Probably there were in Argentina in recent decades, more forceful, more triggering event that would promote dialogue between Judaism and Catholicism that the site of the Memorial to the Victims of the Holocaust within the Metropolitan Cathedral of Buenos Aires Mural, event took place on April 17, 1997.
It was undoubtedly an event of global impact whose vibrations were repeatedly captured by the local press and abroad, while many personalities from the fields of religion, politics and international culture celebrating their existence. A Nobel Peace Prize, Lech Walesa, found the piece by the great architect of novelty: Primate Cardinal Antonio Quarracino (1923-1998).
Several years earlier, in 1993, Antonio Quarracino had demonstrated its unique openness to new and more dynamic forms of dialogue to become the first Cardinal Primate of Argentina to visit the headquarters of the AMIA and sign right there, a statement of profound value interfaith on the Grand Rabbi of Buenos Aires, Solomon Ben Hamu, and Kadi Jerusalem, Faruk Zoabi. Months later, in July 1994, hours after the bombing of the AMIA building, Quarracino personally approached the temporary headquarters of the Jewish community association to express his pain to the authorities and make public its rejection.
And even earlier, in February 1992, and pointed the way Quarracino becoming the first Cardinal Primate of Argentina that such condition was visiting Israel. This unique tour of the Holy Land has a spiritual meaning, most likely, only be seen in its full dimension in this film: "First Primate Pilgrim".
It should be noted that in one of his last letters, in December 1997, Cardinal Quarracino said goodbye typing:
"Soon the first anniversary will be fulfilled since the discovery of this worthy" Monument "to which I asked Jews who wish to cover their heads are invited. The final portion of the wall will be linked to the rest that await inside the Cathedral for continue hawking fraternity as I have done all my life., I do not doubt that my current coadjutor Archbishop. Jorge Bergoglio, time to happen, it will travel the same path of reconciliation and brotherhood with our elder brothers. "
The interfaith legacy of Cardinal Quarracino remains alive and vibrant. And it is because much of that by which he lived, and felt trumpeted still waiting to be made. His memory is always a source of inspiration, encouragement and hope.
