New in PJ Media:
Christians of all traditions were likely surprised on Friday when the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue issued a message to Muslims for Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting by day and gorging by night. The fact that such a message was sent was not a surprise, as interreligious dialogue has for many years been far more important to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and other Churches than actually spreading the Gospel message. The surprising aspect was that in the message, which was entitled “Christians and Muslims: Promoters of Love and Friendship,” the Vatican asserted that Ramadan is important not just for Muslims, but for Christians as well. Christians, were you aware of this?
The message, which was signed by Cardinal Miguel Ángel Ayuso Guixot, a Spanish prelate who is the prefect of the Interreligious Dialogue Dicastery, and Msgr. Indunil Kodithuwakku Janakaratne Kankanamalage, a Sri Lankan who is its secretary, is addressed to “Dear Muslim brothers and sisters.” It immediately states, “The month of Ramadan is important for you, but also for your friends, neighbours and fellow believers of other religions, in particular Christians.” Can Cardinal Guixot or Msgr. Kankanamalage give us any examples of Christians who observe Ramadan, or who think it important?
Certainly there are many Christians who believe for various reasons that it is very important to build good relationships with Muslims, but one would be hard-pressed to find any who actually join in the fasting-and-gorging month, just as it would be difficult to find any Muslims who observe the Christian fasting season of Lent. Although there is always some overlap, particularly among people in mixed marriages, it is rare for people of one religious tradition to follow the practices of another. The Vatican is so anxious to reach out in friendship to Muslims that it is massively overstating its case. That’s not to say that most Christians have a negative view of Ramadan. They just aren’t thinking about it at all.
The Vatican message, however, goes on to assert that during Ramadan, “existing friendships are reinforced and others are built, paving the way for more peaceful, harmonious and joyful coexistence. This corresponds to the divine will for our communities, and indeed for all the members and communities of the one human family.” Gee, that’s swell, but even Guixot and Kankanamalage seem to realize that it’s a bit pollyannish, as they go on to assure us that “we are aware, dear friends, that peaceful and friendly coexistence faces many challenges and threats: extremism, radicalism, polemics, disputes, and religiously motivated violence.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
commonsense says
Ramadan should indeed be important to Christians, as well as to Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and other non-Muslims. Why? .Because the odds of being attacked by those who fight in Allah’s cause increase significantly. That’s why
Keith O says
Absolutely spot on. Ramadan is to mudslimes the month of BLM, Burn Loot Murder.

Ahh, Pope Karl the 1st is at it, again.

Quote from the “message” from these idiots, false shepherds, friends of the world: (“friends of the world are enemies of God,” per the book of James.)
“This corresponds to the divine will for our communities, and indeed for all the members and communities of the one human family.”
The pope and his henchmen, yes-men, have no idea of what is the “Divine Will.”
They don’t seem interested in reading the Bible and finding out just what God, the One they pretend to obey, worship and serve, *wills* for Christians, and surely not for the whole of mankind. These ones are spouting satan’s message.
True Christians, followers of Christ who actually care to know what He commanded, and try, to their best ability, to follow Him, do not have any part in celebrating and eating at satan’s table. Christians have no desire to “eat and drink at the table of demons,” nor do Christians wish to have a “sharing with darkness.”
Christians should be aware of this foul feast to the devil, but only to protect themselves from being involved and to be wary of anyone who would invite them to share in it.
Any Christian with a functioning brain, throws what the pope and his yes=men say out with the garbage where it belongs, to be destroyed.
These false shepherds are misleading the flock, and ”do not treat the flock with tenderness.” They are “ravenous wolves” who have infiltrated the Congregation.

As a side note somehistory. This so called Interreligious Dialogue Dicastery refuses point blank to have anything to do with Pagans.
Considering that they refer to us as devil worshipers, why would they do that if they are like you said?
somehistory says
Keith, they refuse to recognize that they worship satan the devil.
Hoi Polloi says
The Catholic Church just proved itself capable of “retiring” a pope, yet Catholics abide this mere man who preaches from his own book. Why, I ask myself, when the course seems so clear.
somehistory says
It puzzles me, that anyone listens to and believes the pope and his crew really serve God and are His servants sent to help Christians stay on the narrow path.
Jesus warned against this very thing….false shepherds, ravenous wolves in sheep clothing, misleading and being misled.

I’d love to see what would happen, if these same ignorant “individuals” would get a big group of muslims together, and tell them to repeat these words of a verse, and those are….”NO ONE comes to the Father, except through His Son, Jesus Christ!”
And maybe tell them, that they should pray before they eat a meal, or anytime there is a prayer, they MUST end every prayer, with, “In Jesus’s name, we pray. Amen”
And see what craziness is bound to happen!! Lol.
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Well said somehistory-
“You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not worship any god other than me.”

Tony Naim says
Dialogue with Islam aimed to build bonds of trust, bridges of understanding requires a sense of good will , common grounds based on equality . Which is completely lacking from this equation.
The Dogma of abrogation in Sharia law upholds violence to impose Islam on others.
The Code of Dhimmitude in Sharia law degrades Jews and Christians , elevating Muslims as supreme over all others.
Polygamy in Sharia law is a tool of demographic conquest.
Reform Sharia, abolish its toxic triad: the Dogma of abrogation, the code of Dhimmitude and polygamy then there is room to talk.

So instead of the Roman Catholic church, we now have the Mohammedan Catholic Church. The Vatican should be returned to Italy, and the Papacy should relocate to Qatar
Eye opener says
Muslims do not worship the same God as Christians. Islam is not a religion. It is a murderous Arab conquest cult. It is also not peaceful. Islam means submission.
Oh and Muhammed had 11 wives and lots of sex slaves. And his favorite wife Aisha was 6 when 50 year old muhammed married her. And consummated the marriage when she was 9. Which makes Muhammed a pedophile.

I wonder if they know, that there are over 100 verses in Satan’s book, that says to kill?
