The Pope is wrong in his interpretation of not judging others, but he is fallable.

And on what are you basing your judgment and interpretation of what he said to determine that he is wrong?

He's the pope and I take it you're not.

What gives you the authority to sit in judgment on your church leaders?

Are you serious? I am a devout Catholic and have no problem having my own opinion. The Pope is a human being, not Jesus, who asks us to be non-judgemental. How do you make a decision about bad or good if you don’t use judgement? We learn from others mistakes. . . some judgement needs to be used in those and all circumstances. Idealism and common sense sometimes are opposites.

God. God gave all men reason, that we may use it to make judgements for ourselves. He wouldn’t have given it to us if He didn’t intend for us to use it.

His rhetoric is dangerous.
True, we can’t judge what is in someone’s heart, only God can do that.
But we can, and must, judge what is in their hands (a sword), their body (a bomb) or their laws (Sharia).
In Matthew 10:16 it is said: “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
We cannot put our heads in the sand and ignore the threats against us.
It is our duty to help those that cannot help themselves, like those being persecuted by the Mohammedans.
