The pope is doing what he must, can you imagine what the muslim fanatics would do if the leader of the largest group of Christians wholeheartedly came out in favor of this war?

Do not forget that there are many Christians in the Arab world, they are not well treated as is, it would be a lot worse for them if the islamic nut jobs decided to get even nastier.

Have you all forgotten already what it was that Jesus taught? Turn the other cheek! All the pope is saying is that peace is better than war, is there anything wrong with this?

This was the same way in which Pope Pius saved hundreds of thousands of jews during WWII. Coming out openly against Hitler would have served no purpose. (Of course despite historical facts there are those who still go on about the pope doing nothing during WWII)

We are in this war to bring peace. The leftists, as they do with the bible, will pick and choose what they want or twist things to their needs.

Finally for laz17:

Matthew 16
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

That is Jesus appointing the first pope.

No matter the human frailties of those in the church, the holy spirit guides her and will never abandon her.

Thanks for agreeing with me that the Pope is a Muslim appeaser. I couldn't have worded it better myself. He doesn't speak out of principle, but he's afraid of terrorists. Gutsy move there, Pope.
