Question
Dear Marco,

Do you know what the Pope recently said that made moslems angry?

Why the Pope need to talk to moslems?
What the Pope talks about?
Does the Pope talk to other religion?

Thank you,

Frans Indroyono

Answer
Dear Frans,

you can find the Pope's speech at the following link

The moslem's reaction is totally absurd. We have certainly the right not to believe that the coran is inspired or dictated by God, as muslims believe.
I think the Pope is trying to teach to everybody, both christian and non-christians, to reject violence; no religions has to be spread through violence, but only through dialogue.

Your brother in Christ,

Marco

Probably you will find interesting my answers to questions such as: "How can I know that God exist?", "How can I know that catholicism is the true religion?", "Why does evil exist?", "Who created evil?", "Why does Hell exist?", "Why did Jesus have to suffer on the Cross?" , "If God knows everything, why did He create those souls who go to Hell?"
