Approaching the New World Religion
Islam is a “magnificent faith” for Italian bishops.
During the presentation of 11 teaching materials for Catholic religion classes in Italian schools, Rev. Valentino Cottini, former rector of the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies (PISAI), praised Islam. The presentation was attended by the presiding Italian Cardinal, Matteo Zuppi.
Rev. Cottini said that the school materials provide "an objective and empathetic presentation of Islam that does not shy away from difficulties, but illustrates this magnificent faith and splendid culture".
The materials were developed jointly by Christian and Muslim scholars with the backing of the Italian Bishops' Conference.
