In Memoriam Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini

ICCJ | 03.09.2012

The ICCJ joins with the rest of the inter-religious dialogue community in mourning the passing of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, former Catholic Archbishop of Milan and a long-standing member of the Vatican's Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews.

Cardinal Martini served as rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, and, in that capacity, stressed the importance for Catholic students of going to Israel to study Hebrew and post-biblical Judaism. He was a pioneer of dialogue and mutual respect.May his memory be blessed.

L'Amicizia ebraico-cristiana di Roma rivolge un pensiero affettuoso e riconoscente al Cardinale Carlo Maria Martini, insigne biblista, raffinato teologo, pastore illuminato, maestro dell'ecumenismo, del dialogo ebraico-cristiano e del dialogo interreligioso.
Il Suo impegno per il dialogo ebraico-cristiano non sarà dimenticato e costituirà un insegnamento anche per le future generazioni. Sia il Suo ricordo in benedizione.
