While the Vatican sits silently and leftist Christians continually make excuses for Islam, things are getting worse, and worse for Christians in Islamic lands. The silence and excuses are only emboldening them. Wake up, Islam is not Christianity friendly.

He sure has and the Vatican even endorsed Sharia banking.
I know plenty of Pastors that are also upset with the Vatican.
“Muslims and Christians, precisely because of the burden of our common history, so often marke
d by misunderstanding, must today strive to be known and recognized as worshippers of God, faithful to prayer, eager to uphold and lift by the Almighty decrees,” the pontiff said in an address at the King Hussein Bin Talal mosque in the Jordanian capital, Amman.
Often, “it is the ideological manipulation of religion, sometimes for political ends, that is a real catalyst for tension and division” between faiths, the pope said.

Cardinal says Christian Europe is to blame for Islamisation
Don’t mistake the conference of Catholic Bishops with the Vatican
The catholic Church is alive and well.... The EU ignored all that the Church did for western Civilization by Ignoring God in their Constitution..
The Catholic Church is larger than the Church of England in England. The Pope speaks out all the Time.. everyday...
500,000 Kurds have converted to catholicism in Iraq... over 1 Million Morrocans and over 1 Million Algerians have Converted from Islam to catholcism..
The Pope Met with the King of saudi Arabia two yeRS AGO TO open Saudi Arabia to Catholicism. The Pope Reminds him the Arabic carved Sayings In inner sanctum Holy cities of mecca and medina are from the Catholic Bible..
They are in negotiations.... The King of Bahrain has invited the pope to Visit... as well as Kuwait Emir...
Europe is dying for its lack of Practicing its faith! 3-5% of Protestants attend Mass... Abortion has Bankrupted it Morally and future generations.
Don’t Blame the Pope blame the Archbishop of canterbury he is capitulating to Muslims sharia law, Homosexuality Abortion...etc...
On Moral Issues the Pope is the Light Not the Problem!
Remember what Christ said.. Peter upon this Rock I build my church it will prevail until the end of time and the gates of hell. He didn’t make that claim for Protestants benefit...when they rejected his Church and Changed the word of GOD His Bible by removing books and actually believed they could leave and improve upon the church GOD himself Founded. Sounds like a reformation founded on the Sin of Pride the root of all evil.
Pope in ‘freedom’ blast at Islam
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-483202/Pope-freedom-blast-Islam.html
yet another country and nothing from the Pope form the west and nothing from the West.
For crying out loud will some in the west wake up and stop being PC.
Even google censoring to now this, makes me sick
Don’t forget the catholic Church in the Phillipines today where a grenade was launched or richmond Va where a Bomb squad came in or India where 7 churches were stoned... or the 20-30 weekly in USA where statues are defaced or Broken. and Churches Robbed Priest beaten... 5 of those over the weekend...
The Catholic church is Countercultural while quietly leading...19% of Hospital beds are Catholic owned... Leading addiction rehabilitaion Catholic, Leading Hospice provider catholic.... leading provider of Social services catholic Church..
islam is not just religious and that is what those who say religious freedom for them do not understand.
islam looks to take over, it is a law which does not abide to any other law including the wests laws,
If we call for a ban on islam we hear the left saying and some on the right saying religious freedom.
what a crock, it is a way for them to overtake and impose sharia
maybe the Pope could be more forceful than it is .
As soon as a church is burned then the pope needs to get out and tell muslims to stop it plus the pope should be onto all world leaders about this.
burn a mosque and all hell breaks lose, church goes in flames and nothing and the muslims know this.
1. In his address to the new ambassador, Pope Benedict praised certain initiatives the Republic of Turkey has taken “to make a significant contibution to the effort to bring peace and stability to the Middle East,” since the country serves “as a bridge between Islam and the West.” The Holy See, he said, is eager “to support further efforts to put an end to long-standing conflicts in the region.”
Good that he spoke for the Catholics, but then he weakens as Turkey has turned on Israel.
2. The Vatican endorsed Sharia banking, so now they are talking out of both sides of their mouth.
3.2006...like I said he backed off since then. That is also not speaking out against the spread of Islam. The political aspect of Islam is an even greater threat than potential suicide bombers
4.”Islam is very important, but there are also other great Asiatic religious traditions. Islam is one religion,” he reveals on Catholic website Terrasanta.net.
Still speaking fondly of Islam.
