Pope Francis’s visit to Sumuleu Ciuc (Csíksomlyó), Romania is believed to be a “historic opportunity” for the region’s nations to come together and make peace with one another.
Even though Pope John Paul II was to Romania twenty years ago, this is the first time that a Holy See actually visits the Hungarian Catholic community in Transylvania. The Hungarian Catholics have constantly been inviting the Holy Fathers to come to Transylvania, as the majority of the Catholic believers in Romania live there.
