Speaking on the sidelines of the International Conference on the Global Fight against Terrorism in Tehran on Saturday, the Vatican diplomat said the Popes of the Catholic Church have always insisted on dialogue, charity, and pardon.
He also welcomed a call for institution of a "secretariat for dialog" with respect to the fight against terrorism.
Archbishop Farhat went on to say that terrorism is "a political movement".
"There is no word for terrorism in my religion, Christianity," he added.
