I am in to minds with this one really. I do not see other's saying sorry when something is done bad in their name and I feel that he has already done said sorry already.
I do think people are using just to stir up trouble, more finger pointing etc etc just to make folks mad.
what do you think.
These comments were made in an academic lecture and taken out of context.
reminds me of the guy who used the word niggardly and was accused of being a racist.
Back to those who live in glass houses as far as I'm concerned. twisted
I'm sure if he could turn the clock back he wouldn't have used that medieval reference.
It just goes to show that maybe he's like the rest of us and sometimes make stupid comments. But for someone in such a high and sensitive position it's even worse and looks as though it's already caused the death of a Nun in Somalia.
he said it and proberly ment it .
forgetting all the wars and death of human life the catholics have caused over the years . much like the pot calling the kettle black
in the minds of the catholic church there is no other religion except theres .

"Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence," - Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam.
Not a big recognition of irony there then?
Umm... where do Christians go to sign up to say the Pope does not represent them?
As for the radical Muslim reaction of violence... can't say I saw that coming. roll
So the Pope says something that someone finds offensive and they decide to burn...
Ok then.

You eccept his leadership( catholics ) by attending his congregation and giving money .
poeple dont usually follow and support ideas , dogma they dont agree with . if the masses follow like sheep dont break its no wonder they are considered supporters .
same as guilt by asssociation .
Yes, maybe he should but he has apologized and it isn't enough apparently. roll .
Definitely every muslim cleric who preaches Death to the Infidel, Death to Isreal/US/UK etc should also apologize. But they won't.
Personally, I'm sick of seeing muslims killing people and torching things over cartoons and rude remarks.
now who's religion does that sound like lol???
Sounds like mine.

That's my point. I don't (accept his leadership or give money to him or his church).
But Christians in general are being targeted for these attacks because of something the Pope said.
He's not my boss.

Better this way, than that of George and the Downing Street Poodle when they take a dislike to something.
Here you go East17, Christopher Hitchens makes the obvious point that Ratzinger doesn't speak for everybody -

"There are many popes within Christianity—the Coptic Church has one, and the Eastern Orthodox Church also boasts a patriarch or holy father—but we have acquired the habit of using the term to describe only the bishop of Rome (as the 39 Articles of the Anglican Church describe him), and this is a pity for many reasons. It confers a sort of supreme authority on the leader of only one Christian sect, and it therefore helps to give non-Christians the impression that the representative of Roman Catholicism represents rather more of the "West" than he actually does."
Not a fan meself.
