In a video message to Med24 Conference for inter-religious harmony, Pope Francis promoted “Unity in diversity” and “diversity of your cultural and religious identities is a gift of God.”

“God loves every man; He makes no differences among us,” he added. “The fraternity between the five shores of the Mediterranean that you are establishing it is the answer – really it’s an answer – the best answer we can offer to the conflicts and the deadly indifferences.”

This follows controversial comments to young people at a meeting on interreligious dialogue at a Catholic junior college in Singapore a week earlier.

“They are like different languages in order to arrive at God, but God is God for all,” said the Pope, who had set aside his prepared text and spoke largely off the cuff. “Since God is God for all, then we are all children of God.”

Evidently, all forms of religious expression are great, unless it’s the form of religious expression which all Catholic saints had for 500 years in the traditional Latin Mass.

For years, Pope Francis has been persecuting people who prefer the extraordinary form of the Latin Mass including imposing restrictions, saying it is “gagging” the reforms of Vatican II.
