When Christians do things that can't be justified by the New Testament, they're going against their own faith, but when Muslims kill in the name of the Quran and the example of its prophet, they are following their faith.

How many people are going to understand or even believe that when the Muslims are telling us that they are peaceful.... and that the Qu'ran taught peace and toleration.

I'm also a journalist who has seen Francis' words twisted by Catholic and non-Catholics alike for their own purposes. And as a writer for Worthy I've also seen an increase in religious bigotry on these forums that is rooted more in politics than theology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that conducive to authentic, open, CHARITABLE discussion? Putting people into boxes, especially with inflammatory insults, is a sure fire way to ensure you never actually listen to what they have to say.

Guest shiloh357 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 On 12/2/2015 2:43:45, OakWood said: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Vatican-religion-pope-France/2015/11/30/id/703942/ Pope Francis said Monday that fundamentalism was "a disease of all religions", including the Roman Catholic Church, but had nothing to do with God. "Fundamentalism is always a tragedy. It is not religious, it lacks God, it is idolatrous," the Argentine pontiff told journalists on the plane during his return from a trip to Africa. Francis said Islam was not the only religion to suffer from violent extremists, such as the ones behind the deadly attacks in Paris which were claimed by the Islamic State. "We Catholics, we have a few, even many fundamentalists. They believe they know absolute truth and corrupt others," he said, adding: "I can say this because this is my Church". If being a "fundamentalist" Christian is a disease, I pray that I am never cured. If the Pope is against "fundamentalist" Christianity, then I throw my full support behind fundamentalist Christianity. If he is against it, it is the right way to go.
