[Salvation]

They have driven some CINO's nuts

We have all been asked to pray for peace.

What is wrong with the heads of all these different religions getting together to pray for peace?

Or does God not listen to some people's prayers because they belong to a different denomination? How can we, mere earthlings, judge?

I think the Pope showed leadership and reconciliation here, not weakness and schism.

Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly. Pray unceasingly.

You made some excellent points. BTW, what do you make of such columns? Do you think they are intended to show the Pope in as positive a light as possible, or do these type of columns try to make us anxious, skeptical, doubtful and questioning?

I wonder why there aren't posts about this event that explain just how this action by the Pope is permisible? I guess there are just too many "loyal" Catholics who like to involve the Pope in controversy and never give him the benefit of the doubt. I guess that is considered "christian" by some

You are correct. Here is a link to a site that actually seeks to defend, not undermine, the Pope in regards to Assisi
