In a letter to the spiritual leader of Iraqi Shiites, the Pope recalled their meeting two years ago in Najaf describing it as “a milestone on the path of interreligious dialogue and understanding between peoples.” In the letter, published on Tuesday by the Holy See Press Office, the Pope commended the Grand Ayatollah for “his commitment to those who suffered persecution, preserving the sacredness of life and the importance of the unity of the Iraqi people.
Thus he said, it is the duty of religious leaders, “to encourage those with responsibilities in civil society to work to affirm a culture based on justice and peace, promoting political actions that protect the fundamental rights of each person.”“It is essential that the human family rediscover a sense of fraternity and mutual acceptance, as a concrete response to today's challenges,” the Pope continued.
