We are saddened to learn of the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, who throughout his life promoted dialogue and mutual respect among religious people, especially between Muslims and Christians. In the spirit of the message of Jesus (peace be upon him) of humility and standing by the weak, he advocated for social justice, the rights, and dignity of all people, especially the poor, the marginalized, and refugees. He spoke and wrote passionately about our collective responsibility of protecting our common home, the Earth.
It is our wish that Pope Francis’ legacy will be carried to life in the form of a more advanced level of dialogue and joint service to world peace among the followers of all religions and traditions in the world, especially the Abrahamic religions.
We send our heartfelt condolences to the entire Catholic world and all those who have been touched by his message of compassion, peace, and human fraternity.
