If you are a believing Catholic, ask yourself:
- Is the Pope a sincere follower and teacher of Christ and his doctrines?
- Does the Pope actively lead his followers to understand and follow the example and the doctrines of Christ in their lives?
- Does the Pope focus on the central mission of Christ, his atoning sacrifice?
If you can’t answer “yes!” - what does that say about him?
What does it say about the Church which claims to be the same Church that Christ originally established and left Peter and the apostles in charge of?
I am interested in understanding how you see this...
Discussing with islam in general, as opposed to with more secular peaceful factions, is akin to trying convincing a crocodile to not eat you because you are vegan and respect animal life.
This is a serious problem for sincere Catholics - complicated by the fact that the previous Pope is still alive. The whole election process for Red Franky doesn’t seem guided by the Holy Spirit in any way.
I take real issue with the canonization of Pope John Paul II; many of the issues raised with this scandal occurred on his watch as well.

My favorite is #7> political correctness is an attack on reason, redefines tolerance, and works to negate our beliefs.
As a Christian, one cannot state/believe Islam is every bit as good and worthy as Christianity
Let US pray that misguided; immigration, Islam, and climate bridge builder Pope Francis gets a Colonel Boggie moment ( the lead character in the movie Bridge On The River Qwai played by Alex Guiness) and does a mea culpa and finally decides to question the results of what he’s done what he’s done and falls on the detonator which destroys the bridges he built) and resigns.
Christlam takes another baby step ... or is that Islamity?
The muzzies want only one kind of “dialog.” The kind where the human is bowed down in abject submission and the muzzy is the master.
Looks like the catholic church, under francis, has already bowed down in obedience to its replacements.
Years ago Jack Van Impe labeled ‘Chrislam’ as the attempt to synchronize Christianity with Islam.
Ah, it does specifically state "esteem for the Moslems" and not "Islam", but it also gives Islam credit where credit is supposedly due (despite the fact that prior to Vatican II Islam was condemned ... period...no "rays of Truth"). Just so the readers are aware...this is what Nostra Aetate actually teaches:
The Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in these religions. She regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men.
....
The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.

Some day, maybe not in our lifetimes, the entire Second Vatican Council will be declared anathema by a truly Catholic pope.
From your mouth to God’s ears
