And I'm sorry, political action based on a shared common interest just doesn't cut it as a solution anymore. Are we nations or are we members of the Body of Christ.
I'm no apologist for Pope Francis, he can say what he wants. But what he cannot do is err and teach something that is contradictory to faith and morals. We have the Holy Spirit to thank for that. Can the same be said for the protestant who finds scriptural warrant for whatever deviancy tickles his or her fancy? And if not, whose to correct him or her? What authority?
In its haste to overthrow the legitimate authority of the Church Protestantism has allowed Islam to sneak into their house and slit their throats. So much for those cherished European protestant nations.
YOUR pope kissing the koran. Fits right in with YOUR Catechism of the Catholic church.
