Dialogue with Islam should bring respect, freedom says pope

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 28 - Pope Francis said Wednesday that dialogue between Christians and Muslims should lead to respect for life and freedom. "The dialogue that we need cannot fail to be open and respectful and then be fruitful," the pope said during an inter-religious gathering. "Reciprocal respect is the condition, and at the same time it is the aim, of inter-religious dialogue - respect of others' right to life, to physical health, to fundamental freedoms i.e. freedom of conscience, of thought, of expression and of religion". http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
