Why is the pope still living by the books of the fourteenth century?
At a time when religion is such a sensitive issue, and countries are trying to educate young minds to accept different faiths, and cultivate understanding between people of different faiths and close communication gaps, a man of such a rank as the Pope had to stand there before university students and ridicule Islam.
OK, I'm open to your point of view. I'd like to know why, you think, he did what he did.
It looks to me like he was criticizing Islam subtley.
Even if the Pope was merely quoting an emperor of the fourteenth century, why did he do so? We have enough hatred and enmity in the present world, and we don't need anymore.
Sure, he made no statement that he agreed or disagreed with the emperor of bygone days, but what was his ulterior motive in quoting such a remark?
Why did the Pope CHOOSE to quote a fourteenth-century man?
