Vatican Bishop Lays Out 'Roadmap' for Dialogue with Islam
Catholic News Agency ^ | 11/8/16 | Andrea Gagliarducci

Vatican City, Nov 8, 2016 / 12:18 am (CNA/EWTN News).- There is a roadmap for dialogue with Islam, and its three landmarks are peace, justice and education, says a leading bishop on the subject.

Bishop Miguel Ayuso Guixot, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, explained: “on a theological level, differences still remain, and they are known. Beyond any theological difference, however, we take each other’s hand, to build together the common good.”

There is a “diverse and rich dialogue with many Islamic institutions,” the bishop told CNA Nov. 4.

Bishop Ayuso discussed how the dialogue with Islamic institutions is progressing. He gave special mention to the restoration of relations between the Holy See and the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, which, along with its companion university, is the most prominent institution of Sunni Islam.

Al-Azhar had broken relations with the Holy See back in 2011, when the Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb labeled Pope Benedict XVI’s reaction to Christmas attacks on Alexandria churches as “interference” in Egyptian internal affairs.

Only this year has the Holy See succeeded in restoring dialogue with this institution. Bishop Ayuso made a first visit to Al-Azhar on Feb. 16 and met with the Mosque’s deputy imam, Abbas Shuman.

Then the Grand Imam el Tayeb came to visit Pope Francis in the Vatican on May 23. There, he decried Islamic extremist attacks against both Christians and Muslims.

[”however, we take each other’s hand, to build together the common good”]

Ah yes, comrade. The “common good”. How very Revelation 13-ish.

It’s coming.

I have to wonder how much Bishop Miguel Ayuso Guixot actually knows about Islam.

Are we to assume that after centuries of barbarism, Islam is suddenly going to lay down its sword? Give me a break!!

You do NOT have dialogue with a psychopath. Anyone who tries is delusional and asking for trouble.

A psychopath will lie, lie, lie, and then the naive person who was talking to them will wonder what happened when they get stabbed in the back. Or in the front.

They want to “open dialogue” with savages who want to kill you simply because you’re not Muslim or a bowing and oraying to an ancient asteroid in Mecca? Sounds logical to me! Boot them out of their protected palace to have dialogue with the Muslims. Think your earthquakes have been strong so far? They’re are just omens of what’s to come if you continue down this twisted path. Then of course if they do the Muslims will be moving into the Vatican and booting the bishops out by martyring them. Second thought. Proceed with your plan. It’s obvious you’re smarter than I am...

The Catholic Church believes that Muslims believe in the same god as do the Jews and Christians. NOT TRUE.

From a pure observational standpoint, anyone can tell the nature of the Muslim god is NOT the same as the Christian/Jewish God.

From a biblical standpoint, Paul tells us that if an angel or another man gives another gospel, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. Well, an angel (supposedly Gabriel) told Mohammed a different gospel--do NOT believe it.

Historically, the message received by Mohammed instructed him to destroy ALL the temples in Mecca except for the temple of Allah (the moon god). Note that there was a different temple for EACH day of the year. Mohammed destroyed all of them except Allah's.

The fact that the Catholic Church "embraces" Muslims, IMHO, points to the statement by Pope Paul VI (?) that "the enemy has entered the sanctuary." Look what has happened to the church since the 1960s, especially considering the political/social leanings of the current pope.

Then his severed head would still be capable of carrying out a dialog, lying in a pool of blood on the ground, I take it.

The last thing Christendom needs is to try to “talk peace and justice” with the earthly Satan called Islam that seeks every day to murder Christians, Jews, Hindus, and other innocent people. At least, no more “lovey dicey chit chat”?before getting back into true communion with God — and returning the Moslem
Invaders to countries they’ve already conquered (by this exact scheme of mass invasion and then terrorism to disrupt and destroy Christian societies from within)

There’s already a perfectly good map, from around 1095 AD. Just skip the part about massacring the Jews.

I don't think the priests will have much to say after the first meeting. They will be given the usual choice, Convert, Die or pay a tax and be subject to their laws. CASE CLOSED...except that his will be like HRC &Kerry's & BHO Iran deal LOL
