Vatican's Ramadan message pledges to work with Muslims

The Vatican today sent a message to Muslims for the end of Ramadan, pledging to keep up momentum for closer relations begun by the late Pope John Paul II and to work for “greater justice and enduring peace”.

The traditional message, signed by the head of the office for inter-religious relations, Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, said “it was faith in God and confidence in humanity that impelled the late Pope to engage in dialogue”.
