| Résumé : |
It is appropriate that the first volume in this new series of interreligious documents is on relations between Christians and Muslims. Together they comprise the world's most populous religious traditions. The many occasions of theirgood relations have often been eclipsed by memories of rivalry, war and confrontation; and today in Africa, Asia, Europe, and America Christians and Muslims are in broader contact than at any other time in history.
Addressing thousands of Muslim youths in Casablanca on August 19, 1985, Pope John Paul II exclaimed: "The dialogue between Christians and Muslims is more necessary than ever today." Himself an example of a wil lingness for dialogue, this pope addressed twenty-two Muslim groups during the first ten years of his pontificate. Speaking on October 10,1989, to religious leaders of Indonesia, the nation with the largest Islamic population, the Holy Father expounded on the impulse for dialogue: "First, knowledge of (he truth commits us to share the gift we have received with others...The Catholic Church is profoundly convinced that the truth, wherever it is found, can serve as a path to the one God, the Father of all. For this reason, she rejects nothing.which is true and holy in other religions.,.Respectful dialogue with others also enables us to be enriched by their insights, challenged by their questions and impelled to deepen our knowledge of the truth." These Guidelines for Dialogue between Christians and Muslims were prepared on behalf of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue to aid Christians in forming relationships with Muslims. Inaugurated by Pope Paul VI in 1964 as the Secretariat for Non-Christians, this office of the Holy See issued its first edition of these guidelines in 1970. To assist dialogue with Muslims, Pope Paul VI established a special Commission for Religious Relations with Muslims in 1974. After numerous meetings and dialogues with Muslims and through consultations with advisors and specialists, a need was felt to revise, correct, and expand the guidelines. This was accomplished by Fr. Maurice Borrmans who has prepared this edition for the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. |
