Oho, so the koran was dictated by an angel but the Bible was just by witnesses,that’s when I gave up struggling through this mess
Dope big dope
What the hell is the matter with him? Has political correctness destroyed his brain?
I always wondered how so many people in the 20th century supported and allowed evil men to take over and destroy so much of humanity...stalin, Hitler etc.
I’m starting to realize that on a whole, mankind wants to be enslaved like a bunch of pussy surrender monkeys and most people will bend over backwards to help evil take over. It as if 60 or 70% of the population wants to be ruled over with an iron fist rather than make their own way in the world.
Look at how far we have fallen in just 6 years let alone the last 10.

As a Catholic, I am EMBARRASSED!!
A dupe and a dope.
How does he retain the title cardinal or even catholic?
The homo is a fool.
Another post-Vatican II apostate.
The cardinal suffers from dementia senile
AMERICANS BEWARE!!!
Those who maintain that understanding jihad as a holy war constitutes a sort of deviation from the true Islamic tradition are therefore not telling the truth, and history sadly demonstrates that violence has characterized Islam since its origin, and that Mohammed himself systematically.
But the biggest difference between Christianity and Islam concerns the crucial issue of understanding the human person. This is shown by the fact that many Islamic countries have not accepted the declaration of human rights promulgated by the United Nations in 1948, or have done so with the reservation of excluding the norms that conflict with Qur’anic law which means practically all of them.
In Islamic tradition, in fact, the concept of the equality of all human beings does not exist, nor does, in consequence, the concept of the dignity of every human life. Sharia is founded upon a threefold inequality: between man and woman, between Muslim and non-Muslim, and between freeman and slave.

You give him way too much credit.
Useful idiot.
Because even Popes are bound more by convention (”Cardinals are untouchable.”) than by common sense or concern for the faithful.
Every day, some Cardinal makes a statement that ought to get him reassigned to mowing lawns in the Vatican gardens—if he isn’t too stupid to run a lawn mower. Nothing happens.
Pope Benedict created Burke and Wuerl Cardinals side-by-side, even though Burke had already published an article saying that Wuerl and others who give Communion to pro-aborts are committing a mortal sin. Burke should have told the Pope: “Either me or Wuerl, but not both.”

MUSLIMS - Beheading Infidels: How Allah ‘Heals the Hearts of Believers’
Beheading Infidels: How Allah ‘Heals the Hearts of Believers’
To understand why the Islamic State not only decapitates its “infidel” captives, but also mutilates and mocks their corpses—and all to sadistic laughter—one need only turn to the Koran and deeds of Islamic prophet Muhammad.
The Koran exhorts believers to “Fight them [those who oppose Islam], Allah will torment them with your hands, humiliate them, empower you over them, and heal the hearts of the believers, removing the rage from their hearts” (Koran 9:14-15).
As usual, to understand the significance of any Koran verse, one must turn to the sura and hadith—the biography and anecdotes of Muhammad, respectively—for context.
Thus we come to the following account concerning the slaughter of ‘Amr bin Hisham, a pagan Arab chieftain originally known as “Abu Hakim” (Father of Wisdom) until Muhammad dubbed him “Abu Jahl” (Father of Stupidity) for his staunch opposition to Islam.
After ‘Amr was mortally wounded by a new convert to Islam during the Battle of Badr, Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud, a close companion of Muhammad, saw the “infidel” chieftain collapsed on the ground. So he went to him and started abusing him. Among other things, Abdullah grabbed and pulled ‘Amr’s beard and stood in triumph on the dying man’s chest.
According to Al-Bidaya wa Al-Nihaya (“The Beginning and the End”), Ibn Kathir’s authoritiative history of Islam, “After that, he [Abdullah] cut his [‘Amr’s] head off and bore it till he placed it between the hands of the Prophet. Thus did Allah heal the hearts of the believers with it.”
This, then, is the true significance of Koran 9:14-15: “Fight them, Allah will torment them with your hands [mortally wounding and eventually decapitating ‘Amr], humiliate them [pulling his beard], empower you over them [standing atop him], and heal the hearts of the believers, removing the rage from their hearts [at the sight of his decapitated head].”
The logic here is that, pious Muslims are so full of zeal for Allah’s cause that the only way their inflamed hearts can be at rest is to see those who oppose Allah and his prophet utterly crushed—humiliated, mutilated, decapitated. Then the hearts of the believers can be at ease and “healed.”
This is surely one of the reasons behind the Islamic State’s dissemination of gory videos and pictures of its victims: the new “caliphate” is trying to heal the hearts of every believer inflamed for the cause of Allah.
If this sounds too farfetched, consider the following picture of a decapitated “infidel” from the Islamic State’s websites. The Arabic caption to the left says “healing for hearts”—a clear reference to the aforementioned Koran verse:
Koran 96:15-16 also alludes to the fate of ‘Amr and offers more context applicable to the Islamic State: “No! If he does not desist, we will surely drag him by the forelock—a lying, sinning forelock.”
