教宗良十四世与英国国王查尔斯三世互授宗教头衔：500年来首次，教宗成温莎圣乔治学院教宗同仁
教宗良十四世与英国国王查尔斯三世已互授荣誉宗教头衔，为500年来首次。据 National Catholic Register 10月26日报道，英国王室官方网站10月23日公布的文本说，经国王欣然批准，Windsor 的主任牧师与法政牧师宣布，教宗良十四世已成为 Windsor 圣乔治礼拜堂圣乔治学院的教宗同仁（Papal Confrater）。一年前，查尔斯三世在对圣座进行国事访问时，已在罗马城外圣保禄大殿被接纳为王室同仁（royal confrater），当时教宗已获邀成为 Windsor 圣乔治学院的教宗同仁。
王室文本说，在日益两极分化与动荡的世界里，国王与教宗看重基督徒合一的价值，以基督徒手足之情相连，500年来首次互受宗教头衔，意在彰显罗马天主教会与英格兰教会之间相通而非分隔之处；这一举动是灵性交谊、普世合一友谊与基督徒手足情谊的可见标志。文本还提到圣乔治学院与圣座数百年的历史联系，以及天主教会、英格兰教会与普世圣公宗之间关系的进展。
为纪念这一同仁关系，两地各设一把特制座椅：国王的座椅已置于城外圣保禄大殿修士席旁，教宗的对应座椅将稍后在 Windsor 圣乔治礼拜堂揭幕，并将连同教宗在国事访问期间赠予国王的 Cefalù 基督马赛克圣像一并祝圣。2025年10月23日，教宗良十四世与查尔斯三世曾在西斯汀礼拜堂共同祈祷，为教宗与英国君主在对梵蒂冈国事访问期间首次共同祈祷；访问期间，国王向教宗授予巴斯勋章大十字骑士称号，教宗向国王授予庇护九世勋章项链大十字骑士称号、向 Camilla 王后授予同一勋章的女爵大十字称号。
Pope Leo XIV and King Charles III Exchange Religious Titles for First Time in 500 Years: Pope Becomes Papal Confrater at Windsor
Pope Leo XIV and King Charles III of England have bestowed honorary religious titles on each other, the first time this has happened in 500 years, according to reporting by the National Catholic Register on October 26 citing the official website of the British Royal Family. In a text published on October 23, the Dean and Canons of Windsor announced, with the gracious approval of the King, that Pope Leo XIV has become Papal Confrater of the College of St. George at St. George's Chapel, Windsor. A year earlier, during his historic state visit to the Holy See, King Charles III was received as a royal confrater of the papal basilica and abbey of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, and the Pope was at that time already invited to become a papal confrater of St. George's at Windsor.
The royal text said that, mindful of the value of Christian unity in an increasingly polarised and turbulent world, the King and the Pope have joined together in Christian brotherhood and, for the first time in half a millennium, are receiving religious titles which underscore what unites rather than what separates the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England. It called the gesture a visible sign of spiritual fellowship, ecumenical friendship and Christian fraternity, and noted the centuries-old relationship between the College and Chapel of St. George, Windsor, and the Holy See, as well as progress in relations between the Catholic Church, the Church of England and the Anglican Communion.
Specially commissioned chairs mark the confraternity: the King's chair already sits at St. Paul Outside the Walls, while a corresponding chair for the Pope will be unveiled in due course at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, alongside a mosaic icon of Christ of Cefalu gifted by the Pope to the King during the state visit. On October 23, 2025, Pope Leo XIV and King Charles III prayed together in the Sistine Chapel, the first time a pope and a British monarch prayed together during a state visit to the Vatican. During that visit the King conferred on the Pope the title of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, while the Pope bestowed on the King the honor of Knight Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of Pius IX and on Queen Camilla the distinction of Dame Grand Cross of the same order.
