Congratulations Pope Francis

Pope Francis Elected 13 March 2013


The US Synod of the Congregational Episcopal Church would like to extend its prayers and congratulations to Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio being elected to Pope of the Roman Catholic Church.  As Pope Francis we pray that the division among Christians may be healed.  We stand behind Pope Francis in defending traditional family values, resisting abortion, and advancing the Gospels of Christ to the nations.  We wish to extend our prayer that Pope Francis be courageous in his preaching and be true to the foundation on which Christianity was founded - the Apostle Peter. 

May the Lord bless Pope Francis with clarity of vision and the splendor of truth.  We give our best wishes and prayers for his Papal mission.

In Christ, Bishop Peter Morimoto
Presiding Bishop US Synod of the Congregational Episcopal Church
