"So what do you think about JPII kissing the Koran?"

Luke 6:27-36 "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

But love your enemies, do good to them

Right. It doesn't say to enable them in their deception.

Loving and doing good is what Jesus did - He taught The Word. The Pope should have given the muzzy The Bible instead of kissing the counterfeit.

If the Pope wanted to kiss anything he should have kiss the man (love the sinner) and not the Koran (the sin).

"Loving our enemies" does not include embracing, kissing, bowing down before and thereby condoning the words of the Koran which deny Christ and call for the slaughter of Christians.

It was a sinful act on the part of JPII to kiss the Koran. Only God's mercy will have kept him from burning in hell for it.

And further, if JPII’s smooching of the Koran is showing love for his enemies, when will one of your popes kiss the “Institutes of the Christian Relgion?”

That has to be the sickest cop-out reply I’ve ever read here.
