Israel's former President Shimon Peres, Pope Francis, the creation of a "United Nations of Religions" proposed at a private audience. There is now "hundreds, perhaps thousands of terrorist organizations, pretending to kill in the name of God." Peres told the Italian newspaper "Famiglia Cristiana". The United Nations look at them without weapons and without religious convictions. An "agency of the United Religions, a UN of religions" would be "the best way to confront the terrorists."
The 91-year-old Peres, who was Israel's president until the end of July had at the beginning of June met Pope Francis together with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Peres called the head of the Catholics in the interview as an outstanding candidate for the leadership of a UN of religions. Francis will also respected by the other religions, he was "perhaps the only respected leaders," Peres said.
The pontiff had listened to the proposal in the 45-minute private audience "attentively and with interest," said Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi. The head of the Catholic Church had promised no personal involvement, but held out the prospect that the competent Congregations of the Vatican pursued the proposal with great attention.
