The Higher Committee of Human Fraternity which issued the call was established in August 2019, following the signing of the Abu Dhabi Declaration by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmad al-Tayeb. This declaration has already raised many questions because of its assertion that “the pluralism and the diversity of religions, color, sex, race and language are willed by God in His wisdom, through which He created human beings,” which is as such a heretical proposition.

The first ongoing project of the said Higher Committee, set up in the United Arab Emirates with the support of the Vatican, is the construction of the Abrahamic Family House, a multi-religious place of worship on the island of Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi, where three cubic “temples” built on exactly the same model in terms of volume and orientation will place a Christian church, a synagogue, and a mosque side by side at the points of a triangle, on an equal footing.
The May 14 prayer day will mark a new stage in this search for universal brotherhood that borrows its vocabulary from Freemasonry. In the name of the good of humanity in a health crisis that has already been turned into a health dictatorship, it constitutes a call to erase the differences between the religions.
It fits. Since the beginning of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, mainstream voices have been raised, telling us that we were moving towards a new civilization of empathy and solidarity.
The official Vatican news bulletin published the statement of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity on Saturday. Be it a coincidence or not, the interreligious day of prayer will take place on the precise day – May 14 – on which the Global Compact on Education was to be signed in Rome under the auspices of Pope Francis, before being postponed until next October. That project also touts a new “humanism” in cooperation with other religions.
Through the coronavirus crisis and the common prayer call from a Committee uniting the so-called “Abrahamic religions,” global spirituality is even more clearly at the fore.
The call of the Higher Committee for Human Fraternity, as approved by members of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, is a short communiqué calling for a prayer to God, “the All-Creator,” “for humanity” – but not to the One and Triune God whom we adore. Here below is the full text of the statement:
Dear fellow believers in God, the All-Creator, our brothers and sisters in humanity everywhere,
Our world is facing a great danger that threatens the lives of millions of people around the world due to the growing spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While we reaffirm the role of medicine and scientific research in fighting this pandemic, we should not forget to seek refuge in God, the All-Creator, as we face such severe crisis. Therefore, we call on all peoples around the world to do good deeds, observe fast, pray, and make devout supplications to God Almighty to end this pandemic. Each one from wherever they are and according to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should implore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world, to rescue us all from this adversity, to inspire scientists to find a cure that can turn back this disease, and to save the whole world from the health, economic, and human repercussions of this serious pandemic
As part of its efforts to realize the objectives of the Document on Human Fraternity, the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity suggests announcing Thursday May 14th, 2020, a day for fasting, prayers, and supplications for the good of all humanity. As such, the Committee invites all religious leaders and peoples around the world to respond to this call for humanity and together beseech God Almighty to safeguard the entire world, to help us overcome this pandemic, to restore security, stability, healthiness, and prosperity, so that, after this pandemic is over, our world will become a better place for humanity and fraternity than ever before.
