Why do we listen to those from other faiths? What distinguishes synodal listening from dialogue? To help us explore this area we speak with Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald, a member of the Missionaries of Africa, known as the White Fathers.
He graduated from the Gregorian University in 1965 with a doctorate in theology, and in 1968 with a degree in Arabic from SOAS, the School of Oriental and African Studies in the University of London. He was appointed secretary, and later president of what would become the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.
In 2006 he was appointed as the apostolic nuncio in Egypt and delegate to the League of Arab States, from which he retired in 2012. Seven years later Pope Francis appointed him Cardinal.
