CAIRO - Egypts Christians are optimistic following the first Coptic mass in Saudi Arabia. Dozens of Coptic Christians attended the mass at a tourist facility in Riyadh.
The mass, Egypts Christians said, reflects the tremendous changes happening in Saudi Arabia. It even portends more change in that great country in the future, said Father Polis Halim, spokesman of the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church. Saudi Arabia is showing an admirable degree of tolerance that gives us a lot of hope.
The story began in May when Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz visited Saint Marks Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Cairo and met with Coptic Pope Tawadros II. The crown prince invited Tawadros to visit Saudi Arabia and check on the condition of the Copts mostly expat Egyptians living there.

I wrote that Catholics have stated numerous times here that protestants and Orthodox are heretics. Ill leave it to you to decide if you can be a heretic and a Christian at the same time.
In case we pass each other in the dark, Merry Christmas.
Say Amen Brother.
yes as have I. There is nothing Christian about the pope of Rome.
they have always maintained that Protestants were going to hell. I was told this by all my catholic friends in early grade school. That’s what the Catholic church teaches. It is presently masquerading as a Christian denomination to suck people in and take complete control. That’s what its always been about...control and power over the masses. In the middle ages it burned at the stake thousands of so called heretics as did the so called high protestant churches such as the Anglican/Episcopal type churches.
Im not interested in refighting the Thirty Years War. Lets leave the religious conflict to clashes between the Sunnis and Shia. Live and let live. Just dont cry about being so mistreated when youre just as guilty.
must have touched a nerve. You just need to read a history book or two. By the way....we are all guilty....but facts are facts.
Why would you say anything touched a nerve in me? I am only commenting on the insanity of infighting instead of uniting to face external threats. And why would I need to read an history books? I’ve read plenty.
All who believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior ARE Christians. They may be in different ROOMS, and decorate it differently, but they are all in the house of the Lord if they believe in Him.
“they have always maintained that Protestants were going to hell. I was told this by all my catholic friends in early grade school. Thats what the Catholic church teaches.”
Interesting that your source of proof is little children.
You are quite the scholar.
