The church of Hagia Sophia was the preeminent monument of Christian architecture and an active church for almost a millennium until the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, when the clergy and people were slaughtered as they celebrated their last Liturgy.
On October 22, 1991, Patriarch Bartholomew was elected to the Ecumenical Throne.
On 21 October His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew was awarded an honorary doctorate in philosophy by the Pontifical Antonianum University in Rome during the ceremony for the solemn inauguration of the 2020–2021 academic year. The degree was conferred by Brother Michael Perry, Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor and Grand Chancellor of the University.
The Ecumenical Patriarch pointed out with satisfaction the photo that
Pope Francis has on his desk. It is a photograph of the two of them
that the pope has placed where he holds meetings with the highest
figures.

“Oggi vogliamo esprimerle gratitudine per il suo ispirato impegno a favore dell’ambiente. Quell’ambiente che, con occhi di fede, riconosciamo essere opera dell’onnipotenza di Dio, amico dell’umanità”.
“Bartolemo I è una figura emblematica per la questione ambientale, per l’ecologia integrale che rappresenta una priorità, in quanto attuale, nei pontifici atenei romani”.

Mark 15,25-32
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
The inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”
With him they crucified two revolutionaries, one on his right and one on
his left.
Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You
who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself
by coming down from the cross.”
Likewise the chief priests, with the scribes, mocked him among
themselves and said, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the
Messiah, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may
see and believe.”
Those who were crucified with him also kept abusing him.

Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity
The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity is united in prayer with the Ecumenical Patriarchate on the death on 16 October of His Eminence Metropolitan Gennadios, Orthodox Archbishop of Italy and Malta and Exarch of Southern Europe.
Sua Santità Bartolomeo I ha presieduto la preghiera nella Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere, cuore della Comunità di Sant'Egidio. La lunga amicizia con Bartolomeo I è ripercorsa nel saluto iniziale di Andrea Riccardi, che ha donato al patriarca ecumenico come augurio e segno di fraterna amicizia un mosaico che riproduce il Volto di Cristo che la Comunità venera nella chiesa di Sant'Egidio in un'antica icona.
