Eastern Catholic Ping List

Something stinks here.
It's all the BS being spewed by this "bishop".
Tell me when a muslim "minister" does the same thing in the other direction
Please do not use potty language or references to potty language on the Religion Forum.
Sorry, RM. Things like this just tick me off.
The bishop is well meaning but naive. Thousands of other well meaning bishops tried similar approaches in the formerly 100% Christian (and some Jewish) countries of Eygpt, Syria, Algeria, Libya, etc, etc. Christians in these nations were all murdered until essentially extinct over 1400 years of Islam. The ancestors of most muslims today were once Christians.
Tell the bishop to try to build a Catholic church in Saudi Arabia.
Tell the bishop to try to bring a BIBLE into Saudi Arabia.
This is a bad idea.
Agreed. My Maronite Catholic pastor, who speaks 8 languages fluently, including Arabic, recently attended one of these 'feel good' Muslim/Catholic sessions. He quickly ascertained that its purpose was to assuage catholics that muslims were of a similar bent. When the Q & A session commenced, he raised his hand and was given the floor. He opened the English language version of the Koran and quoted from it the excerpt where 'all non Muslims are infidels' deserving death. The eyes of all assembled riveted on my pastor, then turned towards the presenter.
The Arabic speaking moderator smiled and suggested that he had 'misunderstood' the passage. Father then opened the Arabic Language version of the Koran and quoted the same citation. He assured the speaker that he understood perfectly and asked that she give the body of catholics assembled, an explanation of this passage. She turned visibly red in the face, mumbled something unintelligible and moved on to the next question. Thereafter, she ignored his raised hand completely.
Anticipating such a response, he brought along one of our Arabic speaking parishioners to pose another question. By the end of the evening, he was sufficiently satisfied that enough pearla of doubt were cast into the minds of the 'catholic sheeples' assembled.
What a blessing to have a middle-eastern, catholic pastor who is very familiar with the Koran and its lies.
It should have been like the stoning scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian". As soon as he started quoting...
He must be a BINO.
I think this is what is most upsetting about some Catholic Bishops, Archbishops, and even some Cardinals in a number of countries all over the world.
For the last 16 years, I have noted that a number of Officials of the Catholic Church seem to have fallen in love with this Evil and Demonic Religion namely ISLAM.
Without relizing the pitfalls that are involved. When will these Folks realize what is going on.
Seems to me like only when half of the Western World is Islamsized -- will anyone get up. By that time, it might be too late.
All we can do is pray that this will not happen. These Catholic Bishops need to take a good look at what is happening in the Middle East to Ancient Communities of Catholic-Christians and then discern whether it is wise to have Inter- Religious Dialogue with Islam.
What ever happened to "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:18-20
These 60s generation bishops need to get a grip and realize the Muslims want to destroy Christianity.
They need to meet some Arab Christians, Catholics and Orthodox, to see how aweful Islam treats dhimmis.
With age and maturity, I realize I got two out of three right. I don't what god the muslims worship.
Modern Islam has done nothing for the advancement of liberty or the rights of women. Only in Christian civilizations and Israel do women have any respect at all.
They are both incongruous - like water and oil. I don't see the relevancy of such dialogues when the Bishop quotes the Koran.
