ROME - Interreligious dialogue is an important way to counter fundamentalist groups as well as the unjust accusation that religions sow division, Pope Francis said.
Meeting with members of the Argentine Institute for Interreligious Dialogue Nov. 18, the pope said that in “today’s precarious world, dialogue among religions is not a weakness. It finds its reason for being in the dialogue of God with humanity.”
Recalling a scene from the 11th-century poem, “The Song of Roland,” in which Christians threatened Muslims “to choose between baptism or death,” the pope denounced the fundamentalist mentality which “we cannot accept nor understand and cannot function anymore.”
“We must beware of fundamentalist groups; each (religion) has their own. In Argentina, there are some fundamentalist corners there,” he said. “Fundamentalism is a plague and all religions have some fundamentalist first cousin.”
According to its website, the Institute for Interreligious Dialogue was founded in Buenos Aires in 2002 and was inspired by then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as a way “to promote understanding among men and women of different religious traditions in our city and the world.”
The pope welcomed the members of the institute who are in Rome to reflect on the document on “human fraternity” and improving Christian-Muslim relations, which was signed Feb. 4 by Francis and Sheikh Ahmad el-Tayeb, the grand imam of al-Azhar and a leading religious authority for many Sunni Muslims.
The intention of the document, the pope explained, was a way to adopt a “culture of dialogue” while respecting each other’s unique identity.
“This is key: Identity cannot be negotiated because if you negotiate your identity, there is no dialogue, there is submission. Each (religion) with its own identity is on the path of dialogue,” he said.

This heretical pope is a plague.
Well said. The college of cardinals made a big mistake. This clown is antichrist.
The capital of the Islamic empire has a death penalty for any subhuman kufir (non-muslim) who’d dare enter it.
a billion muslims worldwide bow before it 5 times a day every day. None of them speak out against this death sentence or the segregation.
Do tell, Frank. Name names.
+100
This ####sucker is reaching back to the 11th century to find a time when Christians picked on muslims?
#### him.
My local priest still knows what’s real.
This #### can drop dead.
YES it’s FAIR to say these things now because there is NO LONGER any shadow of DOUBT that he is an ENEMY TO US, not the pope.
#### him.
“...This clown is antichrist....”
Nah.
He’s just another commie assclown posing as something else.
They come and they go. He’ll go too. People see through it.
“This is key: Identity cannot be negotiated because if you negotiate your identity, there is no dialogue, there is submission. Each (religion) with its own identity is on the path of dialogue,” he said.

Isn’t this what Fundamentalists are saying though, Mr. Bergoglio? That they are unwilling to compromise the most fundamental truths of their faith? Wouldn’t that be “submission” as you call it?

The Islamophiliac Marxist ImPopester is the plague.
What if a politically correct, agnostic leftist who has swallowed (and seems to believe) every tired liberal cliché somehow got elected pope? No need to imagine such a possibility. It has happened.
correct
EVERY pope is anti Christ. Heretics, white washed tombs full of dead man’s bones.
Its about JESUS and NOTHING more.
the ‘catholic abomination’ will never understand this. satan has blinded their eyes.
Christianity is a RELATIONSHIP with a LIVING Savior. Jesus Christ.
NOT a religion Full of statues and fake Saints and indulgences and purgatory’s and catechism’s and idol worship and and and....!!
More like the False Prophet that comes before the Anti-Christ - the Hell's version of John the Babtist.
“I would like to repeat what the Doctrine of the Church says about this: When we acknowledge international organisations and we recognise their capacity to give judgment, on a global scale – for example the international tribunal in The Hague, or the United Nations. If we consider ourselves humanity, when they make statements, our duty is to obey.” - Pope Francis
I John 2:18:18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
God — bolt of lightning —Commie Pope.
They definitely have photos on this guy.
Yep, more “wisdom” from Pope Laodicea.
