______________________________________ Dorian Jones has details: "On the final day of his visit to Turkey, Pope Francis celebrated Saint Andrew's Day at the Patriarchal Church of St. George in Istanbul. The pope sat opposite Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who heads the 250 million strong Orthodox Church. The two leaders signed a joint declaration to prevent Christianity from being driven out the region. The pope met with Christian refugees during his time in Istanbul. Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew say that persecution is giving added impetus to their reunification efforts. During a homily to the Orthodox faithful, the pope said his goal is full unity, but he said such unity would not mean assimilation or a loss of their traditions.
