#1 They just now acknowledge this? Is this their response to the Archbishop being killed?

#4 recently retired as the Vaticanâs foreign minister

Worst part is, he had to retire before he was able to speak up about this elephant in the room.

#6 Al-Q doesn't need explosives to destroy the vatican. All they need to do is tell them the sky is blue and they will all have a collective aneurism....

#7 Actually, this guy probably did have to retire form the Vatican before he coudl speak freely.

A soft-headed "Ecuminism" has been the one weak spot in the current Pope's way of doing things.

He has been so concerned with ecuminism that he sometimes appears to have lost contact with the evangelical core of the Catholic and Apostolic Church. Namely, that you tolerate the other religions while you try also to communicate to them and teach them the central truths of Christianity, and how to make those beliefes a daily part of thier lives and their society.

He got the first part right (tolerate), but seems to have completely lost the second.

Really - a pagan ceremony by an African animist, a Shinto ceremony, and a Native American "prayer" to the "Great SpiritS" were all allowed to be offered up in Catholic Cathedrals by JP-II. Could you imagine asking and being allowed to say the Our Father in one of the local Mosques? (Without subsequently being beaten to death by an angy mob of "seething" Moslems).

Time to make Tolerance a 2 way street in the Moslim world.

#8 WTF did this guy think the Islamic world was all about before he had this amazing revelation? Did he think it was all like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood or something????

Memo to Cardinal Tauran: Muslims don't think your religious beliefs are merely wrong; they think you should die for being a Christian. Wake up!!
