ISTANBUL (AP) — Pope Francis stood Saturday for two minutes of silent prayer facing east in one of Turkey's most important mosques, a powerful vision of Christian-Muslim understanding at a time when neighboring countries are experiencing violent Islamic assault on Christians and religious minorities.

Thanks for the link. Here's a great quote from Evangellii Guadium: Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalisations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.

Francis, TRUE CATHOLIC TEACHING is that Islam is a diabolical, false religion. THAT is authentic Islam. THAT is what you and the rest of the post Vatican II Conciliar Church should be teaching the world.

Benedict XVI did the same thing in 2006.

But it can give evidence of public heresy.

No, he did not.
His visit was totally different.

[piusv]

He prayed with the Muslims. How was it different?

Pope Francis’ prayer at Blue Mosque ‘exactly the same’ as Benedict XVI

[onyx]

Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI, caused, according to Reuters, storms of protest throughout the Islamic world in 2006, when he made a speech that suggested Islam espouses violence.
LATER, (Benedict said he had been misunderstood and apologized).

I don’t think Francis has ever read the Koran or the Bible, for that matter, with any comprehension. He was spoon fed by the Jesuits.

[piusv]

So Benedict spoke the Truth about Islam, apologized for doing so, and then prayed with the Muslims.

Francis never speaks the Truth about Islam and prays with the Muslims.

There is a difference, and I’m not quite sure which is worse just now.

Thank you for your support.

Now you've done it. Your response can only mean I must be part of a fascist plot to lure libertarians into the RF, preventing their eyes from seeing where they are, then pinging the fascist RM when responding to a critical post about them which the initiated, in order to get them zotted to that great cyber concentration camp.

Not doubt you are against personal gun ownership as well.
