Learn from the past to bring peaceful future to Middle East, pope says

Pope Francis and Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria, patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church, right, release doves as they stand with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople outside the Basilica of St. Nicholas in Bari, Italy, July 7. The Pope was meeting with Christian leaders for an ecumenical day of prayer for peace in the Middle East.
