Inter-religious Understanding
The original text in which Fr. Anthony evaluates the differences between religions by formulating this concept: "All religions are bearers of truth, but not all of them are Truth". Hence the exhortation to all of us to integrate what is partially true in the various religions, cultures and philosophies with the acquisitions of science, technology, psychology and anthroposophy.
Thus we will see the ferment of scientific research and the fertility of technology, to hurry up the flourishing of a new humanism which, in a different relationship between man and technological progress, will arise against the backdrop of the vast mystical and spiritual patrimony of humanity. lay the foundations of a civilization based on an equitable distribution of the planet's resources among countries, peoples and races, all destined to merge into one people of God, and encourage the longing of every man to rise spiritually and morally. The religion of religions, in the thought of Father Anthony, also means to bring humanity back to one family, overcoming historical, geographical and environmental divisions. The appeal is addressed to all of us, free spirits attracted by the immensity and fragrance of the harvest in the hour, as Tagore sang, "which invites the joyful feast of the Universe".
