Benedict meets Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.
Benedict XVI on Monday morning met with Lord Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregation of the Commonwealth. Later, Rabbi Sacks held a public conference on the theme "Has Europe lost its soul?" in the Aula Magna of the Pontifical Gregorian University. Organised by the Gregorian's Cardinal Bea Centre for Judaic Studies, the conference emphasised the necessity of recovering the values of justice and compassion in a moment of difficulty and uncertainty for Europe, and of proposing a Judeo-Christian ethic as the foundation of a sustainable future.
