Pope Francis demands interreligious dialogue for peace and unity

Pope Francis calls to combat violence and discrimination. In the recent interreligious "All Religions Conference" in the Vatican, he made it clear that all religions together have to proceed against the increasing culture of individualism, exclusion and indifference. The Pope emphasized that the dialogue between different faiths is essential to promote peace and sibling in an increasingly split world, such as KAP reported .

The Pope paid tribute to the Indian social reformer Sree Narayana Guru, who launched the interreligious conference 100 years ago, and reminded that all people, regardless of ethnicity or religion, are part of the same family of humanity. Francis warned to recognize and follow the core teachings of religions in order to tackle the growing intolerance and hatred, which prevents many of living in peace. This also includes the appeal to actively live the values of freedom and to rise against the injustice. He said: "The non-observance of the noble teachings of religions is one of the causes of the difficult situation in which the world is located today", says Vatican News .

peace message for the future

Francis emphasized the importance of interreligious dialogue and cooperation in order to promote a culture of respect and solidarity. He recalled that true religions should never propagate violence or hatred and asked all those responsible to work for the rights and freedoms of people who suffer from discrimination and persecution. This message has become more important, especially at a time of increasing violence and conflicts. "Let's fight for peace and justice," he concluded his speech and encouraged all the communities of faith to make their contribution to a better world.
