied by her husband.
Before saying farewell, the pope expressed his condolences for the death of Helmut Kohl, one of the driving forces of Germany’s reunification and Europe’s construction.
Germany is key to the resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire which the European Union is attempting to achieve. The aim is to place the Vatican on the throne of Europe once again.
Germany wonders after… See Revelation 13:3.
