Comment from UTT:

Pope Francis's plan to unite the world religions along with evangelicals using dialogue for the purpose of finding the "common good" is ludicrous. Anyone with any clue of what the Bible teaches knows this is a complete abomination and has nothing to do with the gospel we find in scripture. How tragic it is that the head of the world's largest group of people who profess to follow Jesus Christ can not clearly define what Christianity is all about. Worse yet, over one billion human beings blindly follow the Pope's false profession and don't even know it. Truly, this is a sign we are living in the last days

October 22 - For pope, dialogue is "an expression of the great need for God's love"

About 100,000 people gathered today for Pope Francis� jubilee audience on how dialogue �breaks down the walls of divisions and misunderstandings, builds bridges of communication, and does not allow anyone to turn inward into his or her own world� but �invites us to stand before others seeing them as a gift of God�. �The Church too lives of dialogue with the men and women of every age, to understand the needs that are at the heart of every person and contribute to achieving the common good.�

Pope Francis spoke today in his special audience for the Jubilee Year of Mercy before an assembled crowd of 100,000. "All forms of dialogue are an expression of the great need of love for God who reaches out to everyone and in everybody he puts a seed of his goodness, so that he or she can help in his creative work."

Such dialogue "breaks down the walls of divisions and misunderstandings, builds bridges of communication, and does not allow anyone to turn inward into his or her world,� but �invites us to stand before others seeing them as a gift of God".
