Vatican Rep Will be Present at King Charles III of England's Coronation | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis will send a representative to the coronation on Saturday of King Charles III in England. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See Secretary of State, will join world leaders and other dignitaries. Also, for the first time since the reformation in the 1500s, a Catholic prelate formally will participate in the coronation. Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster is expecting to give a blessing shortly after King Charles is crowned. Rome Correspondent for the National Catholic Register, Edward Pentin, is in England for the coronation. He joins to discuss how significant it is that Cardinal Nichols will give a formal blessing and what it might signal for future Catholic-Anglican relations. Pentin tells us more about Cardinal Nichols as he is heavily involved in promoting Christian unity. Apart from sending the Vatican Secretary of State, Pope Francis also donated a relic of the True Cross for the coronation. Pentin shares more about the Vatican outreach for this ceremony. Millions of people in the UK and around the world will be watching tomorrow. Pentin gives us a preview of the ceremony itself and in what ways it is influenced by the Catholic faith. He fills us in on what the mood is ahead of the coronation and what the expectations are for King Charles III as monarch. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
