The Catholic Church does not teach religious relativism or the equivalence of all religions. That is a false and slanderous mischaracterization. The fullness of truth is to be found in the Catholic Church, but there are elements of truth to be found in other religions where their beliefs are the same as Catholics. It is a logical impossibility to say that other religions are entirely wrong. What happens when they believe the same thing as the Catholic Church? If a religion believes that murder is a sin or that God is beneficent and merciful, are we Catholics to denounce such beliefs because they are taught in other religions?

I am not a Catholic, want to make that clear. I am an ex-Catholic and one reason for that is I do not agree with the Catholic church's view of other religions.

I do find religious relativism in much of the Popes Words and actions. Sponsering prayers to pagan gods at Assisi is just the start of it. Preaching that Allah (Islam's god) equals God is part of this. (look up Nostra Aetate) There has been a big push for interfaithism in the Catholic church. The Vatican with its spokesmen Martino and Sodano promote the agendas of the United Nations at every turn. I am not suprised by what is happening at Fatima with Dupuis and Guerra lining up to promote a "a cosmic Christ" for all religions. The double-speak reaches new heights when they say the Fatima shrine will remain Catholic but be opened to all religions. I dont see any mosques opening their doors to Christians.

Just because some religions may teach some same ethical truths does not give their false gods or beliefs any standing! Don't let the interfaith double-speak fool you.
