full title: Turkey’s Erdogan to meet with Pope, thank him for opposing Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The United States’ controversial recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is expected to dominate talks between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Pope Francis on the president’s first trip to the Vatican on Sunday.
According to presidential sources, Erdoğan will thank Pope Francis for his stance against U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision and his efforts to protect the status quo in the holy city.
The Turkish president previously expressed his appreciation to Pope Francis who strongly opposed the bitterly-contested move announced by Trump at the end of last year. The two leaders held several phone calls regarding the issue and voiced their determination to follow developments regarding Jerusalem.
The current humanitarian crisis in Syria, regional developments, terror, cooperation against Islamophobia and xenophobia are also among the topics which the two leaders are set to discuss during their meeting.
The Argentine pope met Erdoğan during his trip to Turkey in November 2014 as the first world leader to visit the Turkish presidential complex in Ankara. The return visit will be the first by a Turkish president since 1959.
Francis has repeatedly praised Turkey’s efforts to welcome Syrian refugees and has said the country could be a “great peacemaker.”

Good for you!
Is the church going to get rid of the anti-pope before everyone figures out he is Lucifers puppet?
The diff between the Pope and Erdogan is that Erdogen knows he’s not a Catholic.
Isn’t that Ribbentrop shaking Stalin’s hand?
Shaking hands to take Poland.......
Both of them knew how to pope.
We’re busy drinking.
The Cardinals Chose Poorly
No it’s Ron Vibbentrop...
“You’ve got the wrong map you silly leg-before-wicket English person.”
Israel decides where its capitol is.
Birds of a feather.
Leftists love fascists.
What business does the pope having getting involved in politics. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.
This Pope sucks. Always.
So the Pope is going to officially approve terrorism.
The so-called pope know he’s not Catholic as well. He sold out a long time ago.
A supposedly Catholic church a few blocks away has a banner out front of bergoglio releasing some doves into the air which says “Pray for Peace”. Vandalized by security photographed islamists some months ago, it wouldn’t surprise me if this ‘church’ starts hosting butts-up services in there before long.
He hung veddy good, too.
