Pope Benedict Meets With Archbishop of Canterbury to Discuss Christian-Muslim Relations....

Dhimmi vs. Anti-Dhimmi.....

Pope Benedict and the Archbishop of Canterbury discussed Christian-Muslim relations on Monday in their first meeting since the Anglican leader caused a storm in Britain with comments on Sharia law.

A Vatican spokesman said Rowan Williams and the pope spoke privately for about 20 minutes and discussed Christian-Muslim relations, inter-faith dialogue and the pope's impression of his visit to the United States last month.

He described the visit, the second official meeting between the Pope and the spiritual leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans, as "warm and friendly".

In March Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the Vatican's top man for relations with Islam, criticized Williams as mistaken and "naive" for suggesting that it was unavoidable that some aspects of Sharia, Islamic law, would be adopted in Britain.

He is in Rome for the 7th Building Bridges Seminar, an annual meeting of leading Christian and Muslim scholars for intensive study of Biblical and Koranic texts.

The theme for this year's seminar, organized together with Georgetown University in Washington D.C., is "Communicating the Word: Revelation, Translation and Interpretation in Christianity and Islam".

Georgetown is a Wahabbist whore.

I hope the Holy Father reiterated Cardinal Tauran's statement about Rowan's dhimmi statement.

Should have gave him a dressing down for not standing up for Christian values.

If this is about building bridges for Moslems to escape into Christianity or at least away from Islam, I'm all in favor. And I can understand, too, if Christian churches feel that a 'dialog' would secure the likelihood of more churches in Moslem countries (obviously to facilitate that wholesale dessertion from Islam). But we've got to realise that there are no real common words or theology and that Moslems will try to use all this dialog to stall for time while they increase demographically and so do their demands for sharia accommodation. Just say 'No' and preach the Good News.

Elric,

I don't even consider the Archdimmi to be Christian, he's a moonbat cloaked in religion. We've seen this before.

Kind of like Obama's "church," they claim to be Christian, but nobody is buying that BS.

[Elric66]

Some people do but more are catching on. Obama's church certainly opened up quite a few eyes.
