Has Leo gone TOO FAR? Pope Leo calls mosque 'holy place of God'

Pope Leo visited a mosque and called it a “holy place of God.” Can you imagine Pope Benedict saying that? Pope Pius XI? The question writes itself: Has the papacy finally gone too far?

John-Henry Westen examines a growing pattern that has left traditional Catholics stunned. The same pope who participated in a Pachamama ritual in 1995 now calls a mosque, a place that denies the divinity of Christ, a holy place of God. The same pope who walked a pregnant migrant through an open border symbol at Lampedusa now stands silent as ecumenical dialogue morphs into something unrecognizable.

The consequences are not abstract. Pope Leo’s public embrace of Anglican leader Sarah Mullally has already been used to advance legal arguments for women’s ordination. His mosque visit sends a message that Islam and Catholicism are somehow equal, a message that contradicts centuries of Church teaching.

He doesn’t understand Christianity.

Whatever else the Pope may be, he is a European globalist head of state and a Chicago Democrat.

Went over the edge I think ... pandering to Islam?

[JudyinCanada]

If by “Holy Place of God” he means “Evil place of Satan” then sure!

"Anything but traditional Catholics."

Yep, they seem to be the only religious group he openly criticizes.

[maddog55]

Maybe him and his LGBTWRSTUVWXYZ freaks can go to Iran and visit the gay mullah for a few gay drinks.

POS.

He went too far long ago. He is obviously not Christian.

Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try and find Jesus on your own

While there might be a time for a tactical retreat, and a life truly devoted to contemplative prayer is "choosing the better part", for most of us that is not the answer.
