Yes ---but there have been things in the history of the Church ---worse things even that Popes did --- but the Church survives. Kissing a book written by a man like Mohammed was bizarre ---considering the life that Mohammed led and all ---he murdered Jews and Christians and then there was the little girl he lusted after. Nothing a raping pedophile produces can be good in any way. I hope the next Pope recognizes Islam for what it is.
I was hoping this Pope might be held accountible for his words and actions so that the next Pope might be made to realize which direction he'd better lead the Catholic Church.
