By Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., The Catholic Thing - Most importantly, (for Pope Francis) to declare in an unnuanced way, that “all religions are a path to God,” and so inspired, is to give voice to the words of the Devil. Such assertions insult the singularity of Jesus as the Son of God incarnate, and that in him alone does one find salvation. The Devil rejoices when Jesus is degraded and demeaned, for he cannot tolerate the truth that Jesus is the universal Savior and definitive Lord... Importantly, unlike Jesus, the founders of other religions do not save from sin and the curse of death. Nor do they provide an enhanced relationship with God.
