JUST IN: The Coptic Orthodox Church has resumed dialogue with the Holy See after Leo XIV reassured Pope Tawadros II that same-sex couples would not be blessed.

The Copts broke dialogue in March 2024 citing Fiducia Supplicans.

They write today:“The members of the Holy Synod decided to resume theological dialogue with the Catholic Church following the assurances regarding the non-blessing of same-sex couples, which were expressed during the telephone conversation between His Holiness Pope Tawadros II and His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on Friday, May 15 of this year.”
