Spiritualism vs religion

Pope Francis has entered Jordon and done something no pope before him has done: he has invited both a Jewish and an Islamic leader to join him in his tour of the Middle East, including Jeruselem. It is an experiment, if you will, on using spirituality to overcome religion in seeking effective dialogue.

I may be a little bias ,but recalling we had a Pope shot by a fanatic I am in awe of his example . I have been proclaiming that there is nothing inherently good nor evil about religion( which to me is a spiritual path.) Good Orderly Direction is above all

When I listen to the words of YUSUF ISLAM I may tend to stand next to the part of the proverbial blind man's Indian elephant and experience the words from my point of view but isn't that what ecumenism should be

Wow that's something I have to follow. I am not familiar with the pope but so far I like what he did

I do not believe in religions
because I believe in God
If God is one
why there are so many religions?

So God is what bring us together,
unites us in oneness,
where religions
are what separate us,
scatter us into our egos.

Religion put itself before God!

Therefore
I do not worship any religion
therefore
I only worship
God.

If the pope (and I believe he does ) places true brotherhood above religion then it seems he is guided by the Holy Spirit . My dearly departed sister took me to a Charismatic Catholic conference where the people seemed more guided by the Holy Spirit , but there where still those traditional that want to make our language above the peace beyond understanding sometimes understood through the gift of tongues which dispels the abuse of such beautiful words as Love &Brotherhood not darkened or polluted by race creed and politics.

"It is an experiment, if you will, on using spirituality to overcome religion in seeking effective dialogue."

Neither! It is simply a political step applied to balance the divine universe for us, oh so lost infidels... ~smiles~
