Secular Society Demands Pope Apologize

The Pope is getting flack, rightly so, from Muslims. But hey his comments on Islam came after another attack on liberal pluralistic democratic secular society. A society that allows him the right to speak.

Unlike Catholic Europe which decried any opposition as heresy and conducted pogroms, jailings, torture, mass murder, holy wars (jihads by any other name), etc etc.

Ironicaly his attack on Islam was an after thought. Pope Assails Secularism, Adding Note on Jihad

But the section on Islam made up just three paragraphs of the speech, and he devoted the rest to a long examination of how Western science and philosophy had divorced themselves from faith — leading to the secularization of European society that is at the heart of Benedict’s worries.

This, he said, has closed off the West from a full understanding of reality, making it also impossible to talk with cultures for whom faith is fundamental.

“The world’s profoundly religious cultures see this exclusion from the divine, from the universality of reason as an attack on their most profound convictions,” he said. “A reason which is deaf to the divine and which relegates religion into the realm of subcultures is incapable of entering into the dialogue of cultures.”

He has singled out Canada along with Germany on his Crusade against Humanism, Pluralism, and Secular society. We should all demand the pope apologize.

And lets never forget two things about this Pope....

1. He was the head of the Inquisition.

2. He was a Nazi.
