Amen to that. To many young people think just the opposite.
Allah is just Arabic for God. Arabic speaking Christians use the term as other Christians would use "God", "Gott","Dieu","Dio", "Dios", "Θεός", "Бог", etc.
The Muslims however have a considerably different vision of Him.
Yes, they have a different vision of him, to the point they are not even close to being the same.
Thanks for the ping!
Can someone help me here? I must have missed something. It appears to me from the video that there is a Roman Catholic priest who is arrested for entering the grounds of a Roman Catholic school, for protesting for the teachings of the Roman Catholic church. I don’t get it.
What did I miss here?
You missed nothing...that is correct. ND arrested him for tresspass and conducting a protest without their permission...but his protest was in support of the Church’s position on abortion.
Notre Dame had the right to arrest those demonstrating on the grounds of the campus, because they'd been warned not to enter the campus. What those people did to Fr. Weslin, however, was totally uncalled for, and was downright cruel.
BTTT
Thank you for the response Jeff.
I wonder what the Catholic church is going to do about this. I would send them a link if I had an email address to the vatican.
“The school is not owned by the Catholic Church, but has the privilege of calling itself a Catholic college.”
According to the history of Notre Dame, on their website at: http://nd.edu/aboutnd/history/
“The land had been purchased by Rev. Stephen Badin, the first Catholic priest ordained in the United States, and left in trust to the Bishop of Vincennes, Indiana, for anyone who would found a school on the site. Father Sorin and his companion Brothers of St. Joseph (later the Holy Cross Brothers) called the fledgling school, in their mother tongue, L’Universite de Notre Dame du Lac. The University was officially chartered by special act of the legislature of the State of Indiana on January 15, 1844. It is worthy of ecumenical note that a Methodist state senator, John B. De Frees, was responsible for this action and for the writing of the University’s charter as a degree-granting institution.”
The land was purchased by a Catholic priest. The school was built by another Catholic priest, then willed to an order of Catholic priests. Where did you get the idea that Notre Dame was not owned by the Catholic Church?
It was begun and owned by the Congregation of the Holy Cross , a religious order within the Church. It was never owned by the Vatican, or by the Diocese of South Bend.
Over the years, the Catholic governance of the school has diminished, to where only half of the Governing board now consists of members of the Congregation of the Holy Cross.
