Wrapping up his historic trip to Iraq yesterday, Pope Francis said the Church's commitment to dialogue with other churches and with other religions flows from the Gospel, but some Catholics disagree, the Catholic News website reports today (March 8, 2021).
"Often you must take a risk" to promote harmony, he told reporters yesterday as he flew back to Rome from Baghdad.
There are some criticisms by Catholics: "The Pope isn't courageous, he's reckless. He's doing things against Catholic doctrine. He's a step away from heresy"
Still, he said he has become convinced that God wants the Church -- and all humanity for that matter -- to continue promoting a sense of belonging to one human family.
