Pluralism is NOT the official position of the Roman Catholic Church. But we all knew that. Protestants are NOT recognized as proper churches because we reject the primacy of the papacy. We all knew that too. Finally, a clear pontifical voice that affirms what protestants have been saying about Catholicism all along, but few modern RCCers seem to want to acknowledge. If it isn’t Roman Catholic then it’s not a proper Church, Pope tells Christians -Times...

He suggested that words like “jihad” and “holy war “are “incompatible with the nature of God.” Then he apologized for such an insult against Islam.
