The same folks to bring you "Abrahamism"—the idea that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are intricately connected—have narrowed their sights on promoting Mary, the mother of Christ, as "a Jewish, Christian and Muslim woman," in the words of Catholic priest Fr. Gian Matteo of the Pontifical International Marian Academy. In a ten-week webinar series titled "Mary, a model for faith and life for Christianity and Islam," the academy will seek to present Mary as a bridge between the two religions.
This is easier said than done — at least for those still interested in facts. For starters, the claim that Mary was a "Jewish, Christian and Muslim woman" is only two-thirds true: yes, she was a Jew by race and background, and yes, she was a Christian in that she literally birthed Christ(ianity), but she was most certainly not a Muslim — a term and religion that came into being 600 years after Mary died.
Worse, far from being the Eternal Virgin, as she is for 1.5 billion Christians of the Catholic and Orthodox variety, Islam presents Mary, the Mother of Christ, as "married" to and "copulating" with Muhammad in paradise — a depiction that would seem to sever rather than build "bridges."

It is true that Islam was concocted from a weird mish-mash of Judaism and Christianity, combined with a dash of moon worship and a massive dose of theocratic mandates.
Beyond that, it has nothing in common with either Christianity or Judaism.
Maybe Malachy was right?
The Talmud isn’t complimentary of Mary by any means.
The Vatican under the command of Pope Francis is busy rebuking and supressing followers of the pre Vatican 2 liturgy form including the latin mass But when it comes to other forms of mono theistic beliefs such as the One World Abu Dhabi Movement. Francis refuses to say one word disclaiming and decrying what practice adherents of the Islam code Sharia not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to do kill those who refuse to submit to their version of Gods will .
When Christians allow men to dictate how their relationship with God should be, there will always be disappointments. The Bible explains everything we need to know; we don’t need anyone here on Earth to tell us who Mary was, nor should we be upset by shenanigans like this when we know the truth. Kind of like being told that a man with breasts, makeup, and a dress is a woman...when you know it’s a man😁
Reminds me of Tashlaan. /Narnia>
If not a troll, you are (literally) an ignorant bigot.
What you SHOULD say, is that the corrupted group around Francis, has no authority to overturn the established teachings of the Church.
Speaking of that, Sola Scriptura was an invention of men ~1500 years after Christ, and is not itself found in Scripture.
You may want to read my post again. Otherwise, get lost. I’ve had it with the rude posters here. Feel free to contact me directly for a way to meet in person. Bravery behind the keyboard is one thing...
