April 19, 2010 | Hindus disappointed at Pope for not reaching out to minorities during Malta visit |
Nevada (US):Hindus find it a disappointment that there was reportedly no mention of any interfaith dialogue with non-Catholic religious leaders during Pope Benedict's two-ay 'Apostolic Journey to Malta' which ended April 18. Acclaimed Hindu statesman
Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it appeared that Catholic
Church in Malta was not serious to share minority viewpoint and discuss issues
of religious equality with minority religions/denominations, which was very sad.
He had earlier urged Malta Archbishop to organize the meeting of leaders of various
religions and denominations with His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI during this visit.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that as a dominating
majority in Malta, Catholics and Pope had a moral responsibility to take care
of minority brothers/sisters from different faith/denomination backgrounds. |
