"We believe said His Holiness Aram I that a divided Church cannot credibly and effectively bring the Gospel in the world. A united voice and a joint testimony of the Churches in the world is Christ’s call, an imperative that is now more urgent than ever". In particular, the Catholicos pointed out that "our Churches must not be indifferent to the increasing decay of the ethical and spiritual values, to the marginalisation of the Christian traditions, as well as the distortion of the Christian identity". According to the Papal Council for the Promotion of the Unity of Christians, the Armenian delegation after the audience with the Pope will lunch with him. Tomorrow morning, at 9 am, the delegation will be received in the premises of the Papal Council and will meet card. Walter Kasper. At 11 am, the Catholicos Aram I will give a lecture at Università Urbaniana about the "Challenges of Christian faith in the Middle East". In the evening, the delegation will attend the Vespers in the Basilica di San Bartolomeo at Isola tiberina, the memorial of the martyrs of the twentieth century, then it will take part in a meeting of prayer with the Comunità di Sant’Egidio in Santa Maria in Trastevere. On Wednesday, they have planned to attend the general audience, and at 5 pm the Catholicas will give a press conference at the Vatican Radio Station.
