A new video has just been released in which Pope Francis very clearly expresses his belief that all of the major religions are different paths to the same God. He says that while people from various global faiths may be “seeking God or meeting God in different ways” that it is important to keep in mind that “we are all children of God”. This is the most recent example that shows that the Pope has completely abandoned any notion that a relationship with God is available only through Jesus Christ. As he has done throughout his papacy, he continues to lay the groundwork for the coming one world religion, and yet hardly anyone seems upset by this.
When I first heard of this new video, I was so stunned that I thought that it might be a joke. But the truth is that this video is very real. The following comes from an article that was put out by Catholic News Agency…
The Pope's first-ever video message on his monthly prayer intentions was released Tuesday, highlighting the importance of interreligious dialogue and the beliefs different faith traditions hold in common, such as the figure of God and love.
"Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all: we are all children of God," Pope Francis said in his message, released Jan. 6, the feast of the Epiphany.
But it isn’t just Pope Francis speaking in this video. In fact, one section of the video features leaders from various global religions expressing faith in their respective deities. The following comes from an article about this new video that was posted on Christian News Network…
The video then features clips of those from different world religions declaring belief in their various deities.
"I have confidence in Buddha," a female lama announces.
"I believe in God," a rabbi affirms.
"I believe in Jesus Christ," a priest states.
"I believe in Allah," an Islamic leader declares.
Are you shocked yet?
The Pope closes the video with an appeal for people from every religion to talk with one another and to work with one another. Here is more from Catholic News Agency…
Later on, after the Pope affirms that all, regardless of their religious profession, are children of God, the faith leaders state their common belief in love.
Pope Francis closes the video by expressing his hope that viewers "will spread my prayer request this month: that sincere dialogue among men and women of different faiths may produce fruits of peace and justice. I have confidence in your prayers."
If you have not seen this video yet, it is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. You can watch it right here…
I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.
In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful.
In Islam, one of Allah’s primary titles is “the all-merciful one”. If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this certainly was not the first time that Pope Francis has used such language. For example, check out the following excerpt from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Popeâ¦
I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.
The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions â I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions â it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs.
Are you starting to get the picture?
Pope Francis believes that all religions are different paths to the same God, and he is working hard to lay a foundation for the coming one world religion.
After watching this most recent video, I don’t know how anyone can possibly deny that.
However, there are some religious people that Pope Francis does not like. Just recently, he referred to Christian fundamentalism as “a sickness“, and he made it clear that there was no room for it in Catholicism.
So precisely what is “fundamentalism”?
Google defines it as “a form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture.”
Does this mean that Pope Francis is against any Christian that believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible?
That does appear to be what he is saying, and without a doubt those would be the Christians that would be against the kind of one world religion that he appears to be promoting.
Nearly 2000 years ago, the Apostle John warned us that a one world religion was coming, and now we can see that it is coming to fruition.
So what will the end result of all of this be?
Is there any way for a council of bishops or cardinals to impeach a pope?
Well, there is something to that.
Poor popey-cock. Rhimes with “soapy”. The pope has no clue, I sadly say. Not. one. working. cell. The crazy uncle in the attic. So many embarrassments. He shames the devout.
Well, in a way that's true.
They will all meet God eventually -- it's just that the followers of Satan's false religions will not like the consequences.
Every morning just before breakfast
I don’t want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Jesus
That’s all I ever need
‘Cause I pray alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I pray alone
I prefer to be by myself
The other night I laid sleeping
And I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up with the archangel Michael
And the holy ghost unseen
And we prayed alone, yeah
With nobody else
Yeah, you know when I pray alone
I prefer to be by myself
...
Is Pope Francis the Anti Christ?
We ALL are God’s children, but all religions do NOT get you to God!!
They’ll all meet God. They won’t all like it, though
Let’s see. A Pope full disclosure, I am not Catholic) that believes there is more than one way to God, and Obama to head the UN.
Gosh. What could possibly go wrong?
Huh, hadn’t thought of that. Interesting.
Apostate. What happened to “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”
Well, I’ve thought the time was ripe beore, but I’ve been wrong.
Frankly, there are lot’s of times when I’ve wished I was wrong. This is certainly one of them.
John 14:6 applies. Francis is overruled.

Well the I guess jesus was either wrong or lying? There is nothing common across the world religions except for Judaism and christianity.
Christians worship Jesus. Muslims don’t.
(Hence, they don’t worship the same deity.)
Bingo.
I’d hate to be in Bergoglio’s shoes when he has to give an accounting to his Maker!
Of course he’ll have company in the persons of those popes who followed the great modernist move with Vatican II. They did nothing to stop the avalanche from which sprang a brand new religion that replaced Catholicism completely.
Things have been very bad since that fateful gathering when all the tenets, rubrics, etc. were tossed out the window, but Bergoglio indeed takes the grand prize for un-Godly utterings and making a complete ass of himself.
Turn the Vatican into a humongous hotel complex, or give it to the traditionalists and get out of town.
OK, so we heard the odd proclamation from the Pope. Any word on what the Iranian Mullahs and other Islamic barbarians are saying? That ought to be interesting. If the Pope actually believes that muslims are seeking the one true God, he is mistaken.
