Once again, you all are incapable of acknowledging that this was wrong. It was wrong for any Christian to treat the koran as something worthy of respect. It is not. The Bishop of Rome did something that, whatever his motives, was wrong.

Equally, it is wrong for you to say "YOU ALL are incapable of acknowledging this was wrong."

I know many, many Catholics who have openly stated their displeasure in him doing this. I have been one of them and have stated it before on FR.

Let me state it again. It was wrong and he should have never done that.

Sorry, you are absolutely right.I should not have painted with so broad a brush. The thing that stuck in my craw about the post I responded to is this idiot correlation ascribed by some Roman Catholics to "Protestants" and Islam. This theory was popularized by Belloc and although it makes some of the smug set feel ever so superior, it is perhaps time to revisit the actual real world evidence that there are some commonalities of significance. This thesis may titillate the arch Catholics, but the actuality of what we face in what is left of Christendom today vis a vis Islam is not something from which we can blink. It is time for all Christians to pull together, drop the nonsense, and destroy the enemy, ' cause it is not Jerry Falwell, James Dobson or for those in my camp, Pope Benedict who stands opposite with SWORDS drawn!
