A few weeks ago there was news of Pope Leo XIV proclaiming that salvation is only in Jesus Christ alone. He went on to say that although Mary is certainly an important figure in Scripture, that it is not in Mary there is salvation. That is quite a bold statement.

Recently Pope Leo XIV visited the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey where the imam invited the Pope to pray. In respect, Pope Leo removed his shoes and toured the mosque in silence, but declined to pray. All accounts of the visit indicated that the Pope was gracious and warm. Some people felt Pope Leo XIV should have used it as an opportunity to make it a symbolic gesture of global unity. Others believed he was making a clear distinction between respecting another religion while at the same time
not participating in its worship. Once again, another bold move.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB

Please, I beg you to read this entire article.
