Pope Leo XIV named Papal Confrater of St George's Chapel, Windsor

Pope Leo XIV has accepted the title of Papal Confrater of St George's Chapel, Windsor, with King Charles III's approval, reciprocating the king's Royal Confrater title at St Paul's Outside the Walls in Rome. The announcement calls it the first time in half a millennium that the heads of the Catholic and Anglican traditions have received each other's religious titles, framed around Christian unity. It is a symbolic step in institutional ecumenism, and it shows how religious reconciliation is increasingly set against a polarised world, though it is not a doctrinal merger.
