Pope Francis’s weekend trip to Morocco aims to highlight the North African nation’s tradition of Christian-Muslim ties while also letting him show solidarity with migrants at Europe’s door and tend to a tiny Catholic flock on the peripheries.

Francis will address the first two items on the agenda Saturday when he begins his 27-hour visit to Rabat, the Moroccan capital. He’ll tend to the third when he wraps up the visit with a Mass and a meeting with Moroccan clergy on Sunday.

“Morocco has always been a pioneer in initiatives of dialogue with Christians,” said Abdellah Boussouf, an Islamologist and secretary general of the Council of the Moroccan Community Living Abroad. “Christians have always enjoyed their rights in Morocco, including freedom of movement, church building and marriage.” […]

The “Human Fraternity” document outlines a shared set of values and principles common to Christians and Muslims, focusing on the dignity of every person and a rejection of violence committed in God’s name. …

Muslim-Christian ties?

It is , always had been, a Muslim war in Christians. But this national-social Marxist is also at war against Christian values.

“As Christians and Muslims, we believe in God the creator and merciful one, who has created men and women and placed them on earth so that they might live together as brothers and sisters, respecting each other’s diversity and helping each other in their need,” Francis said in a video message to Moroccans released on the eve of the trip. …
Maybe I should have included that in the quoted text. I do not remember any Biblical commandment that says “Thou shalt respect thy neighbour’s diversity, and the diversity of the stranger” ad nauseam.

Perhaps the Pope should reread the part of the Bible that talks about Ishmael and who/what he would be.....

Takes shoes off to enter mosk is admitting existence of and bowing to moon god

‘alley.’ Defacto participation in pagan rites merits immediate excommunication and

vacancy of the Pope position.

Doing the work of the devil, I see.

There can be no ties between Christ and the Satan. Except the ones Jesus binds Satan with.

This is the fruit of Vatican 2.

The pope kissing the koran. Fits right in with the Catechism of the Catholic church.

http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P29.HTM

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "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."330

Christian-Muslim ties... is an oxymoron !

The only peace we can have with Islam is the same kind of peace we had with the Nazi empire. I.e., Islam needs to be eradicated by any means possible. Islam has always meant that infidels (that's us) be killed and enslaved. The Pope of all people should know this seeing that past Popes and the Catholic church has a history of fighting murderous Muslims.

The very least Francis could be doing is raising theological questions on the assertions made in the Islamic codex (which is their code of observance and behavior) known as Sharia, Beginning with this question
http://www.theusmat.com/islamandfreewill.htm
Parties with suppressors of the faith

Francis continuing destructive confusing pontificating on temporal worldly social behavior,which has nothing to do with and avoids articles of faith and has rebuked or restrained contemplative religious orders to favor such behavior . But refuses to question and expound on the profound differences with the claims made by Islam and its followers Instead of reaching out to and defending what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. Challenging the claims that Islamist make they are following God’s command using deceit and deception when ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroy their edifice .simply because of its assertion of being monotheistic. Then winds up making a point of honoring it and placing it on an equal level because of that claim. Is leading to misguided conversions which is the result of my so called Pope playing games with this so called mono theistic cult and a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite .

He can’t read that part. He’s too busy reading the part about the RC church and Islam forming a one world religion in which everyone but Christians will bow to. It will happen, but only for a short time before Jesus puts his boot into it.
