Nothing at all controversial:

I am the Lord Thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me.

The Pope was wrong, dead wrong--twice. People on this site will believe he did no wrong because they are frightened by the prospect that their pope may not be fully traditional or fully in line with past teachings. But this is a new unCatholic teaching, another in a string of novelties. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the faith and opposes every previous teaching on our relations with other religions. It has given grave scandal. I know it confirms me in my opposition to another in a series of flagrant violatons of traditional Catholicism.

and Catholics were asked to pray alongside them to the Christian God. I am not against having "contacts" with non-Christians. I have contacts with them all the time. My neighborhood is filled with non-Christians. We talk together, and sometimes even play together. But there is one thing we don't do, and that is pray together. Most of them have enough sense to know that we don't have the same deity, and they would hardly think of asking me to pray with them.

Mr. Sungenis' obsession has led him into confusion, at best, or deliberate falsification, at worst.

Note his own words: "... were asked to pray alongside them (actually, in the same structure, in different rooms)...But there is one thing we don't do, and that is pray together.

Make up your mind, Sungenis. What are you arguing against, Assisi, where folks of different faiths assembled seperately for their own prayers as actually occured OR, are you arguing against "praying together" which did NOT happen at Assisi?

Ifn'ya wanna did the Pope, at least do it based upon facts
