« The New Pope | Main | AIPAC Finally Makes A Move » This Pope Will Fight Islam
By Micah Halpern
Thursday April 20, 2005 I've Been Thinking: This new Pope, Pope Benedict XVI, really understands Islam. I have been catching up on his writings and speeches from the past few years. To put it succinctly --- Pope Benedict sees radical Islam as a serious threat to the world, especially as a threat to Catholicism. Pope Benedict believes that there is an existential threat to the very existence of Christianity. Actually, in the year 2003 he articulated this thesis in a pseudo-official journal of the Church, La Civilta Cattolica. It was a serious divergence of opinion between the new Pope and his predecessor John Paul II. Believe me, this is a good sign for the Church and especially for Europe. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
