The powerful Gospel story of Jesus’ encounter with a Syro-Phoenician woman brings to mind the challenges we face today with accepting people of other faiths or no faith. If all the violence stemming from religious extremism hasn’t woken us up yet, then we are dangerously asleep. The world has become one village, one community, one family, and unless we begin to understand and accept each other more deeply, we will never be a world at peace. But what of Christ’s uniqueness? What about Christ’s claim that he is the (only) way, truth, and life and that nobody can come to God except through him? How can we view the truth of other religions in the light of Christ’s claim that he is the only way to the Father? Fr. Ron Rolheiser writes that Christian theology (and Roman Catholic theology) has always accepted and proactively taught that the Mystery of Christ is much larger than what can be observed in the visible, historical enfolding of Christianity and the Christian churches in history. Christ is larger than our churches and operates outside of them, too. He still tells the church what Jesus once told his mother: “I must be about my Father’s business.” The Body of Christ, the full body of believers, has both a visible and invisible element. In explicit, baptized believers, we see the visible Body of Christ. However, at the same time, we acknowledge that there are countless others who, for all kinds of inculpable reasons, have not been explicitly baptized and do not profess an explicit faith in Christ but who, by the goodness of their hearts and actions, must be considered as kin to us in the faith. This may come as a surprise to some, but the dogmatic teaching of the Roman Catholic Church is that sincere persons in other religions can be saved without becoming Christians, and to teach the contrary is heresy. This is predicated on understanding the God we worship as Christians. The God whom Jesus incarnated wills the salvation of all people and is not indifferent to the sincere faith of billions of people throughout thousands of years. We dishonor our faith when we teach anything different. All of us are God’s children. In the end, there is only one God, and that God is the Father of all of us, which means all of us, irrespective of religion.
