I hope they stay wise.
The papacy has been 'reaching' out to a lot of others. Kissing the Koran? I'm not real sure why he did this. Was he trying to appease the muslims? Does he really think that the God of Judaism and Christianity is the same of Islam? Why would the God of Judaism call for the killing of Jews by Islam? Just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm not sure of all the reasons for the reformation, but what if the pope (present or future) were to gradually ease some of the differences out of the way, to entice protestants back into the fold, under a guise of unity. The ol' we all pray to the same God routine.
Think any of the protestant churches could be enticed?
