Cardinal William Goh receiving the red biretta from Pope Francis at the consistory in St Peter’s Basilica, Aug 27, 2022. Cardinal William Goh of Singapore, one of the 20 new cardinals formally created by Pope Francis on August 27, vowed to promote “religious harmony” in Asia.
To concretise the plan, the cardinal said the Archdiocese of Singapore will create a special research institute to study methodologies on how to promote friendship with other religious leaders. “The government sees us as a partner because, in the end, we help build a better society,” said the cardinal.
He said religious leaders maintain excellent relationships because they “respect and support each other.” The cardinal said, however, that people “must not take religious harmony in our country for granted and we must ensure that religious leaders remain moderate and respectful of one another” and serve as an example for the faithful.
In an earlier interview with Vatican News, Cardinal Goh said “diversity is the greatest challenge” for the Catholic Church in Asia.
