Told you Benedictus will knee?!

As I predicted in yesterday’s post, this morning the pope went out from his window of his vacation palace at Castel Gandolfo, (really a beautiful small town on a nice lake about half an hour from Rome but I wonder what he is doing there vacationing while it is raining cats and dogs already 4 days in a row...) and bowed in front Islam. Well, he didn’t bowed literally; the window is too small at that palace. He actually didn’t really apologize even, he just played word games, some would call it diplomacy that maybe he got from Angela Merkel and said he doesn’t think like this medieval Roman Emperor he was citing from the other day. Yet he didn’t say what exactly in the phrases of this other guy are not corresponding to his own logic or thoughts.
Since it is not very politically correct to say that the leader of millions of followers, the reincarnation of Jesus on earth, is actually lying and he really do not support Mohammad’s ways of converting others. Lets say Herr Ratzinger was a bit overwhelmed by the world reaction to some very simple theological and moral thoughts he had and so he was just trying to save some churches at Nablus and gaza from burning up and maybe some more Italian nuns to get shot at the streets of Somalia.
