    Digital Goa, Sept 9 – Archbishop Filipe Neri Cardinal Ferrao has appealed everyone to respect each other’s religions & maintain harmony. In a public statement Ferrao said “It is distressing to note that certain expressions used recently in public by some members of the Catholic Church may have hurt the religious sentiments of people of other religious traditions,” he said. “In this regard we deeply regret that certain recent pronouncements made by some members of the Church have gone against the authentic spirit of inter-religious dialogue and reciprocal respect. We wish to assure that the Church leadership has taken appropriate action with regard to them and has also sternly warned them to avoid such utterances in the future,” he added.
