The President of the Pontifical Council for Culture, Monsignor Gianfranco Ravasi, explained that his dicastery Foundation has created "The Courtyard of the Gentiles" that have invited atheists and agnostics to "renew the dialogue between men and women who do not believe but want to move towards God. "
Thus indicated the Vatican prelate told the Italian bishops' newspaper, Avvenire, which also noted that the idea is" first create a network of agnostics or atheists accept and enter dialogue as members of the Foundation, and so our dicastery.
One of the aims of the Foundation will study the "spiritual place" of believers and to develop "themes of the relationship between religion, society , peace and nature. "This initiative, explained the archbishop, is a response to the invitation of Pope Benedict XVI in December in his speech to the Roman Curia for dialogue with non-believers.
Archbishop Ravasi said that with this project we want to help everybody out of the poor conception to believe and promote understanding that theology is scientific and epistemological status dignity. "
This foundation will have an annual meeting, the first of which could be developed in Paris in the second half of this year.
