<video:title>Inter Faith Dialogue - Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald - Part 1</video:title>
<video:description><![CDATA[On 22nd February 2025, in order to mark the sixtieth anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the document on inter-religious dialogue of the Second Vatican Council, Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald gave a talk at Gidea Park entitled ‘Inter Faith Dialogue’. The Cardinal has been involved in this work for decades. A priest of the White Fathers (Missionaries of Africa), ordained in 1961, he learnt Arabic first in North Africa, and subsequently led the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies. He was secretary and then prefect of the Vatican body responsible for promoting dialogue, established by Pope Paul VI in 1964 even before Nostra Aetate was issued. The initial intention of the document was to improve relations with the Jews, but debate in the Council led to the encouragement of good relations with Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and other faiths. One of the most effective means of initiating dialogue was to offer messages to faith groups for their feasts, messages which should be taken and delivered personally. Visits and the sharing of food are a way to break down barriers. Cardinal Michael gave an account of the contribution of Pope Francis through his friendships with religious leaders. His links with the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, Ahmad al-Tayyeb led to the launch of the Document on Human Fraternity (4 February 2019). On his visit to Iraq in March 2021 he made a point of visiting the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Dialogue with Jewish religious leaders is difficult due to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

What Good News - Gospel Resources
The Christian message is good news. That is essentially what ‘gospel’ means. Our reaction as believers to the message of Jesus, and that of millions of people throughout the last two thousand years, has been one of gratitude. With the apostle Paul we pray: ‘May the word of Christ in all its richness find a home in you.’ (Colos]]></video:description>
