"On November 28, 2017, the second day of his Apostolic Journey
to Myanmar, Pope Francis met the country’s 17 religious leaders – Buddhists, Muslims, Hindu, Jews, and Christians, at the Archbishopric of Yangon. Lamenting before them the “global tendency to uniformity,” the Holy Father advocated “unity in differences.” “We are brothers,” he stressed.
This meeting, which took place in the Archbishopric’s Refectory, began at 10:00 am (4:30 a, in Rome) and lasted some 40 minutes. Each of the participants took to the floor briefly. According to a Holy See press release, the main theme was that of unity in diversity.
The Pope, whose words were pronounced with a full heart in Spanish, stressed – quoting the Psalms: “That it is good to see brothers united.” “United doesn’t mean identical. Unity isn’t uniformity, including within the same Confession. Each one has his values, his riches and also his shortcomings,” he specified, as reported by Vatican Radio." Zenit
