Vatican City, 26 June 2013 (VIS) – Pope Francis, through Cardinal
Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone, S.D.B., sent a telegram of condolence
yesterday to the family of Senator Emilio Colombo, who died this past Monday
in Rome. He was 93 years

The text recalls that the politician was “a devout Catholic, an
important figure in the Italian Republic, an outstanding man who, in his
public roles, knew how to act with generous commitment to promote the common
good.” The Pope
entrusted Senator Colombo's soul to the maternal protection of the Virgin Mary
and imparted the Apostolic Blessing upon all his family members and all those
who are taking part in his funeral rites.

CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS UNITED FOR PEACE AND PROSPERITY
Vatican City, 26 June 2013 (VIS) - The Islamic-Catholic Liaison Committee
held its 19th meeting in Rome on 18 – 19 June 2013, corresponding to 9
– 10 Shaban 9, 1434. The assembly was presided over—for the
Catholic side—by
Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for
Interreligious Dialogue, and—for the Muslim side—by Dr Hamid bin
Ahmad Al-Rifaie, president of the International Islamic Forum for Dialogue.
The theme of the meeting was: “Believers Confronting Materialism and
Secularism in Society”. After listening to the papers presented by
Catholic and Muslim scholars and exchanging views about the above mentioned
theme, the participants
agreed upon the following: that Christianity and Islam affirm the
inseparability and complementarity between the material and the spiritual
domains and that our responsibility as believers is to reconcile these
dimensions of life; that many people today
suffer from the loss of spiritual and religious roots, a phenomenon that
weakens both the inner and moral dimensions of individuals and societies; and
that the world today is facing many kinds of crises. Our common responsibility
as believers in God is
to do all that is possible to protect vulnerable people at this time.
Pope Francis received participants in the meeting in audience, encouraging
them to continue their efforts on the path of “respectful and fruitful
dialogue between believers for the peace and prosperity of our w
rld”.
The violence in Syria was also strongly condemned in the meeting and an
appeal was made to the regional and international organizations to do
everything possible to stop the bloodshed, according to International Law.
The Committee will hold its next meeting in Tatwan, Morocco. It will be
preceded by a preparatory event to be organized by the Muslim side.
