In Pope Benedict XVI's last book, "What is Christianity? The Last Writings," readers can hear Benedict's perspective as if he were speaking from beyond the grave. It touches upon various themes including missionary work, tolerance and the dialogue with Islam, Christian liturgy, the meaning of faith, the priesthood, the meaning of communion as well as the sexual abuse scandal. Reviewer Ryan Patrick Budd writes, "If there is a discernible thread running through this collection, it is 'faith is not an idea, but a life.'"

Many who work for religious understanding between Muslims, Christians, and Jews use the biblical figure of Abraham as a point of commonality. Harvard Divinity School's Jon Levenson, PhD ’75 unpacks how the figure and his story mean very different things to adherents of the three traditions distinguishing them from one another as much as it binds them. 🎙️ Listen to the full episode: https://buff.ly/3VJELG7

"No! We can never resign ourselves to the pain of entire peoples, hostages of war, misery, and exploitation. The path of Assisi, in the years following 1986, has been an act of trust in prayer and dialogue for peace.” "Especially in these months," I had said, "we feel that the world needs the spirit that animated that historic meeting.  Why? ... This path has gathered individuals from different religious perspectives; it has journeyed to various places around the world. The “Spirit of Assisi” in the practice of dialogue and friendship has formed men and women of peace from different religions, long distant or hostile for centuries. The path followed “each year suggests the way: the courage of dialogue”: Religious leaders are called to be true “dialoguers,” to act toward building peace not as intermediaries, but as authentic mediators. Each of us is called to be an artisan of peace, uniting and not dividing, extinguishing hatred and not preserving it, opening paths for dialogue and not erecting new walls! There is the need to dialogue, meeting to establish a culture of dialogue and a culture of encounter in the world. Along this path, religious worlds have come closer together. Although areas and situations of fundamentalism persist, which are concerning, in the 21st Century, a profound change has occurred in the relationship between believers of different religions, who have begun to consider dialogue as decisive. I think, in particular,  of the Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together https://lnkd.in/dM7SfBJB , which I signed with the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, in 2019. Pope Francis pens the preface to Andrea Riccardi’s new book 'Words of Peace. This book, “Words of Peace,” testifies to the long journey that unfolds from the Interreligious Peace Meeting in Assisi in 1986, that was initiated by Saint Pope John Paul II, through the present.

OH WONDERFUL DAY!!! It’s time for another installment of Taking Down the Modernists with Pope St. Pius X and his most excellent encyclical, PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS. Today, it’s a continuation of the Deformation of Religious History: “Then faith, attracted by the Unknowable which is united with the phenomenon, possesses itself of the whole phenomenon, and, as it were, permeates it with its own life. From this two things follow. The first is a sort of transfiguration of the phenomenon, by its elevation above its own true conditions, by which it becomes more adapted to that form of the divine which faith will infuse into it. The second is a kind of disfigurement, which springs from the fact that faith, which has made the phenomenon independent of the circumstances of place and time, attributes to it qualities which it has not; and this is true particularly of the phenomena of the past, and the older they are, the truer it is. From these two principles the Modernists deduce two laws, which, when united with a third which they have already got from agnosticism, constitute the foundation of historical criticism.” #Catholic #ChristisKing #Jesus

In this fragmented world, ancient religious traditions re-emerge and intersect with modernity; faiths may anchor people amidst their uncertainties, but they can also reignite combative, tribal instincts. That's why the ‘Shared Space’ seeks to develop a better understanding of the principles and practices that sustain plural spaces of encounter. These encounters are fundamental for drawing together different religious ways of thinking and being that lay the foundations for a robust civil society. Through building bridges across faiths, communities, countries and sectors we foster collaborations for inclusive dialogue that generate practical solutions.
