** Here grief is palpable. The water we see flowing towards that empty pit reminds us of all those lives which fell prey to those who think that destruction, tearing down, is the only way to settle conflicts.**

It is the silent cry of those who were victims of a mindset which knows only violence, hatred and revenge.

And whose mindset might that be, Pope ol’ boy?

Once again, no naming of the perpetrators of these attacks. And almost an apology for the mentality of these islamist bastards.

God spare us this idiot of a man.

Maybe the Pope doesn't think about religion when he stands there in the place of sorrow, but the first responders did.

Here's the Ground Zero Cross:

And, of course, the guys who flew two planes into the buildings were also thinking about religion. Theirs.

‘interreligious service’

That is biblical code for satanic..or in star wars code lingo- star wars bar scene..

What a motley crew of satanic worshippers assembled..
Interfaith is satanic through and through.. But we should expect this kind of thing in Babylon...

and the failure to settle conflicts through dialogue.

Oh, I see.

9-11 was caused by "the failure to settle conflicts through dialog."

Got it.

“All we are saying is give peace a chance...”

“Our strength is our diversity”.

“Is the Pope Catholic?” can now be answered:

“The Pope has a faith-tradition which says ‘we can and must build unity on the basis of our diversity of languages, cultures and religions, and lift our voices against everything which would stand in the way of such unity’, and we can only do so ‘if we uproot from our hearts all feelings of hatred, vengeance and resentment’”.

This is where I got stuck:

In opposing every attempt to create a rigid uniformity, we can and must build unity on the basis of our diversity of languages, cultures and religions, and lift our voices against everything which would stand in the way of such unity. Together we are called to say “no” to every attempt to impose uniformity and “yes” to a diversity accepted and reconciled.

It is really giving me a headache. The Vicar Of Christ is saying we must build a diversity of religions?

If Billy or Franklin Graham had the audience that this Pope has had the last week, thousands upon thousands upon thousands would be saved,

There would be no mistaking were they stood on abortion/homosexuality and the removal of God/Christ from the classroom public square etc

What a waste of time the Popes visit has been, what a missed opportunity

Franklin or Billy or many other Christian pastors would have led people to Christ

This whole week has been a embarrasment

Not a word about Muslim extremism nor the continuous murder of innocents by Muslims in the birthplace of Christianity. StThomas said it is not only right to defend innocent human life from wanton destruction but it is a sin not to. This Pipe would do well to understand that.
