It is clearly a major need for this century to find ways of both treasuring our own wisdom traditions/ worldviews/ religions as being not only "true for me" but accessing real truth in some way, while at the same time, honoring and respecting others. "Everything goes ", "it's true for me" or "there is no truth" are inadequate.
Also, the big divide seems to be between those who KNOW THE TRUTH but have never heard of hubris and what happens to people who fall into it, and those who realise ,in the words of my own tradition, that we see in a mirror, darkly ( and if you've looked in Roman mirrors of metal, you feel the metaphor better). I speak as one who is yet again dipping a toe into theories of mind and consciousness and ( gulp) quantum physics.
btw, who elected Tarcisio as deputy Pope? Doesn't happen, though good-old-boy bureaucracy rules in Rome.
And as an RC I do apologise to those "we" once called "Judeos perfidiosos" even if they don't all care. It was not nice. Like slavery, suttee, and various other obsolete ideas.
