BENEDICT XVI: TO THE 138 MUSLIM LEADERS, "DIALOGUE BASED ON RESPECT AND MUTUAL KNOWLEDGE" (2)

” “"On recalling the contents of his encyclical, "Deus Caritas Est" – it is further written in the answer signed by the cardinal secretary of State, – His Holiness focussed on the fact that the letter drew special attention to the double commandment of loving God and the neighbour". On confirming the importance of "basing dialogue on respect for the dignity of every human person; on the objective knowledge of the religion of the other; on sharing religious experience; and, finally, on common commitment, and on letting young people understand the importance of mutual respect and acceptance", Benedict XVI said to be ready to receive Prince Ghazi "and a delegation of the signers of the letter", and hinted at the opportunity of "a work meeting of the delegation and the Papal Council for interreligious dialogue, in collaboration with some specialized Papal Institutes".” “
