Did Jesus apologize for offending the Pharisees by calling them "hypocrites", "blind fools", "serpents", and a "brood of vipers" who are filled inside with "every kind of filth" and "evildoing"?
When he was hauled before the Jewish leaders whom he raged against, did he say he was sorry for offending them?
When he was turned over to the mobs screaming for his crucifixion, did he make a public "clarification" of what he had said about their religious leaders to quell their anger and try to initiate a "sincere dialogue" with them?
Then neither should the Pope about the Muslims.
But.... although I KNEW the Pope would back down and surrender to the terrorists - it still wrenches my gut to see it happen.
News flash - the Pope did NOT apologize. He said he was sorry for the "reaction" of the Muslims...he never apologized for what he SAID, which is quite different.
