Kissing the Koran - aquinasg - 11-13-2011
I wanted to bring this topic up, because I love John Paul II and I think he was treated most unfairly by trationalists. When he kissed the Koran, he was merely showing respect for the Muslims present. I remember being on a forum once on which someone from the Middle East said that Christians and Muslims kiss each others holy books as a sign of respect for each other; that's all. It doen't matter if it could have been interpreted as approving of Islam. At the Council of Trent, the Summa Theologica was placed side by side with the Bible. Protestants could say "look at this! The Summa Theologica is equal to the Bible!" Well, it depends what the Fathers at Trent meant to say that the Summa had great authority. Was John Paul II unwise in what he did? Well, he didn't do it in front of a lot of people. It was the traditionalist who gossiped the word all over the world. They simply didn't show the Pope the respect, honor, and love all Popes deserve from us:
St Gregory VII Dictatus Papae (Mar. 1075): "That the Roman Pontiff, if he has been canonically ordained undoubtedly is made a saint by the merits of St Peter."
The Pope is to be treated as a Holy Father, our Papa in faith. Let us not be like the sons of Noah, and concentrate on his faults, to gossip at his nakedness

That doesn't even make sense. Also, there's scholarly debate about whether Gregory himself was responsible for the creation of the Dictatus Papae.

Resurrexi, it has been treated as having authority however in Church history, right? And it does make sense, in the sense that the Pope stands in the place of Peter and should be respected as if he were Peter. Have you read Vatican I? If says that Peter is still with us

Do you really think St Peter would kiss the Koran?

Why are you on a traditionalist forum if you love JPII?

It doesn't matter? Really, actions don't matter? "By their fruits you will know them."
Also, no Catholic, especially a Pope, should show any signs of respect for people who worship false religions.

This is a bad analogy if I ever saw one.

What are you saying? That it's OK for a Catholic to kiss a Koran as long as it's not in front of too many people?

Please show cases in point of traditionalists "gossiping" about that event.

You just contradicted yourself.
First you say that John Paul II did did nothing wrong, now you say that we shouldn't concentrate on his faults. What faults?
