CARDINAL TAURAN AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE KAICIID
Vatican City, 27 November 2012 (VIS) - Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president
of the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue, gave an address at the
inaugural ceremony of the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Centre for
Inter-religious and
Inter-cultural Dialogue (KAICIID) in Vienna, Austria, yesterday. The centre is
an independent organisation, recognised by the United Nations and founded by
Saudi Arabia, Austria and Spain, to which the Holy See adheres in the role of
Founding Observer.
"It is my privilege to bring to this assembly the greetings of His Holiness
Pope Benedict XVI, as well as his prayerful wishes for the success of the
activity of this Dialogue Centre", said Cardinal Tauran.
"We are being watched", he continued. "Everyone is expecting from the
initiative of His Majesty King Abdullah, supported by the governments of
Austria and Spain, with the assistance of the Holy See as founding observer,
honesty, vision and credibility.
"This Centre presents another opportunity for open dialogue on many issues,
including those related to fundamental human rights, in particular religious
freedom in all its aspects, for everybody, for every community, everywhere. In
this regard, you will
understand that the Holy See is particularly attentive to the fate of
Christian communities in countries where such a freedom is not adequately
guaranteed. Information, new initiatives, aspirations, and perhaps also
failures will be brought to our
attention. It then will be the task of the centre - and when possible with the
cooperation of other organisations - to verify their authenticity and to act
consequently, in order that our contemporaries not be deprived of the light
and the resources
that religion offers for the happiness of every human being.
"Believers have to work for and to support all that favours the human person
in his material, moral and religious aspirations. So three attitudes are
required: respect of the other in his/her specificity; mutual objective
knowledge of the religious
tradition of each other, particularly through education; and collaboration in
order that our pilgrimage towards the Truth be realised in freedom and
serenity.
"Concluding and quoting Pope Benedict XVI, I would like to assure you of the
cooperation of the Catholic Church: 'By her presence, her prayer and her
various works of mercy, especially in education and health care, she wishes to
give her best to
everyone. She wants to be close to those who are in need, near to those who
search for God'.
"It is in this spirit of brotherhood and friendship that we have to work!",
the cardinal concluded.
