This is wonderful. I plan to be glued to my TV at that time.

I love this Pope!

“Hello, Ann? ... Yeah ... the Pope ... No, the other one ... yeah .... hey, listen ... that remark of yours about converting Islamists .... can I use it?”

"Osama bin Laden accused the Pope of trying to provoke "a new crusade" against Islam."

Works for me. A Crusade is well over due.

“The prayer is likely to further incense the Muslim world” which always has its panties in a bunch anyway. May as well stir the hornets. He could incense them just by holding the crucifix towards Mecca.

Good for Benedict. Why should he be an apologist or appeaser? He’s the POPE for crying out loud!

Being able to pray for the souls of your enemies is nearly the epitome of Christianity.

Forgiveness.

"He said that religious conversion should not be "made into a triumphalist tool for scoring points"."

Luk 15:10 Likewise I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Christians score one more!!

Security for the visit will be some of the tightest New York has seen.

People don't just ask for that kind of security, they earn it.

Of course the Liberal ninnies are probably screaming bloody murder at all of us, including his appeal to conversion and on a highly sensitive landmark.

Nevermind the fact that even if it is just him praying, it shows that he will not forget that there are terrorists coming to destroy us, unlike the Liberal fixation on Global Warming.

This is why Benedict is already 10 times better than John Paul II, who responded to the global massacres of Christians by Muslims with silence.

A man who actually knows about the meaning of hope.

God bless him.

How are Christians supposed to add to their flock if they are too frightened of "rage" by calling for Muslims to convert? Benedict is brave, and I salute him.
