Meanwhile, from Jerusalem, Israeli rabbi David Rosen, a leading figure in the dialogue with the Catholic Church, told “Asia News”:
“The visit by Pope Francis is linked to the Declaration on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi two years ago. I am happy about this gesture and I hope it will bear fruit. From my perspective, however, I also hope that this path will further expand, because at present, it is still an initiative only between Christians and Muslims. I am happy that it now involves the whole Islamic world. Still, it would also be important for the recognition of fraternity include an official Jewish representative. This is not only because of the deep bond that exists with Christianity, but also because of what it would mean for Islam. Until we don’t get one, a declaration on fraternity will lay open to the risk of being misinterpreted.”
How acceptable is this opinion?
