Pope Francis Now Urges All Religions To Unite





“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all
the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed.” Revelation 13:11,12

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis urged members of all religions and those belonging to no church on Wednesday to unite
to defend justice, peace and the environment and not allow the value of
a person to be reduced to “what he produces and what he consumes”.

Yahya
Pallavicini, a leader of Italy’s Muslim community, said he was
impressed by the pope’s insistence of inter-religious friendship.

Francis, elected a week ago as
the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, met leaders of
non-Catholic Christian religions such as Orthodox, Anglicans, Lutherans
and Methodists, and others including Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and
Hindus.

“The Catholic Church is aware of
the importance of furthering respect of friendship between men and women
of different religious traditions,” the Argentine pontiff told
the religious leaders in an audience at the Vatican.

Speaking in Italian in the frescoed Sala Clementina, he said members
of all religions and even non-believers had to recognize their joint
responsibility “to our world, to all of creation, which we have to love
and protect.

“We must do much for the good of the poorest, the weak, and those who
are suffering, to favor justice, promote reconciliation and build
peace,” he said.

Francis told the religious leaders to fight “a one-dimensional vision
of a human person, according to which man is reduced to what he
produces and what he consumes,” which he said was “one of the most
dangerous snares of our times”.

While he said history had shown that any attempt to eliminate God had
produced “much violence,” he reached out to those who seek truth,
goodness and beauty without belonging to any religion.

“They are our precious allies in
the commitment to defend human dignity, build a more peaceful
coexistence among people and protect nature with care,” he said. source – Yahoo News
