Bergoglio's Precedent for "All-Religions-Lead-to-God"
There is an underreported connection between Francis and the San Francisco-based 'United Religions Initiative (URI)'.
The United Religions Initiative was founded in 1995 by William Swing, a lay bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the San Francisco Bay Area and has regional offices in 83 countries. Lee Penn wrote (NewOxfordReview.org, December 1998) that URI works closely with the United Nations and has received funding from foundations, including such headed by George Soros and Bill Gates.
Those responsible at the URI describe "proselytism" as the work of "fundamentalists", a vision and diction to which Bergoglio feels committed.
In 2007, the URI celebrated its 10th anniversary out of all locations in the cathedral of Buenos Aires. Cardinal Bergoglio attended the event.
Already before, Bergoglio was a well-known and praised supporter of the URI in Buenos Aires.
