Pope Francis has told worshippers in a mosque in the Central African Republic that "Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters". He was speaking to Muslims who had sought shelter in the capital Bangui after nearly three years of violence between Christians and Muslims. The mosque visit was seen as perhaps the most difficult part of his Africa tour, a BBC correspondent says. Pope Francis then held the final Mass of his Africa trip in Bangui. He was speaking in Latin, which was then translated into the local Sango language. His message of reconciliation appeared to have an immediate impact, as a reporter from the AFP news agency spotted a group of Muslim rebels turn up at the Mass wearing t-shirts with the Pope's image on them.
The Pope has now left the CAR at the end of his six-day visit to the continent. More than 100,000 Muslims fled the capital as a result of the fighting but 15,000 are left in an area called PK5, according to the campaign group Human Rights Watch. Imam Tidiani Moussa Naibi thanked the Pope for his visit and said it was "a symbol which we all understand", the AP news agency reports. There was tight security for the visit to the Koudoukou mosque and armed UN peacekeepers were stationed on its minarets watching the crowds who had come to greet the pontiff. On Sunday, the Pope called on fighting factions in the CAR to lay down their weapons. About half of CAR's population is Christian and 15% Muslim...

Followers of this demonic idol are not brothers. Rather they are demonized idolators who are led by a false spirit. The false prophet of Islam, Mohammed, was inspired by Allah as he raped, killed, stole, destroyed, deceived, and pillaged his way through Arabia. Followers of Islam believe Mohammed to be the "perfect man", showing that Islam is a cognitive dissonant mental illness, masking as politics/religion. Muslims are not our brothers...
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Cain and Abel were brothers. ‘Nuff said.
The price of tea in China is high. Back at you.
Not to mention the way that was worded, “violence between Christians and Muslims” as if the Christians are the offense. I guess we’re to turn the other cheek, eh Francis?
Does that make Bruce Jenner our sister?
Whenever I see a story about this Pope I expect him to come out for gay marriage and abortion. It appears he is working up to it or he is so often misquoted I don’t know what to think of him.
They are my enemy, I'm commanded to love my enemy and pray for them, and I do every day. I pray that they find Christ.
We need a wartime consiglieri and a Pope with a backbone like JPII.
So we have a Marxist mentally impaired Pres__ent, a one-lung Marxist climate change fighting Pope ,, and the party of Marxist controlled Dems running a field of full-blown Marxists for the 2016 elections.
Some Transformation indeed.
and we should worry about our Muslim brother and his religion and the following of the faiths we each proclaim.. and ignore... Reality.
Ok.
Was there a team of security personnel around when he said this? If so, then he's a hypocrite at best. At worst:
Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good..."
And the blood of the naive, who believe such lies, is on his hands.
No, we are not, absolutely not. One group, mine, follows the One Who sacrificed Himself to save humanity. The other team reveres a child-raping mass murderer. Any questions?
Either the deity of Islam is or is not the deity of the Bible. The book that followers of Islam’s deity venerate as “holy” contradicts substantial portions of the Bible. For a Christian to accept that Muslims in essence shared the same faith, and therefore the deities are one and the same requires the Christian to repudiate the Bible. Yet Jesus validated the Scriptures.
Any person who holds this position is calling Jesus unfaithful and untrue. It is contradictory to the very basis of faith in His sacrifice and the basis for salvation.
If anyone is in doubt, let him read the Gospels in full.
Exactly!
> Cain and Abel were brothers.
So were Isaac and Ishmael.
So were Isaac and Ishmael.
And so it began...

Is the Pope Catholic?
I don’t think so..
Cain and Able were brothers.
