Moved to Crisis sub-forum, where it belongs.

Edit: we just found a referring article describing the Assisi 3 event. We picked up the letter on April 24th, two days before Rorate got it, describing the Pope's intention with Assisi.

Rorate has entitled their most recent article, "Pope explains why he's going to Assisi 3". Katholisches is much more accurate, and frankly, just.

Many of those commenting at Rorate don't seem to understand the article, or believe that the Pope is in earnest. The Pope's words themselves are actually quite shocking and unprecedented.

They don't appreciate that the Pope is actually attempting to the address their concerns. Maybe it's just shellshock?

Quote from: Cardinal Leo Burke

The Holy Father wanted to underline the idea of a Pilgrimage to Truth: not in order to pray in various ways with the danger of mixing the supernatural faith and natural religions, rather a common way back to the one truth.

There is no 'common way' back to the one truth... there's only ONE way to the ONE truth: Repent, be baptized, live a life of sanctity IN CHRIST'S CHURCH. OUTSIDE of His Church, there IS NO SALVATION. THERE IS NO WAY TO FIND CHRIST WHILE PRAYING TO YOUR DEAD ANCESTORS. THERE IS NO WAY TO FIND CHRIST WHILE PRAYING TO AL--H.

If Ratzinger wants 'Assisi 3' to be anything but a rehash of the first two meetings, he'd better brush up on his Bible:

"I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME."

"...THE CHURCH OF GOD, WHICH IS THE PILLAR AND GROUND OF THE TRUTH."

St. Anthony of Padua, hammer of heretics, terror of Hell, pray for us.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

You may not be able to polish a turd, but you can always roll it in glitter!

Sadly Ratzinger doesn't believe in the bible so I dont think that would do much good. In his latest book he says that the Gospels cant be taken literally in regards to certain perceived anti Jєω passages during the passion narratives.

What's more, he thinks alot of things in the Bible are just "fairy tales".
