As for other religions, Catholics recognize that other religions search among the shadows and images for the God who is unknown and yet near.

And yet fail to recognize the reciprocity of that viewpoint. From their viewpoint you are falling every bit as short of the mark.

I don't know anything about the Vedas, so you'll have to ask a historian if there is anything of value in them from a purely historical perspective.

You must be the life of the party at ecumenical meetings.
