Abstract

Since the Second Vatican Council, the topic of interfaith dialogue seems to have received much attention and has been increasingly discussed in the meetings of the Catholic Church. Although it has become more familiar to Christians, interfaith dialogue still contains many new aspects that need to be explored and deepened, both in terms of awareness and practice. Building on the achievements of the Church, Pope Francis continues to advocate and promote interfaith dialogue activities. In his most recent encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis calls on everyone in the world to strive more to build fraternity and social friendship. This article aims to explore 'Pope Francis' practical perspectives on interfaith dialogue,' as presented in his documents and speeches.
