Pope Leo XIV received the members of the Joint Committee of the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE) and the Conference of European Churches (CEC) on Thursday, November 6, 2025. This was a gathering of Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants as they came together at the Vatican for the signing of a new Ecumenical Charter, which was presented to the Pope.
For centuries, the Protestant churches of Europe stood as witnesses against the errors of Rome. Yet, in this moment, Protestant and Catholic leaders have signed a “joint statement” affirming a shared mission and “joint witness of Christianity.”
Vatican News published the following on November 6, 2025:
•, “Archbishop Grušas reflected on the significance of presenting the updated Charta to Pope Leo and called their time together ‘a blessing.’ ‘It’s not a theological note, but it is a joint statement,’ he clarified, ‘of how we as Christians, both Catholic and the rest of the Christians in Europe, see our joint witness of Christianity.” [1]
•, “Meanwhile, Archbishop Nikitas likewise reflected on presenting the Charter to the Pope with Archbishop Grušas: ‘It was an honor, a privilege, and a blessing,’ he noted, ‘to be, at this point in history and in time, able to give the Pope a message of hope, showing that we can work together and we can achieve things.” [1]
•, “It shows,’ the President of the Conference of European Churches marveled, that ‘we’ve come to overcome differences of the past. Those walls of separation have come tumbling down,’ he said, stating, ‘We now work together. We speak the same language, the language of Christ, the language of love.” [1]

Revelation 13:3 states that “all the world wondered after the beast.” This “wondering” signifies admiration, cooperation, and the gradual surrender to the leadership of the Papacy. Bible prophecy describes a global religious system that unites the nations of the earth under a single moral and spiritual head. This new Ecumenical Charter embodies that very movement—bringing together the major world religions under Rome’s leadership in the name of Christian love and cooperation.
Revelation 13:3 continues: “And his deadly wound was healed.” The signing of the Ecumenical Charter before the Pope is just another step in that healing process. Every agreement that recognizes Rome’s primacy or moral leadership contributes to restoring the influence that was once broken during the Reformation. Before the mark of the beast can be enforced, there must be a worldwide love, cooperation, and submission to the Papacy. The November 6, 2025 signing of the Ecumenical Charter is a significant shift and unmistakable sign that the religious world is moving toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
“The world is filled with storm and war and variance. Yet under one head—the papal power—the people will unite to oppose God in the person of His witnesses. This union is cemented by the great apostate” (Last Day Events, p. 131).
