Thus, the Iraqi\u2019s \u201cdeserve such holy visits\u201d, he said.<br>In a country such as Iraq &#8220;ravaged by conflict and war for many years\u201d, Cardinal Gregory believes Pope Francis is tangibly demonstrating the type of dialogue he has been promoting for a long time. &#8220;Pope Francis went to visit Al-Sistani to create a relationship of dialogue and respect,&#8221; the Cardinal said.<br>With this concrete demonstration from the Pope and the Ayatollah that &#8220;people from different religious traditions can work together in dialogue and mutual respect&#8221;, Cardinal Gregory suggested that Catholics and Muslims collaborate in the area of &#8220;works of charity.&#8221; &#8220;Both religions place an emphasis on charitable work.
