What does Mohammet say about the Pope?

Well I'm sure if the Vatican asks all Muslims to obey the laws of democracy and treat women equally, all problems are solved then.

The Vatican would be so much better off if it devoted its time and resources to 'saving souls' and just stayed the hell out of politics.

Has the Vatican denounced the Nick Berg beheading or any other atrocity so far committed by the extremist terrorists? It did denounce the prison abuse debacle, very strongly.

The Vatican is trying so hard to make me leave the church.

I hope the Pope enjoys himself when there is a giant Mosque in St. Peters Square

I'm not Catholic, and at one time I even admired this Pope.

I don't recall the Vatican saying anything about the extremist muslims (Palis) pissing in the Church of the Nativity, either.

Likewise... I think as he has gotten older and frail, Fifth Columnists have taken over the operation...

I'm worried over who they are going to replace him with.

I believe there is the real potential that whoever follows him will be the last Pope over the current church.

The Catholic Church has been after Bush since day 1 about the Iraq war, to my knowledge has not had anything to say about Berg, heck at the risk of beating a dead horse, they have not answered to my satisfaction all of the child abuse that has taken place over the years. I've been Catholic since birth, I will no longer be a part of this.

Vatican calls for openness to Muslim immigrants

Typical AP misleading headline. As I read it, the main thrust of the announcement is to remind Catholics of the duty to maintain the traditions of their faith while remaining tolerant of other faiths.

**
The pronouncement really messes up here:

Besides points of agreements on belief in God...

***
Their god must be Satan because my God does not call for blood sacrifice and the killing of innocents that these disgusting people engage in.

How about the Vatican inviting them "without prejudice" into Vatican City first. .....just to see how it goes.

The Vatican enjoys the status of an independent nation. I just wonder what their quota for non converted Muslim immigrints is?

Wow. So the problem is equality between the sexes. Silly me, I thought that there may be an issue when Muslim fanatics call us kufrs the children of pigs and monkeys, and behead us in order to recruit new Muslim soldiers to their cause.

The Palestinian Arab terrorist groups have been making great strides in recruiting women to their cause. Well done, I guess!

Not that long ago I read where the church is growing at it's fastest pace in Africa, while starting to loose ground in other nations.

Since Africa is predominently Muslim, I wonder if they aren't shifting policies to be more favorable with their newly emerging base?
