A retired Italian bishop has taken issue with Pope Francis’ statement that Islam is not responsible for terrorist violence.
“It is an ongoing assault by Islam on Christianity,” said Bishop Andrea Gemma, the former head of the Isernia-Venafro diocese. In an interview with La Fede Quotidiana, he said that he was “confused” and even “disoriented” by the Pope’s statements. “I would expect a more firm defense of Christians,” he said. “I would like a Pope more energetic in defense of our principles and our faith.”
Bishop Gemma said that Pope Benedict XVI had made a “prophetic” critique of Islam in his address at Regensburg, which should be “read, re-read, and studied.”
Monsignor Andrea Gemma: “In atto un attacco dell’Islam al cristianesimo” (La Fede Quotidiana)
Bishops need a tea party like revolt against pope che.
Sounds like odumbo got to the Pope and convinced him that ISIS (ISIL) is still only a “JV team”
“Bishop Gemma said that Pope Benedict XVI had made a “prophetic” critique of Islam in his address at Regensburg, which should be “read, re-read, and studied.””
And so should his apology for said critique. This constant nostalgia regarding Benedict’s infamous “Regensburg” address is getting old. Benedict subsequently apologized for his anti-Islam/Mohammed comments.
Can’t establish chrislam using negative vibes toward Islam ...
Then many Muslims went utterly crazy with rage “objecting” to Pope Benedict quoting this centuries old text....
And then he apologized.
