In a letter addressed to His Holiness Pope Francis I, His Holiness
Catholicos Aram I congratulated the election of the Pope "with profound
spiritual joy and in the spirit of Christian love and fellowship",
expressing hope that "at these challenging times, facing the Roman
Catholic Church, his election will bring a new hope towards the
Church's mission and witness".
Aram I also hopes that "the simplicity of His Holiness' life", his
"particular emphasis on the 'church of poor', and firm commitment
to the pastoral outreach of the church will certainly generate a new
vitality for the Catholic Church's evangelistic engagement."
Referring to the ecumenical involvement of the Catholic Church, Aram
I expects that it will "acquire even broader articulation on global,
regional and local levels", and the ecumenical collaboration, which
is deeply rooted in the history, between the Armenian Catholicosate
of Cilicia and the Church of Rome will continue "with renewed impetus".
