Pope Francis, in an interview with the French newspaper La Croix, suggested a likeness between ISIS and Jesus by explaining that while “the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam,” it was quite possible to interpret certain passages of the Gospels, particularly in Matthews, as a call for Christians to go forth with this “same idea of conquest” in their discipleship.
He also faulted the free market for driving poverty, saying economies need “a state to monitor and balance them;” gun manufacturers for fueling wars; and the failures of Christians in Europe to properly assimilate with Muslims as causing much of the tensions of recent times – ostensibly, to include acts of terror.
His specific words, according to an English interpretation of his comments: “Today, I don’t think that there is a fear of Islam as such but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is partly drawn from Islam. It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam. However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.”

Not only modernism, but heresy. More peanuts?
Me too, if this is true he’s just out of it the Anti Christ!
No doubt, good point.
Keep on fighting the good fight like you actually don’t believe in it.

And it’s not a sin to throw Peanuts in the creek.
Historically the Papacy was always the pillar in the fight against Islam.
What a horse’s ass this Peronista is.
Help yourself. Join the crowd.
Why would I fight a “good” fight that I don’t believe in?
Have you been downing beers with your peanuts?
No—I’m Peanuts. (Old Confession joke)
Sorry. I wasn’t aware of that joke and still am not.
“Why would I fight a “good” fight that I don’t believe in?”
Have you been downing beers with your peanuts?”
Why would anyone care this much about something so important to them and others, and choose to come off like this?

I care because EENS is Catholic dogma.
It’s your loss that you appear to deny that dogma.
Boy goes into confessional, tells priest he through peanuts into the creek, priest grunts, sends him off with a Hail Mary.
Next boy comes in, tells priest he through peanuts into the creek, priest tells him don’t waste food, it really isn’t a big deal, sends him off with a Hail Mary.
Third boy comes in, tell priest he through peanuts into the creek, priest asks “what have the nuns been teaching you, it really isn’t a sin, say a Hail Mary.
Next boy comes in, before he can start, priest says “Don’t tell me, let me guess—you threw peanuts in the creek?” The boy replies: “No, I’m Peanuts.”
Right, I am denying dogma or something on this thread.
Good point.

Through should be threw. Late at night too much Rye
Thanks. That gave me a good laugh!
All you’ve done on this thread is pitch shells.
Glancing through this thread, you deserve one. Glad I could be of service.
Anyone can read this thread and then make their own mind up, I reckon.
So there.

Do you deny the Catholic dogma of Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus?
Can you just give a “yes” or “no” rather than continuing to avoid addressing the same?
Come on Ransomed, give the forum you own opinion.
It’s a secret. I might be a Modernist who keeps secrets or whatever.
