Pope's blunt approach to dialogue strains existing interfaith bridges

[bones_IV]

This article made me feel very uncomfortable from the beginning. Given that this article is from the USCCB’s official news site, this is typical liberalism. An example of how bishops run away from their flocks.

Pope Benedict XVI tells it like it is. People do not like that and it shows.

In case folks miss it, the article in question is a “Vatican Letter” rather than a news story. The Vatican Letter is a weekly column written by the Rome bureau of CNS. catholicnews.com/data/vatican/vatltr.htm

I support dialogue, which was the intent of his words, not to fan the fires of hatred for the West that continues, particularly of the USA position relative to the Israel/Lebanon situation and our presence in Iraq.

I will continue to pray for better dialogue as we move forward. The anti Catholic acts of death and destruction are not needed.

I agree, he’s not Benedict the Brave for nothing is he?
