“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman,such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” That was Pope Benedict quoting a medieaval emperor in his famous “university” speech.
One wonders why he chose those the quote, which the papacy has tried to manage after the uproar that greeted the speech. But the question arises: Who did worse, the Catholic or Islam?
The records of the Catholic Church cannot be expunged from the history books. A short list: The shameless Inquisition, the thousands that were slaughtered in the crusades, support for Nazi rise to power in Germany, initiating the slave trade, papal immorality, belief in evolution against creation, and suppoort for the UN as opposed to God’s kingdom.
The Bible clearly states that these things are wrong and that church should be separate from state. Nowonder the Scriptures foretells the imminent destruction of false religion called Baylon the great. See Isa. 2:4, Matt. 26:52, Joh. 17:16, I Cor. 6:9-10, Jas.4:4, Rev. 18:2,4.
Should President Bush have therefore given such a state reception for the head of the church that has committed the above atrocities? Does the pope’s lip service condemnation of abusive priests matter?
Well, Bush himself does not care about his legacy—if he has any. See what he said when asked about his falling approval rating: “I really am not the kind of guy that sits here and says, Oh, gosh, I’m worried about legacy.”
Such a guy could as well have given 21 gun salutes to Adolph Hitler!
