Since we acknowledge that we are children of the same God, we can accept our differences and together devote ourselves to the service of society, with respect for justice, moral values and peace."

it is important that each person remain loyal to his or her own faith.
God Himself has made known to mankind the way in which men are to serve Him, and thus be saved in Christ and come to blessedness. We believe that this one true religion subsists in the Catholic and Apostolic Church, to which the Lord Jesus committed the duty of spreading it abroad among all men ... On their part, all men are bound to seek the truth, especially in what concerns God and His Church, and to embrace the truth they come to know, and to hold fast to it. ("Dignitatis Humanae", 1)

"it is important that each person remain loyal to his or her own faith"

Statements like this prove once again that in the new religion of Vatican 2, conversion to the one, true Faith has given way to "unity in diversity, appreciating our different faith traditions, building a civilization of love, peace and vegetable rights" etc etc - except of course if you want daily access to the traditional Latin Mass and Sacraments.
