Yurt said:I know this happened in 1999 or 2001, but I just read about online. If you go to google and type the title in you will find a plethora of cites referring to this.
My question is, why would the Pope do this? What was his reasoning?
Anyone know?
Thanks.

I'm not Catholic, but if he really did that........and he's supposed to be the "only" intermediator for the Catholics to accurately know the ways and mind of God Himself...............what's the world coming to?

the muslim, christian and jewish religions are linked. There is relation between the 3.
Christianism comes from Judaism.
Islam recognize Jesus as a prophet, like Moise or Mahomet.
Don't feed the hate between Islam and Christianism.
Look at the french muslim : friday is the day of the great prayer, like the sunday for Christians.
And the french muslims, today, at the great mosqee of Paris, pray for the Pope, and for his health.
They were with the Catholics, and suffered with them.
I think that the news of the death - or the soon death - of Jean Paul II are sad, and the people of the world, catholics, protestants, orthodox, muslim, jews, buddhists, taoists.....would be together to think to the Pope. Even if people are not believers or catholics, the Pope is not only the chief of the catholic Church, he's a world important person.

gop_jeff said:First, I agree that the Pope is a person of great importance in the world. So it's big news that he is on his deathbed.
But I take issue with the "link" between Islam, Christianity, and Judiasm. Judiasm and Christianity are certainly linked. However, Islam is a totally different religion, which pays lip service to Moses, Abraham, Jesus, etc. but rejects the Bible, and its teachings, as "corrupt.
deaddude said:And which religion is it that preaches forgiveness and not to judge lest ye be judged? So the pope got shot by A Muslim. He is just not judging all Muslims actions by that man's decision.
deaddude said:They all use the old Testament. There is your link.

deaddude said:No it does not reject the Old Testament as corrupt. Historically the muslims have been classified as one of the "People of the Book" which also includes Jews and Christians. The Link between these people is the use of the Old Testament.

For them, Jesus is not THE prophet (it is Mahomet) but he's all the same aprophet for them.

Dude you need to read the Bible alittle closer. Jesus specifically commands us to judge. Just to be careful that we judge righteously because we will be judged with that same judgment.
hen he is contradicting himself when he says judge not lest ye be judged
Turn the other cheek and if a man would take your cloak remove your coat and give it to him as well.
Those are very non judgmental things to be saying for someone encouraging us to judge.
