Vatican City, 31 October 2014 (VIS) –
From 28 to 31 October the secretary of the Pontifical Council “Cor
Unum”, Msgr. Giampietro Dal Toso, visited Damascus in order to
attend the meeting of the assembly of Catholic bishops in Syria.
Msgr. Dal Toso also met with various
institutions, especially Catholic, that are currently involved in
humanitarian aid activities in the country.
In these meetings, special appreciation
was expressed for the commitment of the Holy Father and the Holy See
to supporting the Christian communities and the population as a
whole, who suffer as a result of the conflict, and for encouraging
dialogue and reconciliation among the various parties.
Emphasis was also placed on the
important role of Catholic aid organisms, who benefit all of the
Syrian population. Through the generous contribution of the
international community, in the face of growing need, this assistance
will have to be intensified in the future.