5.Vatican Denounces Nun’s Murder in Somalia So? He should and this is still not speaking out against Islam advancing across the West.
6. Pope Baptizes Prominent Italian Muslim at Easter Vigil Service
Yea, and this is a stand against Islam devouring Europe?
7.2006 again and thing are getting worse, and the Vatican is saying less. Like I said, he started out good.
8.That was good, but it would be nice if he actually stuck to his message, instead of turning around and endorsing Sharia banking.
9.This is not a strong message against Islam.
“Islam is very important, but there are also other great Asiatic religious traditions. Islam is one religion,” he reveals on Catholic website Terrasanta.net.
10.Great, but he is not the Vatican. As for the Vatican they are not even close to sending out a strong message against the threat of Islam taking over the West. I’ll take Rod Parsley and Franklin Graham’s messages over these any day.
archbishop and the pope should be more forceful.
course it’s bigger than the C’of ‘E but it’s not bigger than the prods though why you felt to bring this up is beyond me.
They’re not looking at catholic and prods they’re looking at Christians and the way of life of the west.
The Pope is speaking out, where and when just so In know when to see him do so .
Burn a mosque and the muslim countries and leaders will be all over this.
The Vatican is basically sitting around and watching Islam devour Europe and they even added to the problem by endorsing Sharia banking. Their message against the West falling to Islam is not strong at all.
Rod Parsley and Franklin Graham have much stronger messages.
why on earth do you keep going on about how great your catholic religion is?
This has to do with Christianity as muslims don’t make a difference between Baptists, Hindu’s. Mormons , Jews ,catholic, or what ever.
They want to take the west over and impose sharia, they’re attacking because the west and the pope and yes the archbishop are too PC and nothing is happening to them.
Most muslim view Christians as soft, you know turn the other cheek, love they neighbor.
they view us as weak and pathetic and while the west stays silent the attacks will keep going on
Meeting with the Saudis and actually accomplishing something with them are two different things.
Consider the thread MUSLIMS ATTACK TEN CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN MALAYSIA:
Nine Christian churches have been fire-bombed by Malaysian Muslims. The attacks have been prompted by a court ruling that allowed a Catholic newspaper, to use the Arabic word “Allah” in reference to God.Now consider what would happen to vulnerable Catholics and Protestants worldwide if the Pope openly criticized Islam.
The Pope has to actually think about the effects of what he says in public, and who may suffer because of his words.
Good question when they seem to be quite vocal when it comes to Global Warming.
I am sorry to say I am not all that impressed with the current Pope.
out of curiousity
should he not say anything or be more forceful?
if we stay silent then they look at it as weak and if he says something then some will say he is instigating it.
Having come from a country and seen how islam takes over then staying silent does not work, turn the cheek certainly does not work as it is being shown right now.
my wife and I are methodists. In yesterday’s bulletin was a little blurb about how the church was going to write a letter to Obama discussing how wrong the war in Afghanistan is and I believe how we should cease hostilities and opt for “peace”.
Like somehow Islamists will stop the killing before they die in a suicide attack or we give them the intro to the 72 virgins via a 5.56mm or .308 injection.
The holy war is just beginning and it would be nice if people started to realize it.
Has any one repeatedley called for religious freedom in Muslim countries as often or as strongly as the Pope? No
This notion that the Vatican supports Sharia is false. It was laypeople's opinion piece in the L'Osservatore. That is a weekly paper and believe it or not, not everything in it is Pope approved. In fact:
A common error for journalists and theologians is to interpret the texts of L'Osservatore Romano as if they were of official value for the Magisterium. In fact, they cannot have such a value, except if a high-ranking bishop is writing a more solemn text, and not a mere theological opinion. Otherwise, L'Osservatore does not have the ability to write or approve encyclicals and papal allocutions.
For instance, a 2008 article expressed the wish that the debate on brain death be re-opened because of new developments in the medical world. An official spokesman said that the article presented a personal opinion of the author and "did not reflect a change in the Catholic Church's position".

Of course, all the idiots that excerpted the Pope’s speech twisted it to meet their agenda as if the Pope was suddenly an algore follower. Pope Benedict is very shrewd and not nearly the numbskull tree hugger the media made him out to be.
