Again you make false analogies. Jesus never prayed with sinners. He never prayed alongside pagans nor encouraged others to worship their pagan gods. If the Pope was looking for friendlier relations with other religions, he might have invited their representatives to a luncheon or to a theological convention. Instead he organized a phony liturgical procedure and prayed beside them, placing the Great Thumb and Buddha on equal footing with our God. That is a violation of the First Commandment--and even pope-worshippers like you should be scandalized.

For an excellent (and somewhat personal, although it is being played out in a public forum) debate on this topic, go here. Just to give you a little background on the players, Bob Sungenis is the founder of Catholic Apologetics International (CAI). In the opinion of many mainstream Catholic apologists, he went over to the dark-side of traditionalism last fall. Up until then, John Pacheco was CAI's Vice-President as well as Director of CAI-Canada. After last fall, John went on to found Catholic-Legate.
