Vatican’s ecumenism comes at the expense of Egypt’s human rights
Pope Francis, who is “building bridges to build peace” around the world, has naturally reached out to embrace Sunni Muslims. Last month, for the first time after years of Vatican silence, Pope Francis summoned to his private library in Rome grand imam Ahmed El-Tayeb of Cairo’s Al-Ahzar Mosque Institute. Absent a press release before this event, the Pope was quoted as saying, “this meeting is the message” – leading all to dwell on the meaning and purpose of their 25 minutes together. Christians, especially Egyptian Coptic Christians, have observed the Catholic pope give the “sign of peace” to the grand imam who has yet been unwilling to denounce ISIS. Unity existed between the two religious branches previous to former Pope Benedict XVI condemning Islam’s inclination to violence.
One of these days Francis is going to drop the mask and shout “Allahu Akbar!”
Big mistake for the Copts in the seventh century to think that the Muslims would be better rulers than the Eastern Roman Empire.
A sign of our times... A president who puts Americans last and a Pope who puts Christians last.
The Pope and obummer, two pees!
