Jesus did not meet with rulers to explore harmony. He stood as anathema to the world system and its plotters. “Children of the light” (1 Thes 5) cannot have harmony with the children of the Devil (who is the spirit at work behind the world system).
I’m Ex-Catholic.
“Pope’s” primary focus should be Christ and preaching the truth. He’s failed to do that since he become “Pope”.
Washing the feet of Hindu’s and Muslims does nothing but encourage more ecumenism, which IMO is what the RCC is all about anyways.
Very well stated!
Pius XII.

Or “The Myth of Hitler’s Pope:How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis”, by Rabbi David G. Dalin
I don’t know how I feel about feet washing. Jesus encouraged his disciples to wash one another’s feet. Did that also mean non-Christians as well? I think it is harmless to perform this symbolic act of friendship.
On the other hand, in the context of the passage, it seemed to demonstrate that his followers should provide service and comfort among one themselves.
Obviously we do not need to have someone wash our feet anymore, because we don’t travel down dirt roads with open toe shoes are our primary form of transportation.
John 18:26 Jesus said My Kingdom is not of this world...
I would add that when the Pope is washing Muslims feet, it would confirm the notion in the presence of all of Islam that Christianity was subservient of islam.
That image is certainly not what Christ would want. It is kind of like allowing yourself the appearance of being associated with evil.
Yes, but he’s doing it in an act of symbolism to try to create “harmony” between different religions.
It’s not just the Pope that’s pushing this crazy madness for religious unity.
Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Andy Stanley, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland and a host of others in the “Protestant Church” are pushing the same deceit.
I think there is very little that followers of Christians can talk about followers of mo-ham-head on a religious level. I think the biggest thing the two leaders can talk about is the assurance of safety of their religions in their particular regions. Pope Benedict ask the Imam to do more to ensure the safety of Christians in Egypt, and the Imam cut off communication with the Vatican until Francis showed up.
"Pope embraces grand imam at historic Vatican meeting in a bid to bring the Catholic and Muslim churches together“…"
EXACTLY as Jewish prophesy says.
Esau & Ishmael End-of-Years alliance++
Beware of the Pope!
Beware of the EU!
Beware of the one mentioned in Daniel 11:21-22 who speaks with flattery!
Why Egypt? Why now? Why does this perfectly jibe with US intentions regarding Egypt and Libya-Egypt?
My Egypt posts the last two weeks explain why.
There's a reason Rome is surrounding Israel and marrying Ishmael.
It’s not a leftist lie to call out the RC church as false. Scripture doesn’t support it. I know you won’t agree, and this debate has raged for a long time, but truth is truth. The end game is close I feel, so I don’t mind speaking out.
Matthew 16:18
Psalm 83
Ezekiel 38
Facepalm.
That’s the usual stuff that will get touted out. Misread and misunderstood. He also calls Peter Satan, and he was married etc. Just cherry pick what works for you though.
The truth is that we are saved by grace, belief in Jesus Christ the son of God, crucified and risen.
I need no other mediator, I need no other authority.
the “Facepalm” was unnecessary and rude.. so you don’t agree..God be with you.
