I’m not Catholic; but I see nothing wrong with adding those lines in an address. There are several world religions that have admirable traits, thoughts and philosophies that can help us gain a better understanding of what we are to be.
Honestly, there is only 1 world-wide religion that I can think of that has nothing worthwhile to contribute to mankind - and it isn’t Satanism.... ok, ... make that 1 World-wide religion and one small cult.
And you my friend are as lost as a bear in the mall. There is ONLY one God. He is in three persons. He is the God in Heaven. He does not tell us to worship cows, little fat stone men, a pedophile in a cave in Arabia. He tells us to worship Him. I will pray for you and those like you that "think" there are great religions around the world. There are thousands of "religions". There are over 1,000 religions in the USA alone. But, there is only ONE Him. One Faith. That is through Jesus Christ.
Our Lord had this sobering teaching to the Church:
Matthew 7:13-23
13 ‘Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy* that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. 14For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit
15 ‘Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus you will know them by their fruits.
Concerning Self-Deception
21 ‘Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22On that day many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?” 23Then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.”

Agreed. Why anyone would get panties in a wad over this is beyond me.
