“The image of JPII kissing a Koran is widely misunderstood and often defamed.”

Lame excuse. The image speaks for itself. JPII was dabbling with syncretism.

Would JPII kiss the book of Mormon??? They have as much claim to Abrahamic origins.

Would YOU kiss a book that rationalized the killing of your mother or daughter?

THE RULES:

Rule One: "Rome" is the locus of all evil in the Universe.

Rule Two: In case of doubt, see Rule One.

Corollary: "Rome" must be destroyed. All else is irrelevant.

"Would JPII kiss the book of Mormon???"

We will never know, but this we do know, JPII unconditionally loved the Mormon people.

[Romulus]

JPII was dabbling with syncretism.

Nah. JPII was dabbling with being a ham (muslims, please forgive the image). It was a life long hobby.
