They are not merely citations. Three are condemned errors, and one is an ex cathedra statement, which must be believed by Catholics in order to avoid shipwreck of the Faith.

Of course. I accept all those statements, according to the sense in which the Holy Church has understood and understands them.

"Of course. I accept all those statements, according to the sense in which the Holy Church has understood and understands them."

Which means that means that in making a statement such as this, Cardinal Tauran really doesn't have the interests of the Church in mind:

"Since we acknowledge that we are children of the same God, we can accept our differences and together devote ourselves to the service of society, with respect for justice, moral values and peace."

He (Cardinal Tauran) went on to say that the meeting is "also a dialogue between believers belonging to two different religions. In order to avoid any syncretism or caricature of others, it is important that each person remain loyal to his or her own faith."


...IF the interest of the Church is first and foremost the salvation of souls.

Right?
