And you saw that some Catholics thought that was a bad move. I happen to agree with them. As someone above explained, it wasn’t an ex cathedra act. He was not telling all of you guys to kiss the Koran, but what he did show was a complete lack of spiritual discernment ... and a need to be loved by men.. neither of these things are marks of a godly spiritual leader.. they are features of the natural man

"what he did show was a complete lack of spiritual discernment ... and a need to be loved by men.. neither of these things are marks of a godly spiritual leader.. they are features of the natural man. You have to engage in mind reading to make that conclusion. No one other than God knows what was in his heart or what his thoughts were at that moment, but those who knew him well have offered a different assessment. They believe that JPII actually walked the walk. He believed that Christian love will conquer all evil and sought at that moment to show the world that.

Didn’t the pope say the muslims and Catholics serve the same God?
