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.

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.

As those who lose devotion to her lose belief in the divinity of Christ, so those who intensify devotion to her gradually acquire that belief.

I have absolutely no devotion to the mother of Jesus...

So what will unite Catholics and muzlims are apparitions and ghosts and the Queen of Heaven...

And we non-Catholic Christians will still be infidels to the Catholic/Muzlim alliance and still be 'anethema' to them...

Jesus Christ as God (a third of the Trinity) has no Mother...
