It sure is baggage from Nazi's. Either way everyone will blame the Church. If they do nothing they will be blamed and if they try to intervene they will be blamed. So if you can't win, you go with your heart and try to win as many as you can.

Funny I don't see any other denominations stepping up to the plate, but I do see that the Jews are once again in peril and as history should have taught us. God does not like it when the Jews are picked upon.

My two cents.

“The church’s leaders believe we must talk to people and see which problems can be discussed and which merely reflect anti-democratic prejudices.”

This sounds like more catholic love of islam.....seeing how ya'll worship the same God based on the CCC.

The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day. ccc841

The differences between Islam and Christianity are clear and distinct. We can talk to Islam all day, but unless they're willing to reject the Koran, then there isn't much room for negotiation.

Francis insisted that it was an "aberration" to kill in the name of God and said religion can never be used to justify violence.

Waiting on the catholic church to apologize for the killings of all non-catholics during the Middle Ages.

Until then....the pope and catholicism has very, very little room to talk on this issue.
