Vatican Cardinal: In a Globalized World, ‘There Are No Borders'
"after all, Il Papa is a Communist too" "What we hope is that this openness continues, that this long process continues, because in a globalized world, there are no differences, there are no borders," said Cardinal Miguel Angel Ayuso Guixot. What the Vatican hopes for is "an openness that allows us to make a step forward." During a round table with journalists Friday, the Spanish cardinal said that interreligious dialogue, including with non-believers, is needed now more than ever "because it favors processes of peace" and facilitates common solutions to problems such as poverty, war, climate change, migration, and human trafficking. This dialogue is not simplistic or superficial, and it must be done with mutual respect, openness, and without fear, he said, calling it a path "of awareness, sharing, and collaboration" that involves "making concrete steps together with members of other religions and with other people," Crux reported in its coverage of the event. "Everyone is called, in our difficult time, to be messengers of peace, artisans of communion," he said, insisting the present moment must be "a time of fraternity." On February 4, Pope Francis celebrated the U.N.’s first International Day of Human Fraternity together with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-03-29 |
