    50 YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE Rev.Fr. Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, Secretary Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue 19 May 2014 Your Eminences, Excellencies, Honoured Guests and dear Friends, It is a privilege for me to present to you some important parts of the history of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, now in its milestone of fifty years and of which I am the Secretary for almost the past two years now. It is a pleasure to share with you this journey of half a century years which is certainly not that long in the two thousand year history of the Catholic Church but at the same time is rich in its significance. In my opinion, this period witnessed the opening of, to use a word so dear to Pope Francis, mercy with which the Church has protected and continues protecting the life of this world. The Vatican II Council, in asking us to listen to a rapidly changing world, called for adequate responses, making use of appropriate means, to witness to the Gospel of Jesus so that it reaches even those frontiers that seem insurmountable and more complicated: i.e. in the hearts of men and women who practise other religions in their friendly encounters with others and that is dialogue. First of all, I apologize for this extremely brief and incomplete account of the fifty years of service to interreligious dialogue. However, I hope to be able to give at least an idea of the work done in this respect all these years. I would like to recount, quickly, thus not exhaustively, some salient lived moments of the history of this Dicastery, thanks to all who beginning with the Presidents have worked hard to make manifest the will expressed by the Church to enter into dialogue with the believers of other religious traditions.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The audio recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Bishop John S.

    SERVING THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN THE COUNTIES OF BR6WARD, COLLIER, DADE, GLADES, HENDRY, MARTIN, MONROE AND PALM BEACH Volume XXI Number 18 July 13, 1979 Price 25c Ecumenical Unit is Established (•See Editorial, page 6) An Ecumenical Planning Commission has been established by Archbishop McCarthy for the Archdiocese of Miami and will be an integral part of the program of Evangelization presently underway. THE COMMISSION'S immediate goal is to in- vestigate what are the Ecumenical dimensions in South Florida in the light of the Archdiocesan program of evangelization. This goal will include an evaluation of present Ecumenical efforts and contacts with other Christians and non-Christians, both on an Archdiocesan and parish level. The Commission will aim at coordinating present Ecumenical contacts and programs within the overall Arch- diocesan evangelizing effort. Stress will be laid less on structure and more on dialogue and cooperation with other Christians and non-Christians — in relation to the moral and civic problems which face the community at large. The Commission is also given the task of eventually producing Ecumenical guidelines- to assist parishes and Archdiocesan organizations in furthering dialogue and cooperation. Members of the initial planning commission are: Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy. Auxiliary Bishop Agustin A. Roman, V.G., Vicar for the Spanish-speaking. Msgr. Bryan O. Walsh, Archdiocesan Director of Catholic Charities and Social Services. Rev. Gerald Grace, Professor at St. Vincent de Paul Major Seminary, Boynton Beach. Rev.

  • Archbishop Jadot, Former Papal Delegate in US, Dies in Belgium
    Archbishop Jadot, former papal delegate in US, dies in Belgium BRUSSELS, Belgium – Retired Belgian Archbishop Jean Jadot, former apostolic delegate in the United States, died Jan. 21 at his home in Brussels. He was 99 years old. A career Vatican diplomat, Archbishop Jadot represented the Vatican in the United States from 1973 to 1980. After leaving Washington, the archbishop served as pro-president of the Secretariat for Non-Christians, now called the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. He retired in 1984. Announcing the archbishop’s death Jan. 21, Cardinal Godfried Danneels of Mechelen-Brussels said Archbishop Jadot was not well-known in Belgium, since he spent so much of his life outside his homeland, but he was well-known in the United States. The cardinal said that while full U.S.-Vatican diplomatic relations were not formalized until 1994 Archbishop Jadot helped pave the way. “At a moment when the eyes of the whole world were on the White House, this man of the church returned to the house of the Father,” the cardinal said. “May Archbishop Jadot continue to watch over the American nation, which was close to his heart.” Born Nov. 23, 1909, in Brussels, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1934 and was named an archbishop in 1968. As a Vatican diplomat, he served in Laos, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon before being named apostolic delegate to the United States. He also had served as a military chaplain for the Belgian armed forces when they controlled Congo and worked as national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies of Belgium.
