Is Pope Francis Forming An Alliance With Islam?
New Pope looking to unite all the world’s religions
Pope Francis on Friday called for the Roman Catholic Church to “intensify” its dialogue with Islam, echoing hopes in the Muslim world for better ties with the Vatican during his reign.
“It is important to intensify dialogue among the various religions and I am thinking particularly of dialogue with Islam,” the new pontiff said in an address to foreign ambassadors at the Vatican.
Francis’s predecessor Benedict XVI was seen by some Muslim leaders as hostile to Islam and the change at the top had been welcomed by the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam’s highest seat of learning.
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, head of the Saudi-based OIC, said earlier this month that he hoped “the relationship between Islam and Christianity will regain its cordiality and sincere friendship”. Mahmud Azab, adviser for inter-faith affairs to Al-Azhar imam Ahmed al-Tayyeb in Cairo, also told AFP earlier: “As soon as a new policy emerges, we will resume the dialogue with the Vatican”.
In his address on Friday, Francis also called for the Church to dialogue more with non-believers — returning to an effort begun during Benedict’s reign amid rising secularism in the Western world. “It is also important to intensify outreach to non-believers so that the differences which divide and hurt us may never prevail but rather the desire to build true links of friendship,” he said.
The Argentine pope said he wanted to “build bridges connecting all people” and said this was particularly significant for him personally because of his own Italian immigrant roots. source – Al Arabiya

The pope is not “looking to unite all the world’s religions.” The Catholic religion alone is endowed by God with the fullness of truth and grace. All other religions have some good things to offer, but they are all inferior and subordinate to the one true Catholic faith.
“inferior and subordinate to the one true Catholic faith.”
You sound like a pagan.
Wasnt the point of being a CHRISTIAN to believe in CHRIST (Jesus)?
http://deeptruths.com/bible-basics/salvation.html
Isaiah 43:7,2 Chronicles 7:13-14 Called by my name is the theme.
Since all born again christians are spiritually adopted by God. (Romans 8:15,Romans 8:23,Galatians 4:5-6)
One sect is NOT more important than another!
(John 17:11,Romans 3:22 ,Romans 3:29,Romans 8:1,1 Corinthians 12:13,Galatians 3:26 ,Galatians 5:6 ,Ephesians 2:14-15,Colossians 3:11)
True christians are ONE (spiritual) body WITH christ (fused)…which is why he warned:(Matthew 18:8 ,Matthew 5:29-30) a.k.a. purge bad christian thinking before it condemns all. (inter faith,our sect is true and yours is a lie).
The only important fact is the belief in Jesus,EVERYTHING else is petty.
The Pope has neither the authority nor the right to profess to ‘unite all religions’. He is one, single, solitary Catholic and does not, in any manner of speaking, represent nor speak for all Christians around the world. How the notion started The Pope represents all Christians is incomprehensible and is one, big, fat myth.
Sorry and not trying to offend, but Catholicism is a long way from being Christ like, they Worship the Pope as the Father, they Worship Mary, they have Idols everywhere, all these are signs of false Worship, they the “Pope” even says we are not Bible Christians, hence they are NOT Christians in the eyes of God
No where in the Bible does it mention, purgetory or being able to “BUY” your way out of it, there is no sprinkling for Baptism, the is only FULL immersion
There is only One way to the Father and that is through Christ his Son, and Christ and Peter tell us in matter of fact ways, WE have to repent, Get Baptised and filled with the Spirit, Catholics don’t read the Bible, but if they did, then they would know their Leaders are lying to them, read Acts 2, Mark 16, John 3, Corin etc etc, there is the truth, for Catholics please read all those Scriptures before calling foul and saying I am wrong, if I am Wrong then the Bible is wrong, and any true Christian will never deny Gods Word or his Book
i opened my bible one day. i left the catholic church within the month. they have made up their own traditions. gentile believers are the seed of abraham. that means we are israel. our Savior came to save us from our sins. we were not keeping the laws. we are not perfect. revelation 14 says to keep Yahuwah’s commandments and the testimony of His Son. find out the truth and pray. check out eliyah on youtube. your world will open up.
