Cardinal Kurt Koch, who leads ecumenical relations for the Vatican, made the comments at an interfaith meeting in Cambridge
Christians have a mission to convert all Muslims, according to one of Pope Franciss senior aides.
Cardinal Kurt Koch, who leads ecumenical relations for the Vatican, made the comments at an interfaith meeting held by Cambridge Universitys Woolf Institute.
Cardinal Koch also said that Christians should not try and convert Jews and should view Judaism as a mother.
We have a mission to convert all non-Christian religions people [except] Judaism, he said, before reportedly adding that this extended to jihadis responsible for persecuting Christians in the Middle East.
The cardinal also urged Christians to view Judaism as a mother and said Christainity and Judaism shared a special relationship.

Not against their will. We are to share the gospel (as it is written), Mr. Pope . You, too.
Tell it to the judge - Torquemada.
Muslims think Mary is one of Mohammad’s wives in heaven. That is why they tolerate Mary.
They teach they are the 'new' Israel...God is done with the Jews...
They need the baptism of fire; napalm and phosphorous...
What are the gifts and calling of the Jews???
They’ll get it in Hell for sure
Agreed.
Jesus was clear that the only way to His Father was through Him; those aren’t words of men, but Jesus Himself.
No amount of political correctness can remove those words.
Show me where there is any evidence in the Bible that says Mary mediates for us and that Jesus wants us to go through Mary to reach Him.
It isnt a straw man, its a clear response to your criticism.
Unless they follow her advice: “Do whatever He tells you”
Please “bold” or “underline” any sentence in that quoted paragraph, that’s false.
He says Believe in me and you will have etrnal life, not ask my mom to be your mediator between you and me.
Which guy?
All of it is false.
That's Scripture, and it's true.
"The Church, which shares with Jews an important part of the sacred Scriptures, looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity (cf. Rom 11:16-18)."
That's also Scripture, and it's true."As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God (cf. 1 Thes 1:9)."
That's also Scripture, and it's true inasmuch as they are monotheists, and not pagans (idol-worshippers). Anyone --- Jew or Christian --- might be an idol-worshiper in that they or we worship the usual idols of wealth, lust, pride, self-self-self --- but in that respect, we are all (not just Jews) alled to turn from these idols and serve the True God."With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history, and with them we accept his revealed word."
That's true as far as the OT is concerned; the Jews do not accept His revealed word in the NT.
Let us pray also for the Jews that the Lord our God may take the veil from their hearts and that they also may acknowledge our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let us pray: Almighty and everlasting God, You do not refuse Your mercy even to the Jews; hear the prayers which we offer for the blindness of that people so that they may acknowledge the light of Your truth, which is Christ, and be delivered from their darkness. Through the same our Lord...
Please underline any of the above that is false. This is from the Good Friday prayer that had been said by the Catholic Church since the third century until Pope Benedict XVI changed it.
Amen. I’m OK with that.
