A Colombian cardinal turned down an offer made by the FARC to have representatives of the catholic church at the peace talks currently underway in Havana, Cuba.
“It is perfectly clear that we have nothing to do in Havana,” said Cardinal Ruben Salazar in response to the invitation of FARC negotiator “Ivan Marquez.” The leading FARC rebel suggested on Tuesday that Colombian bishops participate in the dialogue between the government and Colombia’s largest left-wing rebel group.
“I do not think that they are people who have to invite us… we do not have a single role at the table at the peace talks,” Salazar said.
“We as a Church are always willing to help acclimate the peace in Colombia,” the cardinal added.
