Pope Francis hasn't written any encyclicals. This was an Apostolic Exhortation, which Cardinal Burke says contains no definitions of doctrine and is not a part of the papal magistgerium.

Burke: "Not Part of the Papal Magisterium" (Link)

It was indeed a stupid thing for Pope Francis to day. Remember when in 2006 (the Regensberg speech) Pope Benedict asked, in an academic philosophical forum, whether Islamic doctrine had roots in the Logos (Reason) --- and the Islamosphere's response was rioting on 3 continents and 19 people dead, including an elderly nun who cared for orphans, who was shot in the back.

Magdi Cristiano Allam and Pope Francis should have a good, long talk.

You’re right. I knew it wasn’t an encyclical, but for some reason that’s the word that comes to me....it’s probably the fact that both start with the letter E.

Magdi Cristiano Allam and Pope Francis should have a good, long talk.

Maybe Raymond Ibrahim could help clue him in.

Christmas in Iraq: Slaughtered Christians: "As expected, Christmas did not pass the Islamic world without church attacks and slaughtered Christians. It’s apparently a tradition there, from the dawn of Islam down to this very Christmas..."

It’s not stupid. It’s not in line with Traditional Catholic teaching. Once again, when you compare what he says to what Traditional popes say about Islam and Mohammed, you see glaring differences.

What is the Pope smoking?

The Koran is full of violence and Mohammad murdered many people and he's a pedophile to boot. I don't know what the pope is reading, but it's not the Koran.
