Muslim World League and Pontifical Council sign an agreement to develop churches for christian citizens

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman met at his office at Al-Yamamah palace in Riyadh with the Chairman of the Pontifical Council for Interfaith Dialogue at the Vatican, Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran.

Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran says: "most of the time, extremism is provoked by injustice.”

Seen as an energetic promoter of dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and Islam, the latter also underscores: “I think we have two enemies: extremism and ignorance. I don’t believe in the clash of civilization but rather in the clash of ignorance. Most of the time people react because they don’t know who you are or who they are.”

For the first time in the country’s history, through the interfaith dialogue, it has signed a cooperative agreement with the Vatican to build churches for Christian citizens to support the significant role of religions and cultures in renouncing violence, extremism, terrorism and attaining global security and stability.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
