100% false. Please try again. Pope do not go unless INVITED, which would be more than a little bit rude. When they are invited, they absolutely DO go. JP2 hit a number of mosques and synagogues, including one here in NYC. Please try again.You prove my point for me. JP2 was the first pope to visit a synagogue in 1900 years. You are trying to make this sound like a pope visiting a synagogue is as common as breathing air. It is not a routine practice. And I think this has only happened four times--twice by JP2 and twice by BXVI. Four times in 1900 years, and all of those within the last few years. No there is a common historical trend in Catholic practice!.

Please find me a list of invitations to synagogues and mosques that Popes have turned down. I’ll wait.
