ROME — Pope Francis asserted this week Christians, Jews and Muslims, all worship the one God and are “brothers and sisters.”
“Jesus taught us to welcome one another as brothers and sisters,” the pontiff told a delegation from the Bologna Mosque in northern Italy. “And this is true first of all for us, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, who worship the One God.”
Members of all three faiths refer to Abraham as “our father in faith,” he said, “albeit in different ways.”
“In today’s world, our witness of fraternity is indispensable and very precious,” he added.
Sincere and respectful dialogue between Christians and Muslims “is a duty for us who want to obey God’s will,” he contended.
Every believer “must feel free to propose – never impose! – his religion to other people, believers or not,” he said. “This excludes any form of proselytism, understood as exerting pressure or threats.”
In addition, “marriages between people of different religions should not be an opportunity to convert the spouse to his or her religion,” he declared.
The question of whether Muslims and Christians worship the same God has been hotly debated and is one of the “vexed” issues of interreligious dialogue.
Whereas Pope Francis has voiced his belief that the Christian God and Allah are the same God, other Christian leaders disagree.
Celebrated evangelical pastor Franklin Graham, for example, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, has insisted that Muslims and Christians “clearly” do not worship the same God.
“Islam denies that God has a Son,” Graham wrote. “They deny that Jesus is God. They do not believe in a Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I can tell you – Islam and Christianity clearly do not worship the same God.”
Similarly, in 2007, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former...

Mohammed made the walking lame.
Jesus made the blind see.
Mohammed made the seeing blind.
Jesus made the dead, live.
Mohammed made the living, die.
Jesus took his body into heaven.
Mohammed was buried in the sand where he was consumed by the forces of nature.
I have long stopped relying on secular news, conservative, liberal or independent politically when it comes to reporting on things Catholic.
The Catholic News agencies reported this 2 days ago and have the entire text and it is clear while the Pope did receive the Muslim delegation, when he is meeting with them there is a Clear large Crucifix (with the Corpus of Christ on it) staring the 4 Muslim clerics right in the face.
The text says he told the Muslims everyone has the right to propose their faith, not impose it or have it imposed.
So yes it is true that Jews and Muslims would be considered Monotheist but they reject the Holy Trinity. To be honest, there are lots of groups who claim to be “Christian” that do the same.
1)Oneness Pentecostals
2) JW
3) Father Only Unitarians (Dale Tuggy type theology for example)
So if someone has an issue with Pope Francis, fair enough, but He meets with delegations from all walks of life and tries to meet them in areas of common ground.
On May 2, 2024, he met with 32 Anglican Primates all at once and said we share the faith in Christ and only the Love of Christ will bring separated Christians together. So in this context meeting with the 32 Anglican primates, he affirmed we (Catholics) and Anglicans share a common faith in Christ, even though We(Catholics) and Anglicans are obviously not in full communion with each other. This too was found from Catholic News Agencies.
Like, dislike, neutral on Pope Francis, that is no problem, but my suggestion is to at least read the Catholic News Agencies accounts of any Meeting the Pope has with other Christian confessions, Jews, Muslims, Buddhist (He met with them in the spring as well) and not rely only on secular news sources.
God Bless and Keep all here, Cheers
To deny YESHUA is to deny the Trinity is to deny GOD.
If spoken truthfully, the Muslim prefession of faith would be “There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile”.

As in we don’t go through a middleman;-)
Close enough!
Jews Christians and Muslims all claim Abraham as their patriarch. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, thought she was too old to conceive so she asked Abraham to conceive a son through her hand maiden, Hagar, who bore a son called Ishmael. Muslims claim Ishmael as the true son of Abraham.
However, Sarah DID later conceive a son called Isaac, whom the Jews claim as the true patriarch of God’s chosen people.
Mohammed decided that Islam needed only 1 god and not 365 for each day of the year so he chose Allah. Probably October31st, Halloween.
If I am wrong on this, please correct me.
Why is this piece of shit little anti-Christ not removed from office by the Catholic Church???!!!
Is there no way to stop an errant Pope?
GROW A PAIR, and GET HIM OUT!!!
Pope Frannie should take the title “Caliph” then. That’ll set the muzzies straight.
I missed that part in the Bible about cutting off heads is okay for ragheads
Pope DumbAlot
Particularly since the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the
acceptance of (and faith in) it is the only path to salvation.
The question of whether he is evil is firmly settled to any Jesus follower who reads this.
An, of not THE antichrist!
