Vatican Library Opens Muslim Prayer Room

The Vatican Apostolic Library, located in Vatican City, has designated a prayer space for visiting Muslim scholars, marking a notable gesture of inclusivity at one of the world’s most important centers of religious and cultural scholarship.

The move, confirmed by Vice Prefect Giacomo Cardinali, comes after several Muslim academics requested a quiet area for daily prayers during their research visits. In response, the library provided a room equipped with a prayer rug to meet their needs.

Cardinali told La Repubblica, an Italian daily, that the request was modest and easily fulfilled. He emphasized that the library serves a global academic community, and accommodating prayer was in line with its broader mission.

This development reflects a growing effort by the centuries-old institution to welcome scholars of all backgrounds.

Oh boy! Waiting for the announcement of the Bible study room in Mecca!

Sounds like a good plan...

...as soon as a Christian ‘prayer room’ is opened at the Kaaba, in Mecca.

Birds of a Feather...

I hope its soundproofed. All that whining and wailing they do would ruin my appetite.

Thou shall not be unequally yoked.

Can’t wait until the Vatican opens a prayer room for the Proddys. (-:

[catnipman]

where’s the room in the Vatican with a boiling kettle that cannibals can cook their enemies in? ... i thought the Vatican was trying to be inclusive ...

[Veto!]

Lots of Muslims are Arabic. So I expect to see Belly Dancing in the vatican. Some, of course, by priests and cardinals, most by nuns. Organists will just have to get in the groove with appriate music.

Bending the knee, or maybe both knees.
Never asking for or even expecting reciprocal courtesy.
Foolishly humble to their own detriment.

Two popes to kill the church. Ciao. They should have bulldozed Norte Dame to rubble so the world doesn’t have to watch it become a mosque soon.

This is yet another example of the “Ape of the Church” of which the late Bishop Fulton J. Sheen spoke. The post-concilliar modernist bullsh*t clownshow is increasingly emptying the pews. Serious Catholics are leaving the Novus Ordo garbage scowl and flocking to Traditional Catholic Churches, such as those under the SSPX, FSSP, etc. The reprobates in Rome cannot stop the hemorrhaging. Pope Leo XIV is proving himself Francis 2.0 with a better temperment.

Is it open for pee?

Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Raphael I affirmed that he was present at the Vatican when John Paul II kissed the Muslim "holy" book: "On May 14th (1999) I was received by the Pope, together with a delegation composed of the Shi'ite imam of Khadum mosque and the Sunni president of the council of administration of the Iraqi Islamic Bank. There was also a representative of the Iraqi ministry of religion. .... At the end of the audience the Pope bowed to the Muslim holy book, the Qu'ran, presented to him by the delegation, and he kissed it as a sign of respect. The photo of that gesture has been shown repeatedly on Iraqi television and it demonstrates that the Pope is not only aware of the suffering of the Iraqi people, he has also great respect for Islam."

CCC (paragraph) 841 The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”1

Flock together.

Catholic brothers and sisters: run, flee, get as far away from this as you can. This is an absolute abomination and an affront to the one, true God, the God of Abraham.

I am dumbfounded, sickened and heartbroken. I cannot imagine how much worse the Catholic faithful must feel.

Utter betrayal.

Smh…

Meet the new pope, same as the old pope. It seems that Leo is following in the footsteps of Bergoglio, heretic and minion of Satan.
