Before people who don't bother to read the entire piece start accusing this guy Finkelstein [who is me] of criticizing the Pope, please note that the author of the underlying Globe column that tasks the Pope to task is James Carroll. Finkelstein is the guy criticizing Carroll's argument. We now return to our regularly-scheduled thread.

Globe Columnist: How Dare Pope Think Catholicism Superior!

Will we ever see that same columnist denounce Islam for declaring itself superior?

I think not.

The title is sarcasm. The article itself is on-target.

Catholicism IS superior to Mohametanism.

Catholics feed the poor of ALL faiths, bringing medicine and hope and love ... just like Jesus.

Mohametans kill and maim and torture and murder and extort and rape ... just like their prophet.

When servants of Jesus are murdered, they die praying the LORD forgive their murderers.

When servants of Mohammet are accused, rightly, of their mayhem and malice, they whine that it's "open season on Muslims".

Yes, Catholicisim, or virtually any Christian faith, is VASTLY superior to the malignant death cult of the brigand and pirate Mohammet.

James Carroll is what the Irish call a "spoiled priest." There are few types of "men" more ridiculous or pathetic.

" Will we ever see that same columnist denounce Islam for declaring itself superior? "

Even garden slugs have some rudimentary sense of self-preservation -- we probably can give this columnist credit for at least that much instinct.

Of course he won't say a word about Islam.....

Why would anyone belong to a religion he believes is only partially true? I should hope that every person believes his religion is the only true faith and accord everyone else the right to believe the very same thing.

But somehow that notion deeply offends Boston Globe columnist James Carroll.

Ah, James Carroll again -- how can we miss him if he won't go away? For those who may not know, James Carroll used to be a priest -- lucky for the Church he left!

Judaism and Christianity are superior to head-chopping fanaticism.

Why are you talking about the utility of Possum farming? That has nothing to do with this article!

LOL. And despite my best efforts to ward off confusion, have a look at #6, which, just as I feared, mistakenly blames me, Finkelstein, for what Carroll wrote!
