Secondly, it was not a Koran -- a green Arabic Eastern Catholic bible makes sense as do you really think the Moslems would not be crowing about a Pope venerating a Koran? You think they would not be shouting about it all the time? Yet one hears only crickets.
Thirdly, the OP has posted other "Onion" type joke articles on the Religion Forum before -- check my post 21. Don't fall for any ploy to get folks to attack
Fourthly, why don't you actually ask a Jew about the Papacy in World War II? Read this article: 'Hitler's Pope' saved thousands of Jewish lives, Pope helped Jews flee Holocaust or Allied diplomats pressed Pope Pius to be silent on Nazi deportations and the same Pope said HITLER AND STALIN POSSESSED BY DEVIL - POPE PIUS XII TRIED EXORCISM OF HITLER -- and while there was news coming out of the Nazi death camps to Churchill and Roosevelt, they suppressed it, so do you mean that all US presidents should now shut up?
And You can’t choose what evil to expose one must expose all evils. -- does your particular religious group do this to ALL evils? Every single one of them?
Father Joe say differntly thast it was a koran and it was a gift.
