UK [Catholic] Diocese Celebrates Muhammad, Eastern Guru

Southwark 'interfaith event' reflects growing religious indifferentism

LONDON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A south London diocese is marking the third Sunday of Advent by honoring the founders of Islam and Sikhism alongside Christ.

The archdiocese of Southwark is promoting a "Christmas, Milad and Gurpurab Celebration," a Dec. 15 "interfaith event" scheduled to be held at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in the borough of Lambeth.

"If you are local to the church please consider going along in order to join in building friendships among people of different faiths," read a recent archdiocesan social media post advertising the celebration.

"Honoring the births of Jesus Christ, Muhammad and Guru Nanak," the gathering will include "speeches by Christian, Muslim and Sikh speakers, Christmas hymns, Islamic nasheeds and Sikh Gurbani poetry," as well as "Hindu devotional songs of praise for Jesus and Muhammad."

The "interfaith event" reflects a growing "interreligious" trend within the Church in the West. Throughout 2019, for example, the Vatican has devoted increasing energy to Christian-Muslim "dialogue" — a push many faithful Catholics are denouncing as a thinly-disguised promotion of religious indifferentism.

Last week, Pope Francis joined with Ahmed el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Egypt's al-Azhar Mosque, to petition the United Nations to declare Feb. 4 the annual World Day of Human Fraternity.

"The pluralism and the diversity of religions are willed permitted by God in His wisdom."

These people know this, it’s pretty basic stuff.

Looking forward, he also forecast: "It is probable that clerics who saw no danger in the rise of homosexual networks in the Church will also see no danger in the spread of a supposedly 'peaceful' fellow religion — even though that religion has a long history of subjugating other cultures and religion."

‘Subjugating’?

That is the understatement of the millennia.

Is subjugation a synonym for mass murder, rape and pillage.

I think the murder of millions upon millions and the forced conversion of millions more deserves a little stronger word.

Maybe they will think of a stronger word when the muslims start throwing their homosexual clerics off of high buildings.

Don’t be so judgmental!

It’s their culture.
