Again irrelevant and not pertinent, I've said nothing about the worthiness or lack thereof the Pope's mission (if I knew what it is) and most certainly nothing about Divine retribution (who has brought up the subject?) on anyone, by anyone, for anything.
“I”m asking you to clarify your point.
Is it that (i) the Pope has no business doing this (i.e. someone else should do it) or (ii) who cares if the Muslims bash the Catholics?”
Since neither of the above was my point or even vaguely alluded to by me there is no clarification called for things I did not say. I don't play that game.
LOL....wiggle, wiggle. So now you're not even sure of the Pope's mission? Good one. Well let me help you. It's to bring a stop to the violence in the Middle East. It's written all over the article.

OK....progress.
So we know what your point is not. I think. Sorry for being obtuse but let me explain where I'm coming from.
The overarching theme of the article is the violence being perpetrated against Christians in the Middle East. The Pope calls for peace. You ignored this. Entirely. Instead you raise the issue of violence perpetrated by Catholics over the course of history.
1) How does this relate to the current situation in the Middle East?
2) What is your point in raising the issue of the Albigensian situation, for example?
