The Catechism puts Judaism and Islam in...Victoria,<br /><br />The Catechism puts Judaism and Islam in the same group as Christianity: "Abrahamic Religions." Muslims, Jews, and Christians worship the same God--though, obviously, we have radically different conceptions of God. Praying in a mosque is not the same as praying in a Hindu temple or honoring Hindu deities. BTW, it's my understanding that in the middle east gifts are kissed as a sign of reception and gratitude. JPII was not reverencing the Koran as he would the gospels. Intent is vital here.<br /><br />Given all of that, I still think JPII got some dodgy advice on how to approach ecumenicism at Assisi. <br /><br />VN's gesture to the Hindu deities was not a good idea either. I don't think for a second that VN honors these gods nor does he even believe that they exist. So, there was no "worship" here. However, it has caused scandal.Fr.

How is Abp Nichols laying flowers at a Hindu altar and praying with Hindus different to Pope Benedict praying in a mosque and Pope John Paul II kissing the koran and praying with non Christians at Assisi.<br /><br />Father could you explain in language I can understand?Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403184829256955768noreply@blogger.com
