And in the eyes of a Christian observer, I see the Pope praying for the awakening of the souls of all Muslims...

I for one believe that prayers should be said continually without ceasing - does that make me wrong when I pray when I am in a Buddhist temple, here in Shanghai? Does that make me wrong when I prayed at my Jewish friend’s wedding at his synagogue?

No, God is everywhere, not just in a church. I am Roman Catholic and I have prayed in Protestant churches. If I was in a synagogue, I would pray there as well.
