This is part of Statement 30 of the conclusion of the Vatican II document "Orientalium Ecclesiarium" Decree on the Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite. Let them pray also that the strength and the consolation of the Holy Spirit may descend copiously upon all those many Christians of whatsoever church they be who endure suffering and deprivations for their unwavering avowal of the name of Christ.

The article is here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-pope-francis-every-religion-is-a-way-to-arrive-at-god/ Now, let's break down the article, and analyze what is said and the context in which it was said. " Pope Francis today told young people of different faiths that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.” Addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore just before departing for his return flight to Rome, Pope Francis turned to one of the central themes of his pontificate – inter-religious dialogue." So far, so good. The Pope is speaking to a group of young people of di...
