"From the Pope's kissing of the Koran--- and it is very uncharitable of you to interpret a mistaken GESTURE as something heretical when there is no eveidence whatsoever of heretical teaching about Islam or the Koran." Hmmmmm, he kissed the Koran, and sent an Apostolic Delegate to the new Mosque in Rome to bless it, and now didn't he teach us in the catechism that Muslims are going to heaven because we are all children of Abraham? I think it's strange that he would even bother to write his views on Islam in a CATHOLIC catechism in the first place. Not very "traditional" in my humble opinion. He sure is a cutting edge progressive pope though, I gotta give you that. See you at the next World Youth Day?

This was a mistaken act, not a doctrinal teaching, and everyone would have happily forgotten it if you guys didn't constantly bring this up again and again and again because you are not objectively seeing what the Pope teaches, but rather, like the Democratic National Committee, want to actively promote scandal through lies and distortions. You guys WANT the Pope to be a heretic! Rather than interpreting his statements and actions in charity and good faith in an orthodox light, you grasp at every straw to try and prove that the Pope is a heretic. You are no different from the Protestants of the Reformation who desperately wanted to show that the Pope was a heretic and used every lie and defamation in the book in order to try to prove it. Since you are not obedient to the Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium in your rejection of the Pope and promote your own private judgment, you are Protestant for all intents and purposes. The Pope has taught nothing heretical as regards Islam, as I have shown in other posts. You have yet to show a single teaching that is heretical.
