Pope calls for dialogue

Rome: Pope Benedict has invited leading Islamic authorities to discuss a letter they sent to Christian leaders last month urging a search for common moral ground. The pontiff’s formal reaction was made public as the Vatican published his latest encyclical, in which he said atheism had “led to the greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice.” Replying to Prince Ghazi of Jordan, who arranged for the letter to be sent to the Pope, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said Pope Benedict felt deep appreciation for the initiative, “for the positive spirit which inspired the text and for the call for a common commitment to promoting peace.” — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2007
