Statement by the Justitia et Pax Commission of the Croatian Conference of Bishops

In Split, the Eighth Regional Conference of the European Society of Women in Theological Research (ESWTR) for Central and Eastern Europe has begun, the first international conference of female theologians in Croatia.

"The Church, if it wants to remain faithful to its mission, must not be silent, must not give in to the temptations of interest and compromise. Like a prophet, it must stand on the side of truth, regardless of the price it will have to pay," said Bishop Egidije Živković at the commemoration in Udbina.

Mufti Hasanović and Archbishop D'Errico agreed that cooperation between the two great religions must be built upon what they have in common, rather than upon differences.
