Musa al-Sadr
In the first years of his term, the new archbishop had many decisions of the Second Vatican Council to implement. This included the new situation for the participation of the laity. His active contacts with the Shiite Imam Musa al-Sadr, the founder of the Shiite Amal movement and his commitment to work with political and lay (non-religious) conditions, led to warnings from the Vatican. Together Haddad and al-Sadr founded in 1960 the Social Movement" (in Arabic الحركة الاجتماعية) and promoted in the following years, the Islamic-Christian dialogue. Following that, Musa al-Sadr held a speech during Easter in a Capuchin church.
