Rome, 23 May (LaPresse) – "The religious pluralism protected by the Constitution has its roots in the Republic founded 80 years ago as an expression of freedom and equality. Genuine dialogue between different faiths, cultures and traditions, a valuable bulwark against extremism and intolerance, helps to enrich our civic life and breathe life into the democratic values that inspire it.” So said the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, on the occasion of the Buddhist festival of Vesak.
