How very sad, to say the least, that all those who are to be called RC are to believe in thatm that they HAVE to believe such a lie - the evil, lying, murdering god of Islam is the God of the bible. It doesn't make any difference to me WHO or WHAT teaches that, but it is wrong, dead wrong.No Catholic has to believe that. No Catholic has to believe that the Pope was correct to kiss the Koran--regardless of what the Pope intended to signify by doing so. Catholics are not required to agree with the Pope about EVERYTHING he says or does. They are required to believe what he says when he repeats what the Church has always believed and taught.

That's a bit of hair-splitting, isn't it? Please define what falls under the "...always believed and taught" category.
