An informal meeting was held in the offices of the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue between Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, President of the Dicastery, and the aforementioned Guest, during which it was reiterated that: religion and violence are incompatible; religions have moral resources capable of contributing to fraternity and peace; the phenomenon of fundamentalism, in particular when violent, is troubling and joint efforts are required to counter it. In addition, situations exist where freedom of conscience and of religion are not entirely respected and protected, so there is an urgent need to remedy this, renewing “religious discourse” and reviewing school books.
The parties agreed to establish a joint permanent committee in the near future.
