The Coptic Orthodox Church has resumed theological dialogue with the Catholic Church after Pope Leo XIV reportedly assured Patriarch Tawadros II that same-sex couples would not receive formal blessings, reversing a break triggered by Pope Francis' 2024 declaration Fiducia Supplicans. This development signals accelerating ecumenical pressure to forge visible Christian unity — even at the cost of doctrinal clarity on sexual morality — a hallmark of the end-times religious system Scripture warns will prioritise false peace over truth. The Bible warns of a coming global religious consolidation built on compromise rather than Christ, as foreshadowed in Revelation 17 and Paul's warning in 2 Timothy 4:3 that people will 'not endure sound doctrine.'
