The Catholic Church leader called for "building" the Christian-Islamic dialogue with patience: "The work that they do, is a work of building."
The Royal Institute for Interfaith Studies, was the initiator of the letter of 138 Muslim representatives in 2007. It was written in response to the famous Regensburg speech of Benedict XVI.
Pope Francis: "In a meeting like this dialogue is the operative word. And dialogue means to come out - with the word and with yourself. To say his word and hear the word of the other. Two words come together there, two thoughts. This is the first stage of the path. "
However, it wouldn't be sufficient to remain in the dialogue. Even "the hearts meet." Going from the dialogue to a "dialogue of friendship", and this leads "to a handshake." "Word, heart, hands, it is easy! Even a child understands it," the Pope said.
Francis told the representatives of Islam: "We all have a common father - we are brothers!"
The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, which is headed by Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, had planned the event.
The attitude of Pope Francis to Islam: Part of the "people of God"?
Last January, it was announced by the Vatican that Pope Francis will visit the Great Mosque of Rome after the visit to the Roman synagogue. As Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi announced the visit would take place on on April 10. Since then, nothing has been discussed for mosque visit.
Already in November 2015 it had been circulated by Francis is allegedlt had the intention to write an encyclical about Islam.
This past Holy Thursday, the Catholic Church leader visited a refugee center in Rome. In his address to the mostly Muslim refugees, the Pope said that the Muslims would belong to the "people of God". An equivalence of Islam was highlighted in January by the first "video of the Pope", where Islam, Judaism and Buddhism were put visually on the same level with Christianity in a message from the Pope.

Both reject the truths of Jesus transmitted by the Apostles and faithfully taught by the extension of Christ on earth His holy Catholic Church. So, yes. They are brothers.
ReplyDeleteThey both serve the same master, and it ain't the one true god.
DeleteSatan speaks
DeleteYou'd better to read the Koran, Jesus is a prophet, but only Mohammed is the greatest, and the merciful Allah is the only one god, just like the god of Christians and Jews, so we are brothers, also sprache Zarathustra.....
ReplyDeleteAllah isn't God, thanks God.
DeleteOur God is triune, Father, Son and Spirit.
Therefore Allah is a false god.
The word of God in the ancient and present liturgies of the Catholic and Orthodox churches of the Syriac tradition is 'Allah'.
DeleteThis is a simple verifiable fact.
Tancred, the censor, appears to be allergic to inconvenient truth.
Wonder what his excuse is?
Vincent you missed the point Jac was making. God is three in one and one in three. The Aramaic word for "God" in the language of Assyrian Christians is ʼĔlāhā, or Alaha. Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allah" to mean "God".[6] The Christian Arabs of today have no other word for "God" than "Allah".[29] (Even the Arabic-descended Maltese language of Malta, whose population is almost entirely Roman Catholic, uses Alla for "God".) Arab Christians, for example, use the terms Allāh al-ab (الله الأب) for God the Father, Allāh al-ibn (الله الابن) for God the Son, and Allāh al-rūḥ al-quds (الله الروح القدس) for God the Holy Spirit. (See God in Christianity for the Christian concept of God.)We are not idiots. We are not brothers of Islam because Islam is a lie invented by a violent killer thief liar rapist. How could anyone build anything on so rotten an example and cult leader. What makes Islam virulent is violence and polygamy.

DeleteThank you for good information.
DeleteShallow thinking, Mincent? At least, unlike many of your Freemasonic soulmates in Rome high places in Rome, John Fisher can differentiate between the Moslem menace and the Moslem Shrine Circus.
DeleteIt's not just shallow thinking but classic, very clumsy plagiarism to boot, Circus man, but that's just fine with you as it save the arduous business of independent thinking.
DeleteSo, here it is again:
Vincent May 4, 2016 at 6:09 PM
Not so clever with the cut and paste work, John. The references numbers left in the text and the subsequent lack of acknowledgment are a dead give away for the lazy mind and the shallow thinker.
