This was the message of Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli, papal nuncio to India, during the start of the plenary assembly of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) last week.
The prelate urged India’s bishops to take steps to promote inter-religious dialogue and promote relations among people to foster a culture of peace.
In his address, Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão, CCBI president, said the pandemic “was an opportunity to prepare our collective future.”
