I agree.
What is it going to take? I'm getting tired of our leaders letting us down when it comes to these bullies.

The Pope should have affirmed them and added no less an authority than than Thomas Aquinas exposed the truth about Islam in his
Summa Contra Gentiles. Then we all could have sat back to watch the fireworks!

Pope makes remarks about violence and religion, with specific references to Islam.
Media and Muslims mischaracterize his speech and attack him.
Pope takes nothing back, but says he's sorry peoples' feelings were hurt, and that wasn't the point.
"Conservatives" mischaracterize his speech and attack him.

"This was a citation from a medieval text which doesn't express in any way whatsoever my personal opinion," What do you disagree with?

I'm not Catholic, and I don't get it. If they weren't his personal views, then why did he say anything?

Stop apologizing and proclaim a crusade!

So, if the Pope does not "in any way" agree with what he quoted, what DOES he believe?

Does he say what his personal opinion is? No.

If you read the entire argument the Pope presented, the 14th century sentence he quoted was a premise to be argued with, not accepted at face value. It was posited to elicit counterarguments. The Pope even quoted the pre-jihad Mohammed, who was much more prone to tolerance of other religions (because he was in a position of weakness) to give Muslims a hint at how they might challenge it.
He did not cave in or give ground. He basically said that Islam has internal inconsistencies on the subject of using violence to spread its religion. He did not say how he personally has sifted these inconsistencies.
I encourage everyone to read his original speech. It is linked on this site someplace.

The Pope said what he said. I hope the European (Western Empire) leaders are bright enough to understand what the Pope was trying to tell them through this Byzantine Emperor.

Dear Pope,
No matter what you say or do, Muslims want you dead.

It isn't over yet...
I suggest the Pope isn't sorry for telling the truth.
Let's hang tough...the Pope will!
BTW, I'm not Catholic but I believe in this Pope. He won't let us down. Hang tough.
