Vatican recognize any religion other than Catholicism? Obviously the Pope wants a one-way street of conversion to Christianity. While waxing eloquent about service and love, the Pope through his chauvinist and hardline theory of "only one true religion" makes it clear that the tolerance and goodness displayed by Hinduism counts for nothing. Hinduism is non-judgmental, and Hindus have graciously accepted the Christians amongst them. The Hindus simply ask the Church to spare them the fate of Europe and Americas. Satisfied with their religion, the Hindus do not like outsiders seeking to change their religious and political demography through orchestrated mass-conversions. But the Pope insists on mass-conversions. He leaves no incentive in being nice and accommodating. If the Communists had been allowed to operate legally in the USA, they would have - through their zeal and trickery and sophistry - changed the very nature of the United States. The US did the right thing to preserve its inherent nature by banning the Communists outright. But the Hindus are willing to live with Christians. They ask for only one thing: that the Church not seek to eliminate Hinduism through conversions, thus changing India forever. The existing Christians can live freely without trying to convert others.
