Vatican’s Interreligious Dialogue Promotes Religious Indifferentism Under the Guise of Peace
EWTN News reports that the Vatican, through Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad and Monsignor Indunil Janakaratne Kodithuwakku Kankanamalage, has issued a message for the Buddhist feast of Vesak, urging religious leaders not to be “complicit through silence or fear” in the face of division, and calling Buddhists and Christians to promote an “unarmed and disarming” peace rooted in truth, compassion, and mutual trust. The message, citing antipope Leo XIV’s words for the 2026 World Day of Peace, defines peace as “a gift that seeks to dwell within the human heart,” and emphasizes that religious traditions “can offer a vital contribution” to healing the world’s wounds. It highlights the convergence of Buddhist and Christian teachings on peace, quoting the Buddha’s teaching on non-hatred and Jesus’ command to love one’s enemies, concluding with a call for Buddhists and Christians to “walk together on this path.” This message is a textbook example of the post-conciliar apostasy, reducing the Catholic Church’s divine mission to a naturalistic humanitarian project and treating Buddhism—a false religion devoid of supernatural grace—as a legitimate partner in the quest for peace, thereby denying the unique salvific role of Jesus Christ and His Church.
