En un discurso reciente en una reunión interreligiosa con jóvenes en Singapur, se citó al Papa Francisco diciendo: “Todas las religiones son caminos hacia Dios”. Este comentario ha causado bastante confusión y preocupación con respecto a lo que la Iglesia enseña sobre Jesucristo, la Iglesia y el camino a la salvación. 

In a recent address at an interreligious meeting with young people in Singapore, Pope Francis was quoted as saying, “All religions are paths to God.”  This remark has caused quite a bit of confusion and concern regarding what the Church teaches about Jesus Christ, the Church, and the path to salvation.
