Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday morning met privately with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. During the talks, the two men elaborated on the challenges face by all Christian communities at the beginning of this millennium, and the need to encourage forms of collaboration and common witness when addressing them. They also spoke about recent events which have affected relations between the Catholic Church and Anglican Communion, and reaffirmed their common will to continue and strengthen ecumenical relations between Catholics and Anglicans. After his meeting with the Pope, Archbishop Williams spoke to Vatican Radio (about 11 1/2 minutes).
Dr. Williams: “I won’t go into the position of the [Anglican] communion” on non-celibate same sex unions “because the position is exactly the same as it was ten years ago.” The interviewer then presses him on this point.
