Not satisfied with pissing off the Muslims, Pope Ratzy has declared that Protestant churches aren't "full churches of Jesus Christ". He's a bit more willing to say that the Eastern Orthodox church is kinda sorta okay, but not really because they don't acknowledge the Pope as the one true authority. Meanwhile. he's also okayed bringing back the Latin Tridentine Mass that prays for the Jews to "be delivered from darkness" by being converted to Catholicism. He hasn't found a way to insult the Hindus or the Buddhists yet, but I'm sure he's working on it.
Tell me again EXACTLY how this is encouraging understanding between religious groups? 'Cuz to me this sounds like the same old "our religion is better than your religion" crap. It's especially absurd when one Christian sect says this to another, but all the way around it just demonstrates the utter hypocrisy in suggesting that religions have anything to do with promoting compassion and understanding between people.
I grew up Lutheran and attended Lutheran schools.
I just got a newsletter from my high school, and one of the articles was about a special "outreach" program that one church is doing to "Help convert the Mormons".
It's a whole class about how to "argue" with them in a "loving", "gentle" way, etc.
Uh, yeah.

As a Buddhist, I can only don't give a rat's ass (no pun intended...nyuk nyuk) what the Pope or anyone in the Catholic has to say about my beliefs. They're entitled to them, as I am to mine, but that doesn't mean I have to trouble myself with their ignorance, intolerance, and self-righteousness.
