The meeting has been organized by Marek Halter, a French Jewish author known for promoting religious tolerance who has organized similar initiatives in the past. …

Relations between the Vatican and the Muslim world were strained in recent years and Al-Azhar, Sunni Islam’s Cairo-based highest seat of learning, broke off ties with Francis’s predecessor Benedict XVI for what it regarded as controversial statements. …

This pope is clueless

I don’t think the Pope is clueless~~~there just seems to be some strange surrender to islam. It’s as if everyone is so afraid of islam.
We need a warrior Pope! Or some leader with a backbone. Until then islam will continue to do whatever they want.
Look at all the Christians being killed in the Middle East~~where’s the outrage?

The pope is clueless. He thinks he can come to agreement with Lucifer. He suffers from the Gandhian delusion that one can love their enemies into proper behavior. Muslims desire to subjugate all who are not muslim. At a minimum they will enslave us. More likely they will slaughter us.

Loving one’s enemies does not require us to roll over and allow them to kill us. The pope has shown NO leadership in terms of being outraged by the murder of Christians. He ignores it completely. Instead he spews platitudes about not judging people and obeying your conscience.

Neither is Francis!

He’s a wishy-washy weather vane.

He and Chuck will make an excellent pair to guide the world into the abyss.

What do you think a pope is?

There is no office of ‘pope’ in Yehova’s word, so who do you think he represents? Certainly not Yehova.

The pope leads the lost to the broad gate of destruction.

Will he follow the tradition of planting a big juicy one on the Koran?
