Desecration? What desecration? Having a rabbi speak in a Roman Catholic church Cathedral is a desecration?

I'm sorry...but without some vile act of destruiction, or even something like a documented "blasphemy" against God, that word -- desecration -- (did Tancred chose it?) is a far stretch.

Lacking anything solid as towards accusation or charge along the lines of that just mentioned, I'll not be convinced otherwise...

More graciously, and generously, in what appears to me to be genuine and Godly [enough] warmth for one another, Bergoglio & Rabbi Abraham Skorka (who may have been present at this last little dust-up in that Argentine church?) have worked together previously, even becoming as friends.

When someone calls an inter-faith "observance" of Kristallnacht a "desecration" for simple reason of it taking place -- I have to shake my head in amazement, while being reminded of Muslim sentiments towards "infidel".

Here, from http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/religion/re01193.htm

On God
POPE FRANCIS & RABBI ABRAHAM SKORKA

Originally published in Argentina in 2010, On Heaven and Earth is an open and expansive dialogue between Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) and Abraham Skorka (a Rabbi and biophysicist) in which they share their thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st Century.

Try it. It's not poison. That is, unless the current "pope" isn't any good -- at all. I don't believe that...should anyone?

Remember, you're quoting Pope Francis, the man who believes prosleytism is nonsense and atheists can go to Heaven without converting.

It was more than a speech; it appears to be the same type of event that Cardinal Bergoglio held in the same cathedral in November, 2012.

The official program book with the symbol of B'nai B'rith and the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires is called an "Inter-religious Liturgy."
