All Religions Are Paths to God? - Orthodox Response to Pope Francis, Trent Horn & Taylor Marshall
 Fr. Peter Heers and Constantine Zalalas discuss the recent public statements by Pope Francis. "All religions are paths to reach God. They are—to make a comparison—like different languages, different dialects, to get there. But God is God for everyone. If you start to fight saying 'my religion is more important than yours, mine is true and yours isn't', where will this lead us? There is only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Some are Sheik, Muslim, Hindu, Christians; they are different ways to God." - Pope Francis, September 13th, 2024Join our LIVE Q&A with Fr.
