Inter-religious meeting in Ur

On March 6, 2021, as planned, Pope Francis met with many Muslim religious representatives in the Plain of Ur. Ur was the city where Abraham was born. There he delivered a speech exhorting mankind to abandon all wars, weapons and violence; all walls, capitalism and consumerism and to embrace participation in property, social welcoming and universal fraternity to be able to have a stable peace.

He also declared that, imitating Abraham, we must leave behind our status quo life of attachments and enter the path of concessions. This way would lead to peace and love where we all need one another. We should stop considering others as "them" rather than "us;" we cannot be "against" someone but "for" everyone. Only by taking these steps can we be fully fraternal and achieve peace on earth.

So, we have a repeat of the same socialist-syncretist show that Pope Francis has been performing constantly, this time staged around the house of Abraham, whose walls are very close to the place where his inter-confessional tent was erected, see second row below.
