we heresiarchs cling bitterly to our guns and religion, none of us have been photoged kissing the koran, and never will be
My point is that not only do you hersiarchs select which aspects of the faith suit you, but you misrepresent the teachings and the behaviors of those whom you despise. You despise something you have made up, and attach that fantasy to the catholic Church.
Nobody who actually read the relevant encyclicals and parts of the catechism would suggest that we teach that Mary was pre-existent. and yet that's what your side suggests. we must be permitted to giggle a little bit when the falsehoods about us are so grotesque. It is dubious whether you heresiarchs will ever have the obligation of trying to establish relations with Muslim leaders. You will not ever face the challenge of threading the needle of encouraging some faint embers of Abrahamic faith in them. It may be that once we condemned too readily. There is little question that your side now takes more pleasure in the death of a sinner than in nurturing the possibility that he might turn from his wickedness and love.
So, after the manner of the Muslims your side professes to despise, continue to allege falsehoods against us and to keep your purity unsullied by the effort to reach out to the benighted. We will continue to believe what we actually believe and to reach out to the refuse of your world.
Amen.
A mistake that someone should have had the good sense to stop. Did pope John Paul overcome this error in judgment by preaching The Gospel to the lost? Did he point out to them that without Jesus Christ as their Savior they would be damned? If so, when did he do that?
