Reporting on the extraordinary turnout for the Rosary on the Borders prayer campaign in Poland, the Associated Press (AP) suggested that the event smacked of a problematic expression of Islamophobia.
On-the-ground sources said that over a million Poles turned out Saturday to pray the rosary along the countrys 2,000-mile border for the salvation of their country.
According to the spokesman for the Polish Bishops Conference, Father Pawel Rytel-Andrianik, the event drew millions of people to pray the rosary together and was the second-largest prayer event ever held in Europe, after the 2016 World Youth Day.
This exceeded the boldest expectations of the organizers, he said.
Organizers scheduled the event for Oct.7, the Feast of the Holy Rosary, which commemorates the anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto, where the Christian fleet overcame the Muslim armada, saving Europe from Islamization.
The feast day, originally called Our Lady of Victory, was established by Pope Pius V in 1571 after the so-called Holy League won a landmark victory over the invading Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Lepanto. At the time, much of Europe was under siege from the Islamic forces, which sought to win the entire continent for Allah.
The AP warned that Saturdays national event, which was endorsed by Polish church authorities, had anti-Muslim overtones.

I don’t recall having discussions with you prior to this post.
Wrong again.
Sure is acting that way.
Plus they are the ones with the errors.
I have not seen any rancor with Roman Catholics or with Orthodox. Protestants are a mere annoyance, not the be-all and end-all reason of our existence. For Jacck Chick Protestants Catholicism is a necessary establishment because without anti Catholicism they would have no meaning in life at all.
No Roman Pope in charge. No purgatory. No indulgences. No confession to a priest. No Eucharist. No praying to Mary...or other departed saints. There’s a lot more.
No divisions either.
You're not following the threads then.
I don't know if we're allowed to give names in public but there are a couple of Roman Catholics who go at each other from time to time.
Just start a thread on whether the current pope is legit or not. They'll come out.

Proving one of my observations that it is usually the Roman Catholic who resorts to the personal and/or profanity when the argument goes against them.
Say what??? Have you not seen the threads about the current pope?
Pre or post Vatican 2??
Amen and second it.
What I meant was back at the start of the Church.
The divisions would come later.
In reading Paul and John you see there were already divisions in the church. Hence, one of the reasons they wrote their letters.
But not on the day of Pentecost. In the years there would problems that would result in divisions.
A simple correction.
BTW, please do not respond to me anymore, in order to push your viewpoints.

On this I agree.

As long as you don't refer to me either directly or indirectly in your posts.
And everybody does his own religion.
Where is Rome's exegesis of the New Testament? We've asked, but have so far not been provided, with Rome's exegesis of each verse in the New Testament.
I think it better to just live and let live. Whoever is “wrong” I’m sure will see the “error of their way” in God’s own time.
Isn't the command of Christ to go out into all the nations and to make them disciples?
Luke 35 And the angel said to her,
The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you;
therefore the child to be born[h] will be called holy,
the Son of God.
You own the bad translation.
