BENEDICT ON ISLAM
Dom has posted several blogs on the Pope's difficulties in Regensberg. This one, which discusses Fr. Fessio's interpretation of the Pope's thinking is particularly interesting.
Some of the commenters in these various entries are asking where the rest of the bishops are who have not taken a stand with the Pope. So far it seems that only Archbishop Pell is standing with Benedict. I don't recall hearing that any cardinals are standing with him either.
War words that fan the flames are not appropriate, but solidarity with the leader of our faith is. We can't keep pretending that Islam means Christianity no harm, when the evidence to the contrary seems to be supremely obvious.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for Benedict and for the rest of us!
