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...

In any event, why bring this up if not to denigrate the bad old Catholic Church which appears so dark, benighted, and evil when compared to his mercy and light?

 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:

Jesus Christ and his toxic masculinity is feared by The Hierarchy

Image
Apparently that is how Jesus Christ is conceived of by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy. They are forever blathering about His compassion and Mercy because they instinctively fear that His Law and His Commands represents toxic masculinity. Toxic is the adjective used by progressive commies to describe masculinity because they hate and fear men. The Prelature fears it may someday actually have to stand before His Judgment Seat and be judged with right judgment and so instead of the masculine Resurrected Jesus Christ that makes professional soldiers cringe in fear the Roman Catholic Prelature (go on, identify one Prelate whose physicality, bearing, truth-telling, and identifiably masculine presence is objectively recognisable) is constrained to lie to itself and us that Jesus Christ is just a poor itinerant preacher or a resurrected version of a merciful  Percy Dovetonsils because the Truth of Jesus Christ is a  truth  that they can not bear to face. Jesus Christ was never, u

Dicky Ticker and Pajamas

ABS has been an Oakland Raiders fan since 1960 and he has become inured to their poor play and so he spends his viewing time mocking their incompetence because that is what a true fan of professional entertainment does. What, if you paid good money to listen to Luciano Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma * and you ended-up hearing him sound like Lemmy of  Motorhead, you wouldn't be perfectly within your rights to boo or mock  him? The Raiders defensive front four plays with all of the disarming intensity, and speed, of an old lady painstakingly searching the shelves for a bargain at The Christmas Tree Shop. Two of this front four are rookies. One, Maurice Hurst, from the University of Michigan, is burdened with a bad heart and other NFL teams would not draft him. Of course, The Raiders drafted him because bargain... ABS calls him Dicky Ticker ** The second rookie is a player from a small school college, Sam Houston State College, and although P.J. Hall is short, fat, and slow
