Leo Dismisses Official Church Teaching that There is no Salvation in Other Religions

David Martin | The Daily Knight

Since his elevation to the Chair of Peter in May 2025, Pope Leo has spent a great deal of time dialoguing with other religions in an attempt to unite with them, but this is not approved by God. His duty is to convert them, not to join them. It is forbidden that Catholics should dignify other faiths or engage in interfaith worship, yet Leo hasn’t ceased from this errant path since his election.

He is overlooking the Church’s dogmatic teaching that there is no salvation in other religions.  Christ founded but one Church, and as such, he does not abide in other religions or engender any of their ideas or activities.

In his Papal Bull Unam Sanctam, Pope Boniface VIII dogmatically decreed:

There is one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, outside of which there is neither salvation nor remission of sins.   

In his Syllabus of Errors, Pope Pius IX condemned the heresy that “Man may, in the observance of any religion whatsoever, find the way of eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation.” Even so, Leo turns a deaf ear to this official Church teaching.

On October 28, the Catholic world was outraged over disturbing footage of Leo XIV’s livestream celebration of religious unity showing Hindu dancers and interfaith rituals inside the Vatican. This took place during a meeting of world religions held in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Nostra Aetate.

Nostra Aetate is the heretical Vatican II document that was penned in 1964 by ex-priest Gregory Baum who at the time was a practicing homosexual and who earlier had raped a Catholic nun. Nostra Aetate is all about uniting the Catholic Church with other religions.

At his weekly audience on Oct. 29, 2025, Leo said that all religions are “a path to God” and he urged clergy and laity “to involve themselves in dialogue and in collaboration with the followers of other religions, recognizing and promoting all that is good, true and holy in their traditions.” The problem is that their traditions are not holy because they are grounded in the rejection of the Catholic Church, which is Christ’s Beloved Spouse on earth.

In praise of Nostra Aetate, Leo said: “The spirit of ‘Nostra Aetate’ continues to illuminate the path of the church” and he recognizes that all religions can reflect “a ray of that truth which enlightens all men.” Really? How can non-Catholic religions reflect the rays of truth if the Author of Truth does not abide in them?

The Catholic Church Alone Claims it was Founded by Christ

With the exception of the Catholic Church, there is no religion on earth that claims it was founded by Christ. Neither Lutherans, Baptists, nor Anglicans claim that Christ set up their churches as institutions of faith. In this they are correct. The Catholic Church is the only religion that claims it was founded by Christ as an institution of faith. This is dogmatic Church teaching, which means the clergy may not contravene it. But Leo disagrees.

On April 13, he met with Islamic leaders at the mosque in Algiers, which is the third largest in the world. Leo described the mosque as ‘space proper to God’ and he respectfully removed his shoes and engaged in silent prayer with imam, something that no pope of history has ever done. The God of history is not recognized by Muslims and yet Leo dignifies them.

In October 2025, Leo blessed the setting up of a Muslim prayer room at the heart of the Vatican’s 500-year-old library. The library’s vice-prefect Giacomo Cardinali said, "Muslim scholars asked us for a room with a carpet to pray on, and we gave it to them.”   

Leo Meets with Pro-Abortion “Archbishop”

More recently on April 27, Pope Leo met at the Vatican with female archbishop Sarah Mullally who heads the Anglican Church of England. Mullally, who supports abortion and LGBTQ living imparted her “blessing” in St. Peter’s Basilica as Leo joined her in prayer. Leo should know that the Anglican Church was founded by King Henry VIII who vehemently rejected Catholicism and who behaved like a Freemason. The King Henry VIII Masonic Lodge of England No. 1757 was named after him.

Glaring Hypocrisy

Leo constantly preaches the “inclusion” of everyone in the Church while excluding the loyal Catholics. At the behest of Leo, DDF prefect Cardinal Victor Fernandez -- known for his polluted sex-oriented writings -- has put together a “document” for the excommunication of the Society of St. Pius X. Leo wants to expel the SSPX while he praises a female “archbishop” who pushes abortion and homosexuality.  

From the beginning Leo has emphasized the need to dialogue with other religions yet he has never uttered a word about converting them. He rather says that members of different faiths should “open up to one another with sincerity, attentive listening and mutual enrichment.” This is irrational. The Catholic Church has nothing to learn from other religions so how can it be “enriched” by them?

Interfaith Ecumenism is Masonically Generated

Interfaith ecumenism is condemned by the Church and is a key part of the Masonic plan to unite the Catholic Church with the world. The late Dr. Rudolf Graber, bishop of Regensburg and one of the participants at Vatican II, sent shockwaves throughout the world when on May 2, 1973, he published a short book titled, “Athanasius and the Church of Our Time.” Therein he reveals the "diabolical plot" of creating an anti-church or a "new" syncretic church that departs from the functions of the old Church and merges itself with other religions.

This present-day attack on the Church was foreshadowed in the writings of 19th century Freemason and excommunicated priest, Canon Roca (1830-1893), who predicted that “The liturgy, ceremonial, ritual and regulations of the Roman Church will shortly undergo a transformation at an ecumenical council ... to deprive the Church of its supernatural character, to amalgamate it with the world, to interweave the denominations ecumenically instead of letting them run side by side as separate confessions, and thus to pave the way for a standard world religion in the centralized world state.”

The liturgy and regulations of the Church indeed underwent "a transformation at an ecumenical council," which has served to "deprive the Church of its supernatural character" and "to amalgamate it with the world." Vatican II set in motion this ecumenical plan of uniting the Church with other world religions, because the Council was not of God. In 1990 Cardinal Ratzinger (later Benedict XVI) who knew the Third Secret of Fatima told Fr. Ingo Dollinger, a close friend and assistant of St. Padre Pio, that the Third Secret spoke of a “bad council” and “bad Mass” to come. Vatican II was this bad council, which Padre Pio rejected in the 60s.

The major objective of Vatican II was to amalgamate the Church with other world religions. The conciliar document Unitatis Redintegratio states, “The restoration of unity among all Christians is one of the principal concerns of the Second Vatican Council.” [1] Along these lines, the document also says, “It is allowable, indeed desirable that Catholics should join in prayer with their separated brethren.” [8]

Vatican II uttered all sorts of lies, e.g., “The common priesthood of the faithful… shares in the one priesthood of Christ” (LG-10) or “Muslims adore the one God… who has spoken to men” (Nostra Aetate 3). Christ did not institute a “common priesthood” nor do Muslims adore God. They adore Allala who is no God and they reject Christ who is the one God “who has spoken to men.”

In its 2000-year history, the Catholic Church has never taught such things, nor does the Bible teach such things, so how is it that the clergy have a right to teach these things?