You are lucky to have Censor Tancred to delete the expose.
We mustn't let plagiarism get in the way of holding the party line, would we?
Hey Mince,
DeletePlagiarism? did he try to profit from what he wrote? Let's see you go after Martin Luther King for his rip offs of Tilich, or your hero, JFK for pooching off Cicero. Your selective indignation, and straining at John Fisher, doesn't work here.
Let's pretend, Mincey, you are right about everything you ever wrote here. So what if he plagiarized? Let's get, as yhou and your cellmates would call it, the "dialog" rolling.
Of course you are to cowardly to answer and to intellectually lazy to know where to begin.
And your pals in Rome, Mince, are still shallow thinkers and worse than plagiarists of Our Lord's words. But tell us, Mr. or Ms, Independent Thinker, one so called thought of yours that differs from, say, Kasper's.
DeleteFavorite colors and wallpaper patterns don't count.
It ain't gonna happen.
I told you to get off the booze. You've started early this time. Slurred words, misspelling, free association in search of logical positivism, what a show.
DeleteThe scale of irrationality here is simply spectacular and it's all fuelled by Jack Daniels.
Sleep it off now, Circus Man.
Logical positivism???? After you quit avoiding giving answers, tell us if you even know what logical positivism is.
DeleteOf course I misspell- my profession isn't typing. Of course, you were in the clerical track at your Christian Brothers or Basilian boys school.
Get help, urgently.
DeleteFunny, was that your original thought? Sorry, I think one of your homo-justifying heroes, Ann Landers or Dear Abby, maybe both, have already invented that line. Sounds like plagiarism.
DeleteAnd now we know what you read in addition to theology, and the lessons you draw from your theological readings. Discussed eqarnestly in certain coastal big-city bars, and other places, as one is given to understand.

DeleteQ.E.D.
DeleteImagine the parties Levada and Niederauer have in Santa Barbara. Does Vince mince in?
DeleteIt's quite obvious from your chatter that you, Tancred, and your friend Barnum are very familiar with the gay bar scene.
DeleteYou both must be mightily cheered by what Pope Francis had to say about you fellows in Amoris Laetitia.
Nobody camps it up like you do with fruity non-sequiturs and fussy salon quibbling.
DeleteUnfortunately, anyone who has spent any time in ecclesial circles gets some education in the parasitic subclass to which you belong.
Carl and Vincent...as flaming queen as it gets. Why don't you 2 enjoy a nice chai together before you go pee in the girls room in tandem?

DeleteF.L.A.M.I.N.G. putz.
Try Rehab before it's too late.
DeleteAt first I thought you might be merely ironic, but it's also likely that you actually believe in this superego you've constructed to the delight of the circle of moral derelicts you put yourself into.
Delete'Moral derelicts?' you have the advantage there, don't you, Tancred?
DeleteI don't make a habit of wasting my time trolling a Catholic website because it disagrees with my chosen vice, no.
DeleteAfter you give off venting, moralizing and projecting your own fantasies, you might just ponder the state of affairs in your end of conservative blogdom.
DeleteEarlier, I posted a cut and pasted a section of Mundabor's latest piece of dribbling free association in which he utterly dismissed the very people who are lionized here as the savors of Catholicism: Burke, Mueller, Brandmueller, Sarah and others. Mundabor's hatred and contempt for them surpasses the same levels of bats' bile he sprays at 'the Evil Clown' his code for Pope Francis.
Some of your followers on this blog are now well and truly in the same state of mind, heart and spirit as Mundabor.
Take a look at the catalog of Pope Francis badmouthers you post without any attempt to moderate or correct. That means, in effect, that you condone or passively accept these views. You have put yourself in a very dangerous place as far as Catholicism is concerned and an extremely vulnerable place as far as moral responsibility and accountability are concerned. The expressly anti-Francis wing of conservative Catholicism is terminally fragmenting right now and more and more of those who don't have the inner resources to deal with complexity, nuance and difference in theological and liturgical matters are quickly drifting off into either explicit or de facto sede-vacantism. If you have any wits, you would know those to whom I refer.
