The meeting between heads the two major Christian churches would be an unprecedented move to mend a millennium-long rift between the Western and Eastern branches of the religion, which started with the Great Schism of 1054.
Persecution of Christians in the modern world is the main issue for the two leaders to discuss, the Russian Orthodox Church said. Christians are among the minorities suffering at the hands of groups adhering to radical Islamist ideology in places like Iraq, Syria and Somalia.
In addition to Cuba, Patriarch Kirill's Latin American tour from February 11-22 includes Paraguay, Chile and Brazil. The meeting with Pope Francis will happen on February 12.
The pontiff will make a stop in Cuba on his way to Mexico.
For the Russian Orthodox Church the meeting will be the biggest foreign affairs event since reuniting in 2007 with the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia after a 90-year split.

This time lets put politics aside for a moment. What in the Lord'sname is going on. These fake Chrstians do the exact opposite of what our Lord teaches while preaching his words. They pretend to listen to the voice of the people while really following their own and that of their father the foolish one. There is no religion so okay now bring politics back because that is all you have. Political Movements.
God is good. Anything contrary to that fact is not good and thus not from God.
