Pope Francis on June 23, 2018, stressed the importance of openness in interreligious dialogue.
His comments came in an audience at the Vatican with a delegation of the Emouna Fraternité Alumni Association. “You also witness, in a spirit of openness, the ability of religions to take part in public debate in a secularized society,” the Holy Father said. “You know, in fact, that true fraternity cannot be lived other than with this attitude of openness to others, which never seeks a conciliatory syncretism; on the contrary, it always seeks sincerely to enrich itself with differences, with the will to understand them in order to respect them better, because the good of each resides in the good of all.”
