Papal Notes - Francis Hails The Buddha

Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.
Deuteronomy 6:14

"Vesak is a holy day observed by Buddhists worldwide. 

This day honors the important events surrounding the life of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. On May 1, 2022, through the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Pope Francis addressed Buddhists, equating Buddhism and Christianity and placing them on the same level.
This is the embodiment of the modern ecumenical movement. As a result, the uniqueness of the Christian faith and witness is
diminished, and the false notion that Christianity and all other religions worship the same God is promoted. 

During the Feast of Vesak, the Vatican issued the following statement:
The Buddha and Jesus Christ direct their followers to transcendent values, albeit in different ways. The noble truths of the Buddha explain the origin and causes of suffering and indicate the eightfold path that leads to the cessation of suffering. “It is the fading away and cessation of that very same craving with nothing left over; giving it away, letting it go, releasing it, and not adhering to it” (Dhammacakkappavattanasutta, 56.11). If practiced, the teaching is a cure to the ceaseless grasping that leads to greed and power-plays.”
Rome is praising and encouraging Buddhist practice. The ecumenical movement is determined on spreading a counterfeit gospel by leaving people in their errors and in a false religious system." AdventMessenger
