Where the Pope is, there is the Church--sometimes. This is a pious statement that's not always true. The Church was not at Assisi.
To: ultima ratio
The Pope does not wear the Church on his back. Where the office of the Pope is, there is the Church.
I don't see a problem watching other faiths pray at Assisi. I have a problem uncatholicizing the building for them, but anyone can pray where they like. They also prayed separately, however, I pray all the time with non-Catholics. I Pray to God, and maybe offer a Hail Mary, or a Prayer to St. Michael sometimes, but praying in the presence of others sometimes helps is winning them over.
Your smugness leaves me cold. Is that gleee with another twist of the SSPX dagger in the back of the Church?