Think about these things and don't just react.
Th
Haven't Freud's theories been even more discredited than your senile ramblings? Nobody takes these kinds of recriminations seriously any more.
DeleteAnd I think that Mundabor and a lot of the people here are justified in their anger at the way the Church has been overrun by demons and imps like yourself.
DeleteThis is a modern day Froissart's Chronicles, and the ecclesiastical establishment has no one to blame but themselves that it exists and grows.
Speak for yourself, Tancred. Claiming universals like 'nobody' is not only disingenuous, it's dangerous. The projection of one's personal insecurities and delusions never work for long before they are exposed and named for what they are. Most of the people who post on this site and others like it are under going right now a quite dramatic and catastrophic personality disintegration.
DeleteMundabor, Ray Blake, Zuhlsdorf, Hunwicke, the Rorate brigade, Remnant, First Things, the Acton crowd and others are clear examples of people who have gone from wherever they were to deposit their pathologies into the most sterile form of antiquarianism imaginable. That's what happens when people confuse Christ with an ideology.
In time, you may come to understand and appreciate this.
Ok, maybe the dwindling and ossified "We Are Church" rest home for heresy and hatred for all things Catholic, think that Freudian psychology offers penetrating and valuable glimpses into a man's soul.
DeleteRorate and the rest have been astonishingly accurate about this pontificate, but none of your confreres in the Patheos or EWTN Brigades have apologized to them.
Even Damian has seen the err of his ways.
How does it feel at the end of your life to realize that all you've struggled to build is withering away?
Take an honest look around your part of the Conservative Catholic enclave. There is no theologian of any note who articulates a coherent, congruent and persuasive argument for practically any position espoused by most people on this board.
DeleteYour clientele has lost confidence in the Cardinals Twelve, or was it Thirteen, who ostensibly successfully defended orthodoxy at the Synods? They're not here, they are sitting under Pope Francis big tent of Consensus. They know the Tradition, real orthodoxy, where it starts and ends while most of the people and groups I mentioned in the past posting do not. A huge number of those you and your friends identify with are converts who have come from either agnosticism or Protestantism straight to the most unenlightened branch of conservatism and avoiding Catholicism on the way through.
What you are attempting to defend here has nothing to do with Catholicism, Faith, Orthodoxy or even God, it has everything to do with an exotic porridge of quaint, psychologically deviant, undemocratic, monarchicalism with its elitist social class systems, entitlement of many kinds and stolen wealth. Jesus Christ and his Gospel do not have a home in that cosmos.
You need to understand all this very clearly, otherwise there will be no growth in authentic faith and genuine inner freedom.
Speak for yourself, feybrielle, your modernist world is dying.
DeleteYou are not being rational at all. That is one of the key points I was making.
DeleteYou must think.
And who is feybrielle?
We're not going to have these sidebar discussions about your monomaniacal obsession with people's reactions to Bergoglio's problematic papacy in which you attempt to make off topic jabs at the integrity of people you probably despise to begin with, since they believe something you've long since abandoned, if you ever were a believer.
DeleteTancred, when "people's reactions to Bergoglio's 'problematic' papacy reach the very heights of hostility, outright hatred and explicit death wishes, then you should be alarmed and worried about a culture of contempt which is the antithesis of what Christ taught his disciples.
DeleteYou let continue almost without check. This makes you complicit. As I said, you need to think about this and stop coming back with the knee jerk brush reactions which are tarted up for local consumption but which fail to stop the rot.
You received a boot up the backside from som very prestigious conservatives when you did the Kasper is dead gig and it blew up in your face. You should have learned your lesson. Wake up to yourself and grow up.
