Jesus teaches faith creates division. Pope says nope
Religious fundamentalism is a ‘plague,’ pope says

ROME - Interreligious dialogue is an important way to counter fundamentalist groups as well as the unjust accusation that religions sow division, Pope Francis said.
It is not an unjust accusation. It is a truth taught by Jesus Christ.
Matthew 10:34-39 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
34 Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.
35 For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
One has to assume the Pope does not know these words of Jesus for if he did, he would not publicly oppose The teachings of Jesus, would he?
Meeting with members of the Argentine Institute for Interreligious Dialogue Nov. 18, the pope said that in “today’s precarious world, dialogue among religions is not a weakness. It finds its reason for being in the dialogue of God with humanity.”
Recalling a scene from the 11th-century poem, “The Song of Roland,” in which Christians threatened Muslims “to choose between baptism or death,” the pope denounced the fundamentalist mentality which “we cannot accept nor understand and cannot function anymore.”
Do you think the Pope has both read the Song and understands it is an epic poem and not a historical rhymed recaptiulation?
Hmmm...
Any leader who attacks the actions of dead Catholics who can no monger defend themselves is a leader unworthy of his authority.
Sell, lets take a look at Saint Placid and what happened to him and his companions who were attacked and taken prisoners by Muslims as they snag the night office.
Unlike what happened at the Synod, the faithful Catholics refused to offer worship to idols.
Hmm, maybe ether is why Pope Francis did not speak about them:
