Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, who served as prefect of the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue since 2019, passed away November 25, after a long illness. He was 72. A former missionary in Egypt and Sudan, he was one of the Vatican’s prominent figures in fostering interreligious dialogue, particularly with Islam. This dialogue became a priority for the Holy See after Pope Francis’s election in 2013, especially in regions where Catholics are a minority.
