I think it will be very interesting to see how Benedict follows up on this. He seems to be the right man at the right time. John Paul II was the right Pope for the Cold War, but not the current war. This "apology" sounds sort of like "I'm sorry the truth hurts." What he does/says next will tell us a lot. I pray he has the resolve to continue with the unvarnished truth (and I'm Protestant).

Yes, I read that statement yesterday. The Spokesman says that his speech needs to be read carefully and that if done so, that they would see it for what it is, an attempt to have repectful dialog. NOWHERE does he say that the anything the Pope said was false or that he's sorry for saying it.

I asked the mods to add a qualifier to the title...(sorry you're offended, that is) A little better, I guess...

I would rather hear it from the pope himself rather than a "spokesman", to be fair.

The Pope has apologised to the world's Muslim community after making comments about the history of Islam, according to media reports.
He said he hoped the speech had not been taken as being intentionally offensive and insisted that the Vatican was "strongly upset" by the Islamic world's reaction, the BBC reports.

Its unbelievable that the above quote from the pope could be headlined as " I'm sorry."
He flat out states he's strongly upset by muslim reaction to the quote. That does not constitute an apology. The Pope always speaks in measured words. I strongly doubt he would retract carefully thought out positions because people "react" to them. I'm sure the Pope knew the reaction his quote would receive. The reaction absolutely reinforces the quote and becomes another example of the violent nature of the religion of peace.

Um....where is the quote where he says he's sorry for the speech? Sounds like the only thing he's sorry about is the way Islamists ignored - or are too ignorant of history, since stone age schools probably had better educational standards - the fact that he was quoting an extremely old speech.

To: Conservativegreatgrandma
what he said and now today, I feel like the air has been let out of my balloon. Help me understand. Please print the quote of the pope's words that so offend you. Just the facts. Do not print a media spin of his words.
He did not say he was sorry.
