Pope and top imam embrace in historic meeting at Vatican
Yahoo News ^ | May 22, 2016

Posted on 05/23/2016 5:31:30 AM PDT by detective

Pope Francis met the grand imam of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque at the Vatican on Monday in a historic encounter that was sealed with a hugely symbolic hug and exchange of kisses.

The first Vatican meeting between the leader of the world's Catholics and the highest authority in Sunni Islam marks the culmination of a significant improvement in relations between the two faiths since Francis took office in 2013.

"Our meeting is the message," Francis said in a brief comment to a small pool of reporters present at the start of his meeting with Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb.

"Our meeting is the message," Francis said

Yes it is -- Christian weakness and submission.

>>Please cite the scripture source, thank-you!<<

Not only will I, here is a pretty good study source. There are literally hundreds of bible based studies....google is your friend Biggirl. For all those out there not acquainted with Scriptures regarding this subject, pray for His wisdom, His guidance and understanding.

What fellowship hath light with darkness? None! This says all that needs to be said about this imposter Pope. But it isn’t as if those things haven’t been made clear in numerous ways before this.

ya just can't make this up.....

"... followed the easing of serious tensions that marked the reign of Francis's predecessor, Benedict XVI. Ties were badly soured when the now-retired Benedict made a September 2006 speech in which he was perceived to have linked Islam to violence, sparking deadly protests in several countries and reprisal attacks on Christians...."

The sheer numbers of leaders these days who are outright fools when it comes to the cancer of Islam is astounding.

Would this Pope have been willing to embrace Anton LaVey at the Vatican, and praise the church of Satan?

Sorry, pope, but making kissy-face with bearded savages just gets your face dirty.

How long are Catholics going to put up with this?

This JERK (the pope) would embrace Hitler and try and make friends.

I suggest this IDIOT read the old testament, obviously he never has. I did a search for the old timey word “smite”. This is just one, of many, examples of God “takin care of business”. In this case He, God Himself, personally joins the fight.

Jeremiah 21: (King James Version (KJV)

4 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

7 And afterward, saith the Lord, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

Now, do you think God today, would embrace Islam or their leaders? A FALSE god and FALSE prophets?

God has given us “free will”, and look what we are doing with it? What FOOLS like this pope is doing with it.

This MORON must go! I’m not Catholic, but he makes ALL Christians look bad.

This pope is a DOPE.

“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” This is the quote that Pope Benedict used in his lecture on faith and reason. The Muslims were so reasonable in their refuting of this comment that they murdered a nun and a security guard at a clinic in Somalia,in addition to various other worldwide acts of mayhem.

From a Chaldean Bishop in Iraq under attack from Isis:
“You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.” The article is linked below.
