Vatican Says “Dialogue.” Islam Says “Islam.” What Happened to Catholic Exclusivity?Sixty years after Nostra Aetate, the Vatican is celebrating a “journey of hope” built on interreligious dialogue, fraternity, and encounter. But alongside Islam’s enduring claim that Islam is the divinely approved religion, one can't help but wonder: What happened to the clarity of the Catholic Church's own exclusive claim to truth and salvation? On September 16, 2026, Pope Leo XIV put his signature on “A Journey of Hope”, a commemorative note signifying 60 years since the Second Vatican Council’s “Nostra Aetate”—the declaration that claimed that the Catholic Church was open...

Leo’s Pastor of St. Peter’s Basilica Finds the Devil “Quite Likable.” He Adds “Spice” to People’s Lives! Rome’s interfaith chief says other religions “broaden the horizon of truth,” invokes a pluralist “City of God,” and turns Nehemiah into a mascot for religious dialogue.There are careless phrases, and then there are phrases that tell you how a man sees the Church.“The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow.”That sentence belongs to Father Mario León Dorado, the 52-year-old Spanish Oblate whom Leo XIV...

Has Leo gone TOO FAR? Pope Leo calls mosque 'holy place of God'Pope Leo visited a mosque and called it a “holy place of God.” Can you imagine Pope Benedict saying that? Pope Pius XI? The question writes itself: Has the papacy finally gone too far?John-Henry Westen examines a growing pattern that has left traditional Catholics stunned.

Pope Leo just wrapped his tour of oppressed Christian communities in Islamist dominated nations like Turkey and Lebanon. Rather than directly address the persecution of Christians, he praised the local regimes, met with Muslim leaders, took off his shoes at a mosque and took refuge in vague generalities. In Lebanon, Pope Leo offered no direct criticism of Hezbollah or Islam. He visited and prayed at the Port of Beirut, where a Hezbollah weapons explosion killed over 200 people, many of them Christians, and the blast damaged churches and devastated families. Pope Leo avoided placing blame, claiming instead that it’s natural...

Today, Islam has slithered into some of the inner circles of the highest-ranking Church officials.

In a new book, Wiren claims that the Church should regard Mohammed as a prophet.In an interview with Swedish newspaper Dagen, Wiren states, “Regarding the concept of prophecy, it’s quite open. There are prophets and prophesying even after Jesus’s resurrection, especially in...

However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart...

Back in February of 2019, when Pope Francis journeyed to Abu Dhabi to sign the Chrislam ‘Declaration of Human Fraternity’ with Imam Ahmed Al Tayeb, whom he ‘sealed the deal’ by kissing him on the mouth, there was a man acting as a silent witness to the proceedings.

Aza, an amateur Arabist who had been brought up to believe that the Koran was linguistically inerrant, said that he began to have doubts about Islam after detecting a number of linguistic errors in the Koran. When a Christian gave him a copy of the New Testament in Kurdish, Aza, who is of part-Kurdish heritage, broke down emotionally after reading it. “God speaks my language!” he exclaimed, overwhelmed by the fact that the Word had not only become flesh in Jesus but also was written in his own mother tongue. Keen to reach out to Muslims with the gospel, Aza...
