Papal Notes - May 14, a day of Blasphemy

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them....
2 Peter 2:1

"Pope Francis has endorsed the call to “the believers of all the religions to unite together spiritually on May 14 in a day of prayer and fasting, to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus pandemic.”

The goal of this ‘call to action’ is to have all religions, faiths and sects engage in their respective religious activities according to their own traditions- the Muslims will pray, the Hindus will fast, the Sikhs will do good deeds, and all vice-versa, in the belief that these activities will appeal to God in some way and he will respond by ending the pandemic.

The idea of this universal day of prayer comes from the High Committee for Human Fraternity....
The document also states that “each one from wherever they are and according to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should implore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire
world…” which suggests if the teachings of religion’s faith say they ought to pray to their own deities, such as Muslims to Allah or Hindus to Vishnu, then that is an appropriate response and course of action, as the Christian God will in some way accept or receive those prayers."
