ASIA/TURKEY - Turkish edition of the summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church in view of Pope Benedict’s visit next month

Friday, 27 October 2006

Roma (Agenzia Fides) - "I Believe" is the title of a Turkish edition of the summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church prepared by the aid agency of Pontifical right, Aid to the Church in Need, on the occasion of the visit which Pope Benedict XVI will make to Turkey in November for the feast of St Andrew. The initiative was announced at a meeting between ACN International Secretariat and Bishop Luigi Padovese, Vicar Apostolic for Anatolia. «The Pope - the Bishop said - is coming not as a missionary, as the local press continue to say, but to speak with Muslims, the government and naturally with the Catholics, but especially with Orthodox Christians”. The Vicar Apostolic for Anatolia underlined the importance of Pope Ratzinger’s “lecture” in Regensburg, which must be understood as a call to dialogue. (S.L.)
