      You have to accept that religions can be wrong about some things to have the view that they’re all different paths to God.

      Plus everyone should turn a critical eye to their own religion, every holy text and every doctrine has both wheat and chaff.

          If you reduce an entire religion down to a single axiom, then sure, they can be entirely contradictory.

          But religions aren’t like that, they are each a thousand different beliefs, rituals, and directives. There are enough similarities in message to see a commonality between them.

          Like you said, it’s all the same path to God, some paths are a bit more meandering than others, and some claim that there are no other paths.

      I don’t think you need to be so black and white. you can pick and choose what goes into your faith, and still remain 95% christian. I guess to me the label just doesn’t matter very much. also if the Pope claims that to accept all faith is christian, then that is very much what Catholic Christianity is. the Pope also plays a guiding and interpreting role, and you can choose to go with his interpretation or not.
