You still haven't answered the question, but rather avoided it. I'll try a different question. Where in this statement does the Pope state anything negative about Saddam and his regime? I see none. But I do see this one:

The Holy Father highlighted "the strength of different religions in sustaining the search for peace is a reason for comfort and hope.

Is he now a universalist or a Christian evangelist. Doesn't sound like an evangelical statement to me. No quite the contrary. Sounds more like "all roads lead to Rome", rather than "I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through me".

[Notwithstanding]

For some reason you wish to dictate the pope's daily activities.

The pope was addressing Catholic military chaplains from around the world - not the US public.

Your problem: you forget that the pope is the pastor of the Universal Church - not the pastor of the USA.

Funny - his view is not USA-centric!

[Notwithstanding]

The pope acknowledges God's truth wherever it manifests itself. Whereas you would rather bitch that ALL of His truth is not present.

The evangelist first connects with the person, and THEN proclaims Christ.

BTW, if you ACTUALLY read his full remarks, you would KNOW that he ALWAYS preaches Christ.

As mentioned earlier, you fall for the liberal media spin that always pulls out partial quotes and never the full text.

You should pray when you have your particular judgment that you won't be quoted out of context and spun.

Its official: your method of evangalization is to yell "sinner, sinner - my God's better than yours".

What an ambassador for Christ you must be!
