Francis’ May 7, 2019 video message to the people of North Macedonia:

“The particular beauty of your country comes from the variety of cultures and ethnic and religious affiliations that inhabit it.”[1]

According to Francis, “the particular beauty” of a country “comes from the variety of religious affiliations that inhabit it”. This is astounding heresy and apostasy.

Francis’ May 7, 2019 discourse during meeting with “the authorities, representatives of civil society and members of the diplomatic corps” of Bulgaria:

“Here, in fact, the different religious identities of Orthodox, Catholics, other Christians, Muslims and Jews, and the ethnic differences between Macedonians, Albanians, Serbs, Croats, and persons of other backgrounds, have created a mosaic in which every piece is essential for the uniqueness and beauty of the whole. That beauty will become all the more evident to the extent that you succeed in passing it on and planting it in the hearts of the coming generation. Every effort made to enable the diverse religious expressions…”[2]

This is blunt apostasy. The apostate Francis says that it “is essential for the uniqueness and beauty of the whole” society to have the presence of false religions, including Islam and Judaism. He encourages the members of these false religions to pass on and plant their false faiths “in the hearts of the coming generation”. Francis closes by saying that “every effort” should be made “to enable the diverse religious expressions”. What an apostate.

Francis’ June 2, 2019 “homily during Liturgy for the Beatification of seven Greek-Catholic Bishops”:

“This place, filled with meaning, evokes the unity of your people, which is found in the diversity of its religious expressions. All these things constitute a spiritual patrimony that enriches and distinguishes Romanian culture and national identity.”[3]

The illogical heretic Francis says that unity is found in the differences of religion. He says these differences in religion enrich culture.

Francis’ June 9, 2019 “message for Missionary Month”:

“Here I am reminded of the words of Pope Benedict XVI at the beginning of the meeting of Latin American Bishops at Aparecida, Brazil, in 2007. I would like to repeat these words and make them my own: ‘Yet what did the acceptance of the Christian faith mean for the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean? For them, it meant knowing and welcoming Christ, the unknown God whom their ancestors were seeking, without realizing it, in their rich religious traditions.’”[4]

Francis quotes the apostate Benedict XVI who said false, non-Christian religions are “rich religious traditions”.
