Evangelii Gaudium on Islam: Outreach or Overreach?

Whether Evangelii Gaudium Is Papal Teaching Cardinal Burke downplayed the importance of Pope Francis’ recent apostolic exhortation, emphasizing that it shouldn’t be considered papal teaching. It seems to me that the Holy Father made a very clear statement at the beginning that these are a number of reflections that he’s making, that he doesn’t intend them to be part of the papal magisterium. … They’re suggestions, he calls them guidelines… I don’t think it was intended to be part of papal magisterium. At least that’s my impression of it.

And everyone should know, by now, how Francis has treated the good Cardinal Burke.

Thanks for the link. Here's a great quote from Evangellii Guadium: Faced with disconcerting episodes of violent fundamentalism, our respect for true followers of Islam should lead us to avoid hateful generalisations, for authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.

Francis, TRUE CATHOLIC TEACHING is that Islam is a diabolical, false religion. THAT is authentic Islam. THAT is what you and the rest of the post Vatican II Conciliar Church should be teaching the world.
