Good relations with Islam, commitment to formation of the laity and working for justice and peace were the issues discussed by Benedict XVI in his address to the bishops of Sudan, who are in Rome on their ad limina visit.
The Pope stressed commitment to peace based on justice, accountability and charity. He said that efforts are needed to reduce ethnic tensions, corruption and indifference. The Holy Father added that as heralds of the Gospel, the bishops have sought to instill in their people and in society a sense of responsibility towards present and future generations, encouraging forgiveness, mutual acceptance and respect for commitments taken. He also said the bishops should engage in a “dialogue of life” with Muslims.
