"Some Muslim scholars asked us for a room with a carpet for praying. We granted them this request," Don Giacomo Cardinali, vice-prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Library, told Repubblica.it on October 8.
The Vatican's book collection contains “incredibly old Korans,” Don Cardinali continued. “We are a universal library; there are Arabic, Jewish, Ethiopian collections, Chinese unique items.”
According to the vice prefect, the Vatican Library contains a total of around 80,000 manuscripts, 50,000 archival items, almost two million printed books, 100,000 engravings and prints, and 100,000 coins and medals.
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
