AUGUST 4- Yudhistir Govinda Das, ISKCON Communications Director for India and a member of the global ISKCON Communications Leadership Team, called on Pope Francis at the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See (Vatican Embassy) in Lisbon, Portugal, earlier today.
A small delegation of eight religious leaders representing different traditions was invited to a private meeting with Pope Francis by the KAICIID Dialogue Centre, an intergovernmental organization focusing on interreligious dialogue. The Holy See is a Founding Observer to the Centre, which began in 2012.
Pope Francis is currently in Lisbon to preside over the Roman Catholic Church’s World Youth Day celebrations, welcoming over 350,000 young pilgrims from at least 143 countries, according to the event organizers.
“In greeting the delegation, the Pope expressed his gratitude for the visit and addressed a few words to those present on the value of fraternity and dialogue and the danger of monologue and proselytizing,” read the Holy See Press Office statement.
