And he added that the fact of having reunited "in one reflection, the three monotheist religions," represents "a great news," even because the Pope pointed out two areas in which the three religions can co-operate: in the "relation between faith and reason" and in "culture" where religions have the common task of showing "the sense of respect and adoration for the absolute, the truth." As for the consequences of the Pope's voyage on the peace process in the Middle East, card. Tauran declared: "For the Pope, and for the Holy See, peace must be based on justice, with the establishment of two States, and it is essential that the international community commits itself to finding a settlement to the conflict." Then a reflection on the possibility and willingness to establish peace in the region: "we can reflect on this. The Pope said he had perceived signs of good will. I believe that both sides have understood that they cannot be happy without the others, nor can they live with a wall separating them, literally and figuratively speaking".
