What is the meaning of the Pope praying in a mosque?

[Daffy]

In the link (jewsnews) posted above, I found this little tidbit:

“Why is there so much corruption in the Catholic Church? Look at all the sodomites who are inside the Vatican and that will answer your question! These appeasers disobey the words of their own pope, Pope Pius V, who said that sodomite priests are to be put to death:”

So that the contagion of such a grave offense may not advance with greater audacity by taking advantage of impunity, which is the greatest incitement to sin, and so as to more severely punish the clerics who are guilty of this nefarious crime and who are not frightened by the death of their souls, we determine that they should be handed over to the severity of the secular authority, which enforces civil law.

Therefore, wishing to pursue with greater rigor than we have exerted since the beginning of our pontificate, we establish that any priest or member of the clergy, either secular or regular, who commits such an execrable crime, by force of the present law be deprived of every clerical privilege, of every post, dignity and ecclesiastical benefit, and having been degraded by an ecclesiastical judge, let him be immediately delivered to the secular authority to be put to death, as mandated by law as the fitting punishment for laymen who have sunk into this abyss.

“There should be no doubt that the Church recognizes that followers of Islam have elements of truth. But while it is possible for them—as for all men—to be saved if they live up to the light God has given them, it cannot be said that Islam is a path of salvation or that Muslims do not need to become Christians.

What element of truth does Islam have? The whole thing is predicated upon a lie.

It denies Jesus is the Son of God.

It denies He, and only He, is the means of forgiveness of our sins.

That's your Sensus Catholicus talking. Listen to it.

For those not familiar with the term:

Sensus Catholicus - The sense of the Catholic faith is the patrimony of all the faithful, even the simplest (in which it is often stronger), by believing what has always been believed and taught by the Church and by adhering with whole soul to the Faith of the Church. Thereby the Catholic is assisted in distinguishing what is conformed to the Faith or, on the contrary, what afflicts and corrupts it.

Hard to believe these two marxist bozos came along to screw things up at the same time.
One becoming the worst president, ever.
The other a most hopeless worthless pope

[Mrs. Don-o]

But that's no more than to say "There is no god but 'The' God."

Than you so much, LouieFisk. Fascinating stuff.

REALITY 101:

allah = satan

[JesusIsLord]

I should expect all manner of snarky, deceitful anti catholic remarks on free republic

For the record - my remark was not intended to be "snarky". If Catholic theology teaches that there is any other way to Life outside of Christ, then YES, I disagree with that theology.

I don't apologize for agreeing with the Word of God over a false theology - Catholic or otherwise.

Why would the Catholic Church teach that? Of course its snarky

[stanne]

And what Church teaches that Catholicism is a false theology? Jesus founded the Catholic Church. He appointed Peter as the head - who is buried in Rome under the basilica

“Allah” does not mean god. It is the name of a pro-Muslim diety and a Muslim diety. The proper word in Arabic for a god is “Illah”.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I am no authoritiy in Arabic grammar, orthography r philology, but I do know Christian Arabs use the term "Allah." It has caused controversy for them in Malaysia and other places, where angry Muslims accuse them of appropriating "their" word.

I suspect Muhammad actually appropriated it from the Nestorian Christians, from whom he looted (with a twist) so many theological concepts.
