Pope Benedict XVI told religious leaders at St Mary's, Twickenham, today that successful interfaith dialogue requires freedom of religion and freedom of conscience to be respected across the world.
He said: "Ever since the Second Vatican Council, the Catholic Church has placed special emphasis on the importance of dialogue and cooperation with the followers of other religions. In order to be fruitful, this requires reciprocity on the part of all partners in dialogue and the followers of other religions.
