Pope Benedict posed a fair question, which was more or less, what truth did Mohammed bring that Jesus had not already addressed?
And, over a week into the affair, I have yet to see a single member of the media or non-Catholic faith take the challenge - and attempt to work through that exact question! So, I’m not reading any more of the politics, or the gossip about how so-and-so feels about who said what to whom after doing such&such… If anyone finds an attempted answer to the question that could actually start the intended dialog, that would be very rewarding.
