I notice that in all the responses, there carries an overall bend towards attacking the writer of the article, as well as the poster who posted it, but no real defense of the points that Mr. Gendron made. No scriptural exegesis to prove him wrong. No attempts to refute his claims that the Pope claimed that Christians and Muslims are united by the same spirit.

Ok tell you what, you pick your favorite one of Gendron's best/strongest points, and we'll hash it out a bit.

>>Ok tell you what, you pick your favorite one of Gendron's best/strongest points, and we'll hash it out a bit.<<

I don't expect to change your mind, nor should you expect to change mine, but ok. Let's try this one:

"The pope said he represented Jesus Christ, yet he lived in stark
contrast to the Savior who had no place to lay His head. He
denied Jesus was man's Creator by teaching evolution is true.
On several occasions he denied that Jesus was the only way to
the Father. When he addressed Muslim leaders, he said there is
"a common spiritual bond that unites us." In 1999 he denied the
blood of Jesus was the only purification for sin by awarding a
plenary indulgence for anyone who quit smoking or drinking
alcohol. John Paul is acclaimed as a great moral leader, yet
he failed to discipline American Bishops for tolerating the
wicked sexual abuse of deviant priests."

So - did the Pope claim that evolution was true, did he fail to discipline the sexually confused Bishops, did he award a "plenary indulgence", does he accept the worship of men as "Holy Father", and did he or did he not play footsie with the Muslims, kissing the Koran and claiming a "unity in spirit" with them?
