On Thursday, Francis visited the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia, to meet with representatives of dozens of false religions.
He was received by the Grand Imam, Nasaruddin Umar.
In the mosque, Francis and Umar listened to passages from the Koran sung by a young woman and the parable of the Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke read by a priest.
Then, Francis and Umar signed another joint declaration on "fraternity," entitled: Fostering Religious Harmony for the Sake of Humanity. The interreligious scribble is at least below 400 words long. It pledges to defend "human dignity" and fight "climate change".
In a speech omitting any reference to Christ, Francis asked in the Muslim country to cultivate "friendship" and "harmony" as "pilgrims on our way to God".
Francis, who is fighting the Roman rite, added that "the visible aspects of religions - rites, practices, etc. - are a heritage that must be protected and respected". After leaving the mosque, he kissed the hand of the Grand Imam.
He then presided a Eucharist in Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta's main stadium. Local authorities estimated that more than 100,000 faithful attended.

Unless, of course, those rites and practices, have the slightest hint of traditional, apostolic Catholicism.

Like the Latin Mass? Ha-hah.
Islam isn’t a religion so he shouldn’t have included Islamists.
Papa Frank gives Muslims reasons upon reasons to laugh at the west.
Isn’t there a way for this person to be removed from power?
He took the name of St. Francis, who tried to convert the sultan when he was on a Crusade.
In the Middle Ages\Renaissance the set up rival papacies. Maybe that needs to be done again. Some traditionalist Cardinal needs to threaten or do that.
Hey Frankie, go read the Koran and Hadiths and tell me that again.
It’s hard to believe that Frankie is one of Pope Urban II’s predecessors.
>must be protected and respected<
No Christian rights tho.
Bingo.
Frances has lost his rational mind. His head will be gone when Islamicists have the opportunity.
Can’t wait til Frankie is called to his Particular Judgment.
I like this article simply says “Francis”, without inappropriately saying Pope. Bravo.
Islam would not exist, nor Christianity, if they followed that.
Pope Francis is old, but he's not that old.
