Pope Benedict XVI on Friday urged religious leaders f all kinds to unite against those who use faith to divide communities - an apparent reference to terrorism in the name of religion. Benedict met with representatives of Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist faiths for about 40 minutes during the Roman Catholic church's youth festival, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Sydney. "In a world threatened by sinister and indiscriminate forms of violence, the unified voice of religious people urges nations and communities to resolve conflicts through peaceful means and with full regard for human dignity," Benedict told a gathering of clerics from different faiths in Sydney. Without mentioning terrorism directly, the pontiff said creating harmony between religion and public life was "all the more important at a time when some people have come to consider religion as a cause of division rather than a force for unity."
