Pope Francis Paves the Path for One World Religion

In September 2024, Pope Francis stirred controversy during a visit to Singapore by stating, “All religions are a path to God.” While intended to promote peace and unity among different faiths, critics have raised concerns that this reflects a push for a "One World Religion."
“They are like different languages in order to arrive at God, but God is God for all. Since God is God for all, then we are all children of God. If you start to fight, ‘my religion is more important than yours, mine is true and yours isn’t’, where will that lead us?”, the pope said.
Pope Francis has long advocated for interfaith dialogue, meeting with leaders from various religions and supporting projects like the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi. His message of shared human values is seen by some as fostering global harmony, but others fear it could blur theological distinctions, particularly within Christianity.
Critics argue that the Pope’s approach might undermine core religious doctrines and could be paving the way for a unified global faith, which they link to end-time prophecies and concerns about religious freedom.
However, there's no concrete evidence supporting the idea that the Vatican is actively planning a single world religion.
The debate continues, with the Pope’s actions being interpreted as either a step toward global unity or a cause for concern about the future of individual religious identities.
