Pope asks for "true dialogue between nations and between religious leaders"
On Amy Wellborn's blog "Open Book" she emphasizes the Pope's evocation of Cyril and Methodius today. As the Pope asks for a ecumenical dialogue between cultures and religions in Europe, we pray also that Europe will no longer suffer from the destructiveness of moral relativism but that God will revitalize and re-Christianize it and bring it back, once again, to its moral foundations:Open Book

Today in Rome...
The Pope evokes Cyril and Methodius, and says:
In an uncertain and turbulent world such as our own, Europe can become a witness and messenger of the vital dialogue between cultures and religions. The history of the old continent, deeply marked by divisions and fratricidal wars but also by efforts to overcome them, invites Europe to undertake this mission in order to respond to the hopes of so many men and women who still aspire, in many countries of the world, to development, democracy and religious freedom."
"The Holy See ... does not cease to act in order to promote ... true dialogue between nations and between religious leaders. In the first place, this must involve a diminution of violence which in our times is spreading dangerously, and the demolition of the walls of ignorance and mistrust which can engender violence."
