Full Quote from Pope Francis:
One of the things that has impressed me most about the young people here is your capacity for interfaith dialogue. This is very important because if you start arguing, “My religion is more important than yours...,” or “Mine is the true one, yours is not true....,” where does this lead? Somebody answer. [A young person answers, “Destruction”.] That is correct. All religions are paths to God. I will use an analogy, they are like different languages that express the divine. But God is for everyone, and therefore, we are all God’s children. “But my God is more important than yours!”. Is this true? There is only one God, and religions are like languages, paths to reach God. Some Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian. Understood? Yet, interfaith dialogue among young people takes courage. The age of youth is the age of courage, but you can misuse this courage to do things that will not help you. Instead, you should have courage to move forward and to dialogue.
What does it mean for the Catholic faith when some suggest all paths lead to God? We explore the importance of staying true to the unique revelation of Jesus Christ, the significance of martyrdom, and the dangers of reducing religious truth to a "one-size-fits-all" approach. With references to GK Chesterton, the letter to the Hebrews, and a historical understanding of faith, this video challenges the notion that all religions are the same.
