Pope urges new advances in interreligious dialogue

VATICAN CITY

As controversy simmered over a recent Vatican document on the Catholic Church's universal role in salvation, Pope John Paul II urged new steps in the church's dialogue with other religions. "At the beginning of the new millennium, we shouldn't slow our steps (in interreligious dialogue). If anything, we should promote acceleration along this promising path," the pope said in a message released Sept. 26. He said that while dialogue should not ignore real differences between religions, "it does not cancel the common condition of being pilgrims" in search of transcendent realities. Such dialogue is marked by a "friendship that does not separate and does not confuse," he added.
