Pope and top imam embrace in historic meeting at Vatican
Yahoo News ^ | May 22, 2016

Pope Francis met the grand imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque at the Vatican on Monday in a historic encounter that was sealed with a hugely symbolic hug and exchange of kisses.

The first Vatican meeting between the leader of the world's Catholics and the highest authority in Sunni Islam marks the culmination of a significant improvement in relations between the two faiths since Francis took office in 2013.

"Our meeting is the message," Francis said in a brief comment to a small pool of reporters present at the start of his meeting with Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb.

“Our meeting is the message,” Francis said...

“Give up hope, all ye who enter here!”

A fool hiding behind the facade of faith.

What did they talk about? - that Christian sex slaves to muslims could get Sundays off under their new relationship?

I laughed louder than I have in a long time when I read this:

“Ties were badly soured when the now-retired Benedict made a September 2006 speech in which he was perceived to have linked Islam to violence, sparking deadly protests in several countries and reprisal attacks on Christians.”

Pope links Islam to violence at which point Islamic violence erupts.

This is VERY prophetic. Holy Scripture speaks to this.

Two way tolerance is a good thing. However, the muslims are tolerant of no one and nothing.

One way tolerance is tyranny.

The scary part is I think Pope Francis is ok with that.

While the pope is sizing up the imam, the imam is sizing up the Vatican. He’s thinking how best to raze the structure and how the site will look with minarets.

-—”Our meeting is the message,” Francis said...-—

Yes, we’re all painfully aware of what your ‘message’ is.

The Pontiff’s supporters have all run out of excuses and barely credible explanations for his behavior.

I don’t hear anything from ex-Pope Benedict. Why?

Francis is a doddering old fool and in no way represents himself in any form or format as the Vicar of Christ. He consorts not with the enemies of Christianity but representatives of the Devil himself. He should be avoided.

So the commie Pope is also a dhimmi ass-kisser.

No real surprise, is it?

I think the Pope should declare his intention to visit Mecca to give a speech on universal tolerance, while dressed in full regalia and carrying the Holy Bible.

Exchanging kisses sounds gay.
