Vatican blasts Muhammad cartoons as pouring ‘gasoline on the fire’

The Vatican’s semiofficial newspaper blasted a series of cartoons of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad as “blasphemous” but also condemned the “mad and bloodthirsty” extremists who opened fire at a Texas exhibit of the cartoons.

The front-page article in L’Osservatore Romano likened the exhibit in Garland, Texas, to pouring “gasoline on the fire” of religious sensitivities and was critical of its sponsors, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, and professional provocateur Pamela Geller.

Police on Sunday (May 3) shot and killed two gunmen who opened fire outside the exhibit that was designed to provoke Muslim sensitivities; the so-called Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the attack that injured a security guard, and promised more to come.

After the Charlie Hebdo attacks, Pope Francis condemned the idea of killing “in God’s name” but warned that “you cannot provoke, you cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.”

Yes indeed....Church of Christ is another...and there are several...

I’ve also seen much of the Emergent Church spreading into the churches....very dangerous and when this happens it’s downhill for that church from then on....meaning the spirit they are worshipping is “something” else other than the Jesus of the Bible,

STUPID POOPE AND STUPID CATHOLICS !
Read your Bible !

I remember our Heavenly Father telling us HOW to handle other religions,
how to show the proper reaction to their false gods.
