What's behind the pope's friendship with evangelicals?

From UCA-

Earlier this year, Pope Francis met with an old acquaintance named Tony Palmer. Palmer, who died tragically in a motorcycle accident last week, was a South African who lived in England. Married to a Catholic Italian, Palmer met the pope when he was a missionary in Argentina.   Palmer claimed the title “Anglican Bishop” but he was not a bishop in the established Church of England.
