This is amazing. How sad is it that
the pope is bowing to political correctness.
On Monday
the Bishop of Rome addressed Catholic followers regarding the dire importance
of exhibiting religious tolerance. During his hour-long speech, a smiling Pope
Francis was quoted telling the Vatican’s guests that the Koran, and the
spiritual teachings contained therein, are just as valid as the Holy Bible.
“Jesus
Christ, Mohammed, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an
entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has
been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This,
however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and
as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of
peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for
we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by.
We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the
time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors
over differences in reference to their God.”
The
pontiff drew harsh criticisms in December after photos of the 78-year-old
Catholic leader was released depicting Pope Francis kissing a Koran. The Muslim
Holy Book was given to Francis during a meeting with Muslim leaders after a
lengthy Muslim prayer held at the Vatican.
Pope Benedict
XVI has courted several controversies since being elected as St. John Paul II’s
replacement in 2013. Francis has gone on record to say that homosexuals are not
to be judged, Proselytism is nonsense and has endorsed the usage of
contraceptive by Catholics.
The Vatican
will meet again with Muslim leaders in late February where they plan to talk
about further steps that can be taken to spread understanding and awareness of
the Islamic religion.
Comments
The Koran and the Bible are not the same and
Islam is not just a religion; it’s a call to global ethnic cleansing with no
one else left on earth but Muslims.
Also, I don’t think Pope Francis has endorsed
contraceptives and the Washington Post may have too much left-wing spin.
This comment may not be a symptom of Pope
Francis’ naïve’ socialist leanings, the rumor that he has joined the Democrat
Party, his delusional belief in global warming or his cozy relationship with
the UN, but his timing is confusing and will be misunderstood by both sides.
Pope Pius XII supported the “just war” theory
when Christian soldiers signed up to defeat Hitler. With the Jihadists, we have
the same “just war”. His olive branch
would make more sense after radical Islam is eradicated by Muslim reformers. Right
now, it further destroys his credibility and emboldens our enemies.
I doubt that Muslims will edit the hatred of
“infidels” out of their Koran, ever. Even though their refusal to do so makes
no sense at all. I’m afraid Islam is an aggressive, destructive, dangerous
political ideology, not a religion that does not fit with their historical and
natural inclination to pursue free market trade. I think their leaders are as
corrupt as ours are. If we can all get better leaders, anything may be
possible.
