Vatican diplomat appeals for ratification of nuclear test ban treaty
-
-
VIENNA, Austria (CNS)
-- The community of nations has the ability and must find the courage to
rid the world of nuclear weapons, a Vatican diplomat said. Trying to
ensure peace by holding on to the threat of nuclear weapons "cannot be
the type of peace we seek for the 21st century," said Msgr. Pietro
Parolin, the Vatican's undersecretary for relations with states. The
diplomat represented the Vatican at the Sept. 3-5 meeting in Vienna of
the international conference on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban
Treaty. Msgr. Parolin told delegates that Pope John Paul II sent him to
Vienna "to renew his appeal for a common and generous effort for peace
and security." Global ratification and enforcement of a ban on testing
nuclear weapons would contribute to preventing the proliferation of
nuclear weapons and eventually to nuclear disarmament, which would
enhance international peace and security, he said.

Religion seen as a factor, but not the cause, of conflicts
in Asia
-
-
VATICAN CITY, SEPT.
4, 2003 - Religious differences can aggravate conflicts in Asia but are
not their primary cause, says a Vatican official just back from an
unprecedented interreligious meeting in the Philippines.
-
-
More than 100 Catholic bishops and other Christian leaders
and Muslim scholars ended the meeting in
Pasay City, in which
they analyzed the way believers can contribute to peace. Among the
participants representing 13 countries was Archbishop Michael
Fitzgerald, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious
Dialogue.
-
-
The initiative sprang from a Philippines-based dialogue
group composed of Catholic bishops, Protestant pastors and Muslim
scholars, or ulamas. The group particularly addressed the violence
fueled by radical Muslim groups on the
island of
Mindanao.

Exchange is a nonprofit 501 public charity. We rely on donations from

Specifically, Catholic Exchange is endeavoring to
evangelize the world via the Internet with the Good News of Jesus Christ
in the Catholic Church in obedience to Pope John Paul II's call for a
"Springtime of World Evangelization." This is in response to the need
for greater catechesis and revival of the lay faithful in a time when
materialism and relativism are marginalizing Biblical principles as the
basis on which people make moral choices.
