STORYLINE:
A day after Francis’ physical departure, leaders of Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, and Evangelicals from his native Argentina pledged on Tuesday to deepen the interreligious dialogue that the first Latin American Pope so insistently promoted as a condition for global peace.
"Francis said that dialogue between religions is fundamentally for the common good and for the poorest," recalled the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Monsignor Jorge García Cuerva, at the beginning of the interreligious ceremony in the Cathedral of Buenos Aires.
Francis, the first Latin American Pope who died on Monday at the age of 88, was a persistent promoter of dialogue between different faiths as Bishop of Buenos Aires and sought to institutionalize it with the creation of the Institute for Interreligious Dialogue (IDI) two decades ago.
"Interreligious dialogue is a necessary condition for peace in the world," he insisted even as Pope.
Rabbi Daniel Goldman, a leading figure in the IDI, stated that "bidding farewell to a man of Pope Francis’s magnitude exceeds any word that can be said or written."
For his part, Sheikh Salim Delgado Dassum highlighted the Supreme Pontiff’s concern for the conflict in the Middle East, as demonstrated by "his daily calls to the Holy Family Parish in Gaza in recent months."
For the representative of the Protestant Evangelical Churches, "the life of Pope Francis has risen as an altar to God, he helped us, helps us, and will continue to help us believe in the goodness of God."
