A church that taught [still teaches btw] that the deity Muslims worship---is the same as theirs.

Every time I hear that from the pope and on down the line, I'm gobsmacked.

Like politicians talking about our "democracy" which is actually a Constitutional Republic.

The gulf between the God of the Bible and the "god" of Islam is impossible too see across.
