"Dr. Ahmad spoke 'In Praise of Mary' and at the end of his talk

Bishop Sheen believed that the miracle of Fatima would be the bridge that would bring Mohammedans to Christianity, since Mary enjoys an exalted position within Mohammedanism, and Fatima was Mohammed's daughter.

Apparently Bishop Sheen got duped...It's working the other way around...

Catholics are embracing Islam...And not a peep from a Bishop, Cardinal or Pope...

Oh well...Both your religions face the moon god in the east when you worship...

What's interesting is that to most Catholics, we Protestants are an anathema...Even tho we confess Jesus as our Savior...But yet your religion is beginning to cuddle up with muzlims...

And what is the common denominator??? It's not God in the flesh...It's not salvation...It's not the Holy Scripture...

It's Mary, the Queen of Heaven...That's your common denominator...You have a common bond and it's not God...

True... but before he said that:

http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/kralis/040907

The Catholic Church throughout Northern Africa was virtually destroyed by Moslem power and at the present time (circa 1950), the Moslems are beginning to rise again.

If Moslemism is a heresy, as Hilaire Belloc believes it to be, it is the only heresy that has never declined, either in numbers, or in the devotion of its followers.

The missionary effort of the Church toward this group has been, at least on the surface, a failure, for the Moslems are so far almost unconvertible. The reason is that for a follower of Mohammed to become a Christian is much like a Christian becoming a Jew. The Moslems believe that they have the final and definitive revelation of God to the world and that Christ was only a prophet announcing Mohammed, the last of God's real prophets.

Today (1950), the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself. Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world Power.

I recall reading something else of his that was less than flattering towards the Muslims. If I can ever find it again, I will ping you to my posting of it. I just have so many of his books...
