In his address to participants of the "All Religions Conference" held at the Vatican on November 29-30, Pope Francis emphasized the importance of dialogue in combating global intolerance and hatred.
Highlighting the negative effects of discrimination based on differences, the Pope urged faith leaders to promote the sharing of spiritual truths and values across religions.
He stressed that the lack of respect for the noble teachings of religions is the root cause of many challenges facing the world today.
The event also celebrated the centenary of the All-Religions Conference organized by the Sree Narayana Dharma Sanghom Trust.
Pope Francis acknowledged the legacy of Sree Narayana Guru, a Hindu spiritual guide and social reformer, who championed social equality by opposing the caste system and advocating for the unity of all humanity.
The conference theme, "Religions Together for a Better Humanity," reflects the urgent need to foster cooperation among religions.
Pope Francis reiterated that all human beings, created equal by God, are called to live as brothers and sisters, promoting fraternity, inclusion, and caring for each other and the planet.
The Pope concluded with a call for cooperation among people of goodwill to combat individualism and foster a culture of respect, compassion, and solidarity.
He encouraged religious representatives to work together, rooted in their beliefs, to build a better humanity.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
