Rev Steve Stockman and Fr Martin Magill were part of a delegation from Belfast which met the Pope at the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican.

They were invited in their role as organisers of an annual cross-community festival which is this year celebrating its 10th anniversary.

In January, Pope Francis sent a video message to the 4 Corners Festival.

He praised Fr Magill and Rev Stockman for building bridges between communities in Belfast and on Monday he met them in person for the first time.

In a blog written before the meeting at the Vatican, Rev Stockman, who is originally from Ballymena, wrote: "I have no doubts that many in my denomination and other Protestants will call me a heretic.

"From what I have read and heard about Pope Francis I see him as a fellow follower of Jesus.

"I am particularly drawn to his humility and efforts to live outside the ostentatious ways of the Vatican."

Also at the meeting in Rome was a delegation from the Catholic chaplaincy at Queen's University in Belfast, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
