Good morning to all. I'm here today to discuss the various religious practices and beliefs that make up
diversity with you. I'm here to discuss the religious doctrines and practices of Christianity (Catholicism)
and Iglesia ni Cristo (INC).Imagine a society where everyone valued and celebrated one another's
religious difference. How would that world appear?

Our world's religious diversity is a significant component. Even if we do not share someone else's
religious beliefs or practices, it is nevertheless necessary to understand and respect them.This speech
compares and contrasts the religious beliefs and practices of Catholicism with the Iglesia ni Cristo in
order to highlight the significance of respecting religious diversity.

Christianity, Catholicism, and INC are monotheistic religions that all believe in one God, Jesus Christ,
but have varying understandings of his role and significance.

Christianity, with over 2.4 billion followers, is the world's most popular religion, claiming Jesus Christ as
the Messiah and Son of God, and the Bible as God's inspired word.

Catholicism, the largest branch of Christianity, posits the Trinity, a single, eternally existing God, and
acknowledges the Pope's legitimacy and the efficacy of sacraments.

INC, a Philippine Christian sect founded in 1914, believes in Jesus Christ as the sole Savior and Son of
God, and the Bible as God's inspired word.
