obedience and loyalty to the Pope are among the chief requirements of the Lord's plan for unity in His church

Obedience to the pope means following his licit instructions not copying his every move. Obedience to the pope does not trump obedience to Catholic orthodoxy or Tradition.

Therefore when JPII kissed the Koran (which is certainly a "matter of religion,") the rest of the Roman Catholic church is supposed to do likewise.

Lies.

So, mas, would you drink the bitter koolaid? Or would you rather not answer?

How would a Catholic answer this? To say "NO" would be to reject your whole religious system. To say "YES" would be to place your religious system in the same category as cults, where members follow blindly whatever their "leader" says. Because they believe he is speaking on behalf of God and he alone has the way to heaven.

Quite the conundrum. Unless spiritual eyes are opened with the truth.
