Coptic Christian Pope: 'We Pray for the Churches of Rome and Ethiopia' "The Ethiopian Church is a sister of the Orthodox Church and we pray that God chooses righteous shepherd for the Church."
The Coptic Christian Pope spoke during his weekly sermon delivered at the papacy headquarters in Abbasiya, Cairo.
He also noted that he sent a letter of adoration to Pope Benedict XVI, given to the patriarch by Bishop Barnabas, the bishop of the Coptic Church in Rome.
Pope Tawadros II said, "We are proud of the Roman Pope, the dialogue and his love, wisdom and high theological stature, as well as his participation with us, the Eastern churches, in all occasions including the most recent ordainment last November."
