I was wondering how everything went with the Pope in Turkey? I didn’t get to watch the news. Did everything go well? What all did he do? Thanks and God bless.
 
taken from the website zenit.org you can read more information at your leisure…but here are the Pope’s own words "*Dear Brothers and Sisters: I have returned to the Vatican with my spirit full of gratitude to God and with sentiments of sincere affection and esteem for the inhabitants of the beloved Turkish nation, by whom I have felt welcomed and understood. The affection and cordiality that surrounded me, despite the inevitable difficulties that my visit caused to the normal unfolding of daily activities, remain with me as an intense memory that leads me to pray. May the Almighty and Merciful God help the Turkish people, its political leaders and the representatives of the religions to build together a future of peace so that Turkey can be a “bridge” of friendship and fraternal collaboration between West and East.

Let us pray, moreover, so that through the intercession of Mary Most Holy, the Holy Spirit will make this apostolic journey fruitful, and encourage throughout the world the mission of the Church, instituted by Christ to proclaim to all peoples the Gospel of truth, peace and love. "

Hello Montie,

The Church has always advocated that the use of dialog can end wars. I was wondering if Pope Benedict XVI again discussed Muslim violence related to the Koran. Seeing that the Pope came back without his head cut off, I am assumeing he only talked about superficial subjects and not the present world disaster of Muslim hatred and violence in the world toward Christianity.

Does anyone know if the Pope again brought up the present world disaster of present Koran related Muslim violence?
 
It was great to see the Pope visit Turkey! The day that he is “not allowed” to visit any country is the day we know that the real trouble will begin. Hopefully that can be avoided.
