Two popes prayed together Friday at the Vatican, one Catholic and one Orthodox, in a sign of improving ties following the election of new leaders for both churches.

Pope Francis welcomed the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt, Pope Tawadros II, in the first such meeting at the Vatican in 40 years, saying his visit “strengthens the bonds of friendship and brotherhood” between the two churches.

The Coptic and Catholic churches split in the fifth century over theocratic differences.

Christians comprise about 10 percent of Egypt’s population. The Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt counts about 10 million faithful, while the Coptic Catholic Church in Egypt – whose faithful are loyal to Pope Francis – counts about 165,000.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reaped a gain of nearly $2.3 billion last year when he exercised 60 million stock options just before the online social networking leader’s initial public offering.

The windfall detailed in regulatory documents filed Friday saddled Zuckerberg, 28, with a massive tax bill. He raised the money to pay it by selling 30.2 million Facebook Inc. shares for $38 apiece, or $1.1 billion, in the IPO.

Facebook’s stock hasn’t closed above $38 since the IPO was completed last May. The shares gained 71 cents Friday to close at $26.85.

The 26-year-old Reuters editor allegedly behind the hacking of the Los Angeles Times website was not a hacker. He said so himself.

“I’m not a hacker,” Matthew Keys allegedly wrote in an online chatroom he shared with members of Anonymous. “I’m an ex-employee.”

Federal prosecutors charged last week that Keys used his access as a former employee of the Tribune Co. to help a hacker deface the website of the Los Angeles Times in 2010. The Tribune Co. owns the paper as well as the Sacramento TV station where Keys had worked until he was fired — two months before the hacking incident.
