His Holiness the Pope has caused predictable outrage by suggesting, on his recent visit to Singapore, that "all religions are a path to God". But is he entirely wrong?
Speaking to an audience of some 600 young people, the Pope asked where it would lead if people attack each other by claiming "my religion is more important than yours, mine is true and yours isn’t". After all, he went on, "there’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God".
One presumes that he was confining his thoughts to the world's major religions, especially the Abrahamic religions, and not including, for example, the faith tradition of the Inca and Aztec peoples whose religion demanded the sacrifice of large numbers of innocent human beings.
