“All Religions Teach That We are Children of One God”
Francis spoke today to participants in a Vatican conference (November
29-30) commemorating the centenary of the first interfaith gathering,
the "All religions’ conferencem" then led by a certain Sree Narayana
Guru (1856-1928).
Adressing the "respected Swamis of Sivagiri Mutt and the followers of Sree Narayana Guru", Francis said:
"All
religions teach the fundamental truth that as children of one God we
must love and honor one another, respect diversity and differences in a
spirit of fraternity and inclusion, and take care of each other and the
earth, our common home."
The idea of being children of one God,
who is then a Father, is expressed only in the Bible. It is denied in
Islam. Hindu pagan ideas, as proclaimed by Francis' respected Swamis, do
not even know that there is One God to relate to.
