Big Ben, has a nice ring to it! If you remember, John Paul was very instrumental in the downfall of the Soviet Union, by calling the Christians in Eastern Europe to stand against their oppressors, perhaps this old man has some of the same metal? At any rate, it was high time someone held up this "religion of peace" to some serious scrutiny. The Vatican has been very lucky in recent years in choosing great men to lead the church, I'm impressed and jbyam, I'm not even Catholic.

I can see Jesus saying what the Pope said; I just don’t see him apologizing!

Agreed. I'm not Catholic either but the Pope is one of few Christian leaders to challenge Islam to join civilized society.
It is also worth noting that it took less than 48 hours for some Islamic Iman to issue a Fatwah against the Pope . . . for MERE WORDS! Truthful words, to be sure, but MERE WORDS nevertheless.
It has been 5 years since September 11 and I've yet to hear about a single Fatwah being issued against those who profaned Islam by murdering 3000 innocent people. Has there been such a Fatwah? Will there ever be?

Does anyone know the Pope's webaddress? I'd like to send him a lettter of support.

I'm thrilled about the speech. And, so far, that no apology has been forthcoming. It is a conversation we need to have.
