Well, it looks like the good Archbishop was ahead of everybody else . . .

as soon as I learned that Mary is revered by Muslims, I believed that she would somehow be the key to peace.

First things first, I agree with Hillaire Belloc. Everything else is moot.

Lets hope Mother Mary The Blessed Virgin helps the world as a guide to peace. Only by guiding the muzzies to her Son, Jesus Christ. IOW, by leading them to become Christians. As long as they hold on to the mohammedan faith, there'll be trouble.

Incredibly prophetic, let's hope it will happen this way. We may need another apparition to get it started, however, possibly in a predominately Muslim country.

I have G.K. Chesterton's poem,
Lepanto in my profile. The power of the rosary, and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary is absolutely amazing.
Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

A bit dated but totally on target! Catholics and Muslims, harmonizing their beliefs by rallying around the central figure of Mary. I couldn't agree more.

Catholics and Muslims, harmonizing their beliefs by rallying around the central figure of Mary. I couldn't agree more. Jews, Christians and Muslims are in full agreement about Moses and the Ten Commandments as well, I guess you would now dispute the validity of that.

Dear Sir, I find your statement above curious for a number of reasons, namely:
1. The above article contains no indication of Catholics "harmonizing" their beliefs with Muslims. It contains reports of ways the Blessed Virgin Mary has brought followers of Islam to embrace the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, and no information whatsoever concerning Catholics embracing Mohammad.
2. After positing that this article shows "Catholics and Muslims harmonizing their beliefs," you go on to say, "I couldn't agree more."
If it is, in fact, your point that the Archbishop is "harmonizing" beliefs this way, why on earth would you agree with that? What you seem to be saying, Sir, is that you "couldn't agree more" that a group of your Christian brothers and sisters, who have accepted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, are in your, (I believe erroneous,) view moving further towards the edges of renouncing Him in favour of the faith of the Muslims.
I can hardly understand this from a position of Christian charity, so I must beg your pardon and request your clarification.
To: NYer
Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return, and with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, Exactly.
This is why I just can't get enthused about the war on terror, the invasion of Iraq, al-Qaeda, the hunt for Osama and all the other supposed hot issues which government keeps in front of us.
The answer to these problems will not be found in bombs and bullets. It will come when we have a change of heart and turn once again to the Christian message.
Do we seriously expect to live in peace while we wage war on the unborn, for instance, and our own hands are dripping with blood? Are we going to come before God and ask him to protect us from the Muslim murderer while we ourselves are busy butchering his own children in the womb?
Hardly.
