ROME (Christian Examiner) – The leader of Catholics worldwide believes most people on the planet have two things in common – a belief in "God" and faith in love to overcome differences of belief.
That is why, in a new video urging prayer for interfaith understanding, Pope Francis calls for greater religious dialogue among those worldwide "who declare themselves believers."
The video, however, features four of the pontiff's friends from Argentina who are of different faiths, among them a Buddhist, a Jew, a Catholic, and a Muslim, raising the question of what or who the pontiff believes is authentically God.
The video was sponsored by the Jesuit prayer network known as the Apostleship of Prayer. According to the Catholic News Agency, the segment – only a minute-and-a-half in length – is the first time the pontiff's monthly prayer "intention" has been filmed.
"Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways," Francis says as the video shows him receiving a Buddha statue and meeting with a Greek Orthodox priest. "In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty we have for all: we are all children of God."

This Pope is an idiot.
Interestingly Vatican Radio also includes this quote about atheists and agnostics from the video, but I haven’t found it myself in the English version:
“Some declare themselves to be agnostic, they do not know whether God exists. Others say they are atheists”.
Buddhism is not the same thing really. And the Moslem prays to a devil - satanic “god” — who instructs his followers to murder Christians, Jews, And other innocent people. Sorry, Your Holiness, but you’re dead wrong about Islam - dead wrong
John, 14-6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Shouldn’t he be sharing the Gospel?
Isn’t that what Christian’s do?
Good thing I left Roman Catholicism a long time ago, because, otherwise, I’d have had to have left it again upon the stunning (yet obvious) realization that, yes, the Pope, the so-called Vicar of Christ on Earth, is a heretic and an idiot.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.
It is not like any other religion.
It calls upon believers to subjugate, convert or kill everyone else on the planet.
No Buddha
No Mohammad
No Mary
None
>> This Pope is an idiot.
This Pope is a tool of the enemy.
I had an interest in Buddhism when I was young and both liberal and an immature Christian. I won’t get into that except to say I lived in the very secular Northeast, no one I know had read the Bible, and I didn’t know better.
But Buddhism is Satanic, too. It was part of the turning away from the knowledge and remembrance of God, mentioned in Romans 1.
This pope is either evil or an idiot;I am leaning towards evil because there should be plenty of other priests willing to educate an idiot. But an evil man will not listen..
The main purpose of the Catholic Church is to spread the message of Jesus Christ. It is the very reason for its existence started by the disciple Peter (the rock). This ‘pope’ rarely ever mentions the name of Jesus Christ. Why is that?
From Ann Barnhardt:
FrancisChurch Dogwhistle Words
You may have noticed that pretty much everything Jorge Bergoglio says is a meaningless pastiche of drooling nonsense, punctuated by a core vocabulary of dogwhistle words, and for those of you who have actually heard him speak, the gutteral, slackjawed verbal tick, “Eehh?â€
You can tell who his drooling sychopants are, because they pick up and conspicuously litter their speech and writing with these dogwhistle words and phrases. For me, these words are now ruined – rendered totally unusable by Bergoglio and his fag toadies. Just as no more boys can ever be named “Adolf†(Sorry Coors family!), these words and phrases will now incite spittle-flicked nutties whenever they fall upon the ears of decent, God-fearing human beings.
1. Encounter
This is a dogwhistle for faggots. Faggots have “encounters†in grotty toilets, bathhouses and Novus Ordo seminaries. Encounters are brief meetings. Wham, bam, thank you, Fr. Rosica. (Go ahead and sue me Tom, you diabolical fag. You can get in line to all claims on my non-existent estate right behind the IRS. Heh.)
2. Dialogue
This is faggot-speak for moral relativism and/or modernism. There is no Truth, and we don’t actually believe what we believe. Dialogue.
3. Exclude/include
Bergoglio, being an illiterate moron, seems to not understand that EXCLUDE is a transitive verb, meaning it takes an object. Or does he…? For example:
The Church excludes PERTINACIOUS HERETICS.
The Church is the subject.
Excludes is the transitive verb.
Pertinacious heretics is the direct object.
Bergoglio uses exclude and include like a cudgel, as intransitive verbs, just hanging there without an object, as he makes his strawman arguments. “Jesus includes and never excludes.†Jesus includes WHAT OR WHOM? Unrepentant sodomites? Satanists? Jesus never excludes WHAT OR WHOM? Baby killers? Nazis? Musloids?
Using exclude and include as intransitive verbs is a dogwhistle for moral relativism.
4. Closeness
Ew. Again, another faggot dogwhistle, conjuring images of Roman bathhouses or stopped elevators in Montevideo.
5. Accompany
Another faggot dogwhistle. I won’t judge you in your despicable, filthy sin. Heck, I’ll ACCOMPANY YOU! And if you have a particularly pillowy Brad Pitt lips, why then I’ll even…
6. Accompany body-to-body
Quite possibly the single most faggoty phrase ever uttered in human history.
7. Tender, tenderness, tenderly
Well. I guess we can never, ever, ever listen to “Love Me Tender†ever again. Thanks for ruining everything, including ELVIS, fags.
8. Caress, caressing
Drop this one and all fags within a half-mile radius will come running. Er, make that, sashaying. Snap.
9. Tenderly caressing
This is the veritable Bat Signal of the fags. Drop this one and a pink phone somewhere in Casa Santa Marta rings. See below.
10. The Poor
This is now a dogwhistle for any and all “victim classesâ€, including fags, adulterers and all aberrosexuals. Anyone whose behavioral choices that the Church and Divine and Natural Law condemn, are unrepentant, and who will become cheering fanbois for FrancisNewChurch, can be classified as “the poorâ€. Oh, it is also boilerplate Marxist class warfare incitement.
Email more if you think of them.
The bottom line is this: I judge people who have conspicuously weaved any of these terms into their writing or speech since Bergoglio’s squatting on the See of Peter VERY, VERY HARSHLY. These are shameless asskissers who are trying to weasel their way into and ingratiate themselves before the FrancisNewChurch Mafia. Make absolutely no mistake, people who pick up and use these now wretch-inducing terms are throwing billowing smoke signals that they are for sale and ready to play ball with Bergoglio, his toadies and their utterly satanic pro-sodomy, anti-Christ agenda.
You can smell ’em a mile away. If you come across anyone using this fetid sodomite dogwhistle language, run in the opposite direction before you or someone you love gets tenderly caressed in an unwanted body-to-body accompaniment.

Isn’t that what Christian’s do?
Well, yes, but this is the Roman Catholic Pope we're talking about.
Exactly. Jesus said this Himself, if you don’t believe His own words, how can you call yourself a Christian? He Himself said that through Him, and only through Him, is the path to salvation.
When I was younger, we were taught that the Pope was a likely candidate for helping to usher in the one world religion (this was in the heyday of Christian ecumenicalism). Later that began to seem less likely, with other popes. Lo and behold, we now have a pope coming right out and equating not only all Christian denominations, but non-Christian religions too, in disregard of the words of Jesus. I don’t know if he’ll be “the one”, but he’s certainly in the line of those ushering it in. There are certainly Protestant leaders doing the same thing, but no one Protestant speaks for all Protestants, and there are still small pockets of Protestants who are militant against equating Christianity with other religions, and no one Protestant leader can claim to speak for them, not Billy Graham, no one. In fact many Protestants (especially fundamentalists, my own “branch”) have never seen Billy Graham as a spokesperson for undiluted Biblical Christianity, and even less so in his later years.
"But as many as received Him (Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name... " John 1:12
"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' Matthew 7:22-23
Amen brother!
‘Dialogue’can get you killed!