Get help. Find a more productive outlet for your aggression, Mince.
DeleteAnd you appear to have an unresolved aggressive attitude in relation to the verb 'to be.'
DeleteWhat a performer. You really know where and when to name your ground, don't you, O Knight?
This isn't your blog. Find somewhere else to tart.
DeleteIf the contemporary magisterium does not claim to be able to judge exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, if they cannot judge that there is known salvation outside the Church, if they will stop making this objective error, then it would mean all Muslims need to formally convert into the Catholic Church, to avoid the fires of Hell.-Lionel Andrades
ReplyDeleteMoral and faith teachings have been changed by the contemporary magisterium by assuming we can judge what only God can judge
http://eucharistandmission.blogspot.it/2016/05/moral-and-faith-teachings-have-been.html
Does not mean that one of the 'brothers' won't lop off your head...
ReplyDeleteObviously, Bergoglio and most of his "brothers" have a lot in common, as both wish for the destruction of the Catholic Faith.
ReplyDeleteTancred, is it too late to change my vote in last month's poll?
ReplyDeleteWhen you polled readers-Pope Francis Leaves Me Feeling Betrayed Every Single Day I prevoiusly answered "Mostly Describes Me" but now I believe that phrase completely describes me.
According to Vat 2, we are indeed children of the same God, so unless you reject Vat 2 and the popes who have promulgated it, enjoy your pope!
ReplyDeleteThe Apostles Creed says it all....the modern popes can try to circumvent but the popes will be found in grave error. The church thrived before Vatican II and has become relativistic since. Again the Aposltes Creed will not be denied by those remaining in the Faith.
DeleteThe attributes of the god or Islam are not those of the True God. God is reason and good "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only bad and inhumane, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."
DeleteMore unacknowledged script! This is a very bad habit John but no Arabic mini-bites this time.
DeleteMore unsolicited verbal bric-à-brac?

They can pincer move all they like, when they run into a Russian army from the nation of Russia consecrated by the Pope (which we know WILL happen), they're done like dinner, stick a fork in em'.
DeleteThis modernist Pope never runs out of methods to undermine the true faith.
ReplyDeleteList them and explain what they are, Charlie.
DeleteWe catalogue them here and they are too numerous to mention.
DeleteTry that one in court Tancred.
DeleteThanks for providing the non-Catholic perspective, Mince, but isn't your plate full enough?
DeleteFranciscus is seeking that the priests,nuns and teachers responsible for my religious education were all deluded. Mother Church is not The One True Faith anymore apparently. Mind you it would appear a large number of prelates and clergy appear to be of the same mind. Regardless, I go with my teachers of years ago.
ReplyDeleteMoham's deity has no son and no persons.

In both Islam and Judaism, God (YHWH, Allah) is confessed as both One person and relational. Read a book and improve your mind, viterbo then you too can 'move on.'
DeleteCorrect, one god, however Catholics believe in the triune God which is not the God of the Talmud or Koran. They don't believe in the Caro, the flesh, the God made man, if you believe they do, show me where they believe this. If they don't believe what the Church has always believed and which is required to believe to be a Christian, they are false religions. They can call this deity in their false religions anything they like.
DeleteYes, we are "brothers" with Muslims just like Cain and Abel were brothers. It just didn't turn out well for the good and faithful one,unless of course, we are longing for martyrdom. I acknowledge individuals as the image and likeness of God, however Islam as an ideology must be eradicated.
ReplyDeleteSimply ask a Muslim who knows anything about his religion if he believes in the Trinity. Then ask who died on the Cross.
ReplyDeleteThat should suffice to clear up any confusion about who his brothers are.
Now, if one IS his brother in faith, well, that should clear up any confusion as to what HIS religion is...
Islam, people of God ?
ReplyDeleteNo, Islam is people of Allah.
Who is this "we" he keeps saying? Him and the mouse in his pocket?
