“Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in reference to their God.”It appears that the original source for this was the left-wing satire site, National Report.
If you have another original source for this quote (such as the transcript of a speech he gave posted on vatican.va, zenit.org, or some other reputable source), if you can provide that source, I'd appreciate it.
As for whether National Report is a satire site, most people should be able to tell this by simply looking at the headline banner:

BTW, for the record (and as my posting history for the past several months will show), I am not a fan of this pope...
