Summary / Abstract:

ENThe article analyses Inter-Confessional Dialogue in post-secular society. Interreligious dialogue helps to control the situation and reduce religious confrontation during inter-confessional disagreements, acts of terrorism, war in Syria and Libya, Iraq and Yemen, as well as Islamist terrorist attacks. The article draws attention to the Paris Statement A Europe We Can Believe In signed by the European intellectuals in Paris, the purpose of which is to help people understand a political and religious situation in post-secular society intellectually and spiritually. Another important aspect of analysing cultural changes in the world is related to internal destructive processes that destroy the cultural tradition. The secularization process has affected not only the West, but also the Islamic cultural sphere where there is a fight between the fanatical absolutism and a tolerant rationality, the cultural spheres of Hinduism and Buddhism, which in their fight against Western rationality and the Christian faith try to preserve their own identity. In postmodern society, religion becomes a form of dealing with various public affairs, and not of enabling a doctrinal content, therefore, we cannot forget the important place of Christian values in the construction of Europe. The article also discusses the importance of the interreligious dialogue between Islam and Christianity and highlights the relevance of the Document on Human Fraternity, which was signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed el-Tayeb at the Interreligious Meeting held in Abu Dhabi, in maintaining peaceful coexistence in the world.
