The European Jewish Congress (EJC) has learned with profound sadness the death of Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, whose destiny elevated him to the highest offices in the Catholic hierarchy.
“The world has lost a great human conscience with the death of Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger” declared EJC President Moshe Kantor.
Man of faith, of conviction and memory, Cardinal Lustiger bore values that enriched his thought and actions and marked profoundly inter-religious dialogue. He contributed significantly to the European Encounters Between Catholics and Jews, initiated by the European Jewish Congress.
