Interfaith Syncretism Masquerading as Catholic Dialogue
VaticanNews portal (November 21, 2025) reports on a symposium at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross commemorating the 60th anniversary of the conciliar declaration Nostra Aetate. The event—attended by representatives of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and the conciliar sect—praised interfaith dialogue as essential for global “peacebuilding.” “Cardinal” George Koovakad, prefect of the “Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue,” declared that “religion has an important role to play” in policymaking, while Prof. Philip Goyret asserted that “religious leaders… can contribute to building peace.” Participants visited Rome’s Great Synagogue and Great Mosque, framing these acts as gestures of unity. The gathering culminated in Koovakad’s claim that Nostra Aetate had grown from a “seed of hope” into a “tall tree” of interfaith collaboration. This spectacle epitomizes the conciliar sect’s wholesale betrayal of Catholic exclusivity.
