Cardinal Tauran on Pope's Assisi visit
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
will travel to Assisi on Tuesday, to participate in the concluding day of the
World Day of Prayer for Peace event, organised by the Sant’Egidio Community.
The theme for this year is “Thirst for Peace. Religions and Cultures in
Dialogue.”
The President of the
Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran
spoke to Vatican Radio’s Oliver Bonnel about the Pope’s visit and the
impact of the spirit of Assisi.
The Cardinal says that a
message of “fraternity and peace will be at the heart of the visit", and
goes on to say that dialogue is the unique means in which to promote justice
and peace.
Asked about how the the
spirit of Assisi can have an impact on political leaders today, Cardinal Tauran
answers by saying, "I think what is important is to improve that
religions are not a danger but that it’s a richness for society because
unfortunately now when you speak about religions you think of war of
persecution.”
