History until the French Revolution
Antiquity
The tolerance has not always existed. Already Plato dreamed of burning up the public works of Democritus Middle Ages and Renaissance Thereafter, each religion has regarded other religions as not being revealed truth. Thus the first contact between Islam and Christianity were often difficult and gave rise to ruthless wars like the Crusades. In the Christian world, it was the Jews , responsible for the death of Jesus of Nazareth , that the Jewish people was considered deicide , into the Catholic liturgy , and they were excluded from a large number of functions in the society. There were exceptions to the practice of intolerance: To contacts between civilizations , existing forms of exchange cultural that could be regarded as the beginning of interreligious dialogue: Caliphate of Cordoba , Sicily at the time of Roger II of Sicily. These examples of dialogue intercultural were based, from the Renaissance of the twelfth century , a clear philosophical foundation: Peter Abelard had written in 1142 Dialogue between a Philosopher, a Jew and a Christian, which remained unfinished. The philosopher in question was probably a Muslim. Abelard began and directed three monotheistic , for which there is one God. He was in search of religious tolerance , and sought a common core deeply rooted in the cultures of three religions monotheistic as are Christianity , the Judaism and Islam , to establish a real communication. Abelard is the inventor of the scholastic , before St. Thomas Aquinas and the great scolasticiens the XIII century. He put out the strength of the philosophy of Aristotle , transmitted by the Arab-Muslims in western world. This philosophy allowed to reveal the foundations metaphysical common to the three major religions monotheistic. The translation of works of Aristotle between 1120 and 1190 required a joint work between Jews, Muslims and Christians. This philosophy formed the basis of information from the twelfth century in the West , and was gradually introduced into the universities in the European establishment in the thirteenth century by Albertus Magnus and Roger Bacon. This is how Paris became the capital of Western intellectual (we employed the term bit of Europe at that time). The Renaissance followed this trend. The French Revolution put the issue of the status of citizens in general. This concerns the priests Catholics (see Civil Constitution of clergy ) but also the people of religions other than Catholicism , including Jews who were left out of most functions. Yet the idea of a genuine dialogue passed easily into the minds of Catholics. The development of religious studies was derived from the philosophy of German nineteenth century. It allowed the implementation of knowledge lay in the religious phenomenon that was perceived as a threat by religions. Such was the challenge of the modernist crisis during which the Roman Catholic Church fought this knowledge under the name of relativism , this is still the challenge of many conflicts having to do with the religious phenomenon. On this point, see Quest for the Historical Jesus , Gospel. In 1999 was created a foundation for research and interreligious and intercultural dialogue. The Cardinal Ratzinger was instrumental in the founding of this organization. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the important development of means of transport and communication has allowed networking culture which, if not conducive to interreligious dialogue, cast in bases. Some utopians like Saint-Simon , even imagined that it was sufficient to establish lines of railway and navigation between Rome and Mecca to talk the pope and Muslims. After the Second World War , the democratization of the journey was made by the method of the tour that rarely allowed the meeting of the Aboriginal. However, exchanges of students, previously reserved for upper classes of developed countries , could improve the situation by funding EU , as the program Erasmus. It is even harder to understand behavior we do not know the origins. That is why the education is often regarded as a vector of tolerance. Reflection on the truth (religious or otherwise), yet well under way by Michel de Certeau SJ in The Practice of Everyday Life, Vol II: Approaches to believe has been taken by any religion except the current Liberals were aware that since the nineteenth century. The believer ignores the sanctity of others and calls them the reverence in what he believes, that reverence is not ready to show respect to his interlocutors. Because the purpose of most religions teach only what they think "real" meaning by all variants of "fake" anything they have not expressed themselves (method of epicycles Copernican described for the first time in the religious sphere by John Hick (in God has Many Names ( 1988 ) and popularized by since by Rgis Debray in The Sacred Fire: Function of religious, Fayard, 2003 ), we can not say that the religious culture of the average European has greatly advanced. On this, see specialized articles: The World Parliament of Religions or World Parliament of Religions, is the first attempt to establish a comprehensive dialogue between religions. It meets in Chicago from 11 to 27 September 1893 , at the Expo , at the behest of Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), a Hindu spiritual leader, philosopher of Vedanta and Jenkin Lloyd Jones , (1843 -1918), a Christian Unitarian World Conference of Religions for Peace Founded in 1970 , Religions for Peace is the largest international coalition of representatives of world religions at the service of promoting peace . After the events of the Holocaust during the Second World War , the conference Seelisberg ( 1947 ) has felt the need to review the Christian teaching about Judaism. The historian Jules Isaac was the origin of this awareness, as well as several Christian personalities. Past thirty years, many thoughts have focused on finding the religious roots of anti-Semitism , what is sometimes called the anti-Judaism to establish a comprehensive dialogue between Jews and Christians. The liturgy of the Catholic Good Friday has been changed in the missal of 1966 by Paul VI in order to remove the mention offensive to Jews , who remained since the seventh century. Following the conference Seelisberg , organized in 1947 to study the causes of Christian anti-Semitism, and the instigation of a few figures like Jacques Maritain , Catholics felt the urgent need to revisit thoroughly the relationship they had with other religions. The theme of interreligious dialogue was with the ecumenism , one of the topics discussed at the Second Vatican Council between 1962 and 1965. The declaration Nostra Aetate is the document which sits the new relationship between Catholics and Jews , Muslims , Buddhists and Hindus. In 2005 , religious leaders around the world gathered to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of its promulgation. Then, several events marked the search dialog: The Encyclical Redemptoris missio devotes three paragraphs to interreligious dialogue (55, 56, 57). Several years before the year 2000 , the Pope John Paul II invited the Roman Catholic Church to repent for the mistakes in the past, particularly against non-Christian religions, and also to forgive. January 6, 2009 at Mahuva in Gujarat, the Dalai Lama has opened an interfaith conference called "Dialogue of Religions and World Symphony." Convened by the Hindu preacher Morari Bapu , this conference explores "how to treat discord among the major religions," according to this preacher. Participants include Professor Samdhong Rinpoche , Prime Minister of the Tibetan government in exile for Buddhism , Diwan Saiyad Zainul Abedin Ali Sahib (Ajmer Sharif) in Islam, Dr. Dutt Prabalkant for non-Catholic Christianity, Swami Jayendra Saraswathi for Hinduism and Dastur Dr. Mirza Peshtan Hormazadiar for Zoroastrianism , .
