Pope Francis appeals for religious unity at stadium mass in Indonesia

The main topic of his journey was the interreligious unity that was proclaimed in the declaration signed at the largest dome in Southeast Asia, the Istiqlal Mosque, which read” for the sake of humanity.”

” Range violence and conflict are the hallmarks of the world trend of dehumanization,” says one author. It is especially concerning that church frequently uses this tactic,” it said.

” Religion should have the obligation of upholding and upholding the integrity of every individual living.”

Pope Francis underlined his message of unification in a speech before rulers of Indonesia’s six recognized faiths- Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism.

” We are all boys, all travellers, all on our approach to God, beyond what differentiates us”, he said.

A drums group, which frequently performs in Islamic ceremonies, welcomed the pope to the dome.

After settling in, he and Nasaruddin listened to a passage from the Bible and a section from the Quran that a youthful deaf child recited.
