” “Hebraism, Christianity and Islam are religions “called to cooperate with each other and for the common good of man, serving the cause of justice and peace in the world”. The invitation to the three monotheistic religions to “build bridges of understanding through all barriers” was given today by the Pope, as he received in audience the members of the US Jewish Committee. “Judaism, Christianity and Islam recalled Benedict XVI believe in one God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. Hence, all of the three monotheistic religions are called to cooperate with each other and for the common good of men, serving the cause of justice and peace in the world”. A task, this one, which, according to the Pope, is “particularly important today, when special attention must be paid to educating to the respect of God, religions and their symbols, and of all the sacred places and places of worship”. “Religious leaders are responsible for working together for reconciliation through veritable dialogue and acts of human solidarity”, warned the Holy Father, as he invited the three religions to “build bridges of reconciliation through all barriers”. In the first part of his address, Benedict XVI recalled the 40th anniversary of the council declaration, “Nostra Aetate”, which “increased our common desire he said to get to know each other better”.
