Francis, Vicar of Gaia, Joins Imams in Interfaith-Type Prayer-Sorta

2020-05-16

Sadly, this is the kind of well-meaning nonsense we have come to expect from this pope, who so often reminds faithful Catholics that the Church is its membership, and not an extension of whichever man happens to sit upon the throne of St. Peter at any particular moment.

[FoxNews] Pope Francis is being accused of "blasphemy" and "sacrilege" by some Catholics for participating in an interfaith prayer Thursday with Muslims, Jews and Christians, calling on God to end the coronavirus pandemic.

The Abu Dhabi-based multifaith Higher Committee on Human Fraternity formed after the pope's historic visit in 2019 to the Arabian peninsula. Its nine members came up with the idea to pray, fast and perform charitable works.
Aware of the potential controversy, the pontiff addressed the matter during his Friday morning Mass at the Vatican.

"Maybe there will be someone who will say, 'This is religious relativism and it cannot be done," Francis said. "But how can we not pray to the father of us all? Each one prays as they know how, as they are able to. We are not praying one against the other, one tradition against another ... (but) as brothers."
The multifaith prayer upset many among the faithful.
