We already went through this once before.

THIS IS NOT THE VATICAN speaking. There was a group of bishops with Middle Eastern connections who met at the Vatican.

In another article it was pointed out that at least two of these bishops said that it was time to stop trying to dialog with the Muslims until they stopped killing people.

This guy is from some Middle Eastern church. Greek Melkite, to be specific. Not a Roman Catholic, but a Greek Eastern Catholic with affiliation to Rome. As are most, or all, of the other bishops who were invited to Rome as part of the synod—which means a group of bishops from some country or region of the world.

This is not the Pope, not the Vatican, not the Catholic Church that is speaking. And this guy sounds like some kind of nutball.

The article says that he is President of the Commission for the Message. I have no idea what that is. Never heard of it, and I can’t find it with google, except for references to this and similar articles, at least one of which was written by an Arab.

Don’t be taken in. This is a load of horse pucky.

Then it looks like Geer is just full of crap and attributing to the Vatican anything that is said there whether by the Swiss guards or the Pope himself. Thanks.
