Singapore’s first Catholic cardinal vows to promote unity and love ‘among all humankind’, plans research centre for inter-religious work

SINGAPORE, Sept 9 — Newly appointed Cardinal William Goh has vowed to promote unity and love among all humankind at a time when the world has become polarised and fragmented.

“Of course, ours is a spiritual mission, in the sense that we believe very strongly that the world would be united if everyone truly believes in God.” Cardinal Goh was archbishop before his latest appointment by Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church worldwide. The official ceremony took place earlier in Vatican City on August 27.

Addressing reporters after the two-hour event, Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for Social and Family Development, said: “We appreciate the honour that was bestowed on for his leadership and commitment to spread harmony and peace among various faiths and to lead this effort not just for Singapore and Singaporeans but for the region.”

He noted that in Asia, which “hosts all the major religions in the world”, it is important for people to live in peace and unity. One of the ways he intends to do so is through the setting up of a research institute in Singapore.
