The same folks to bring you "Abrahamism"—the idea that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are intricately connected—have narrowed their sights on promoting Mary, the mother of Christ, as "a Jewish, Christian and Muslim woman," in the words of Catholic priest Fr. Gian Matteo of the Pontifical International Marian Academy. In a ten-week webinar series titled "Mary, a model for faith and life for Christianity and Islam," the academy will seek to present Mary as a bridge between the two religions.
This is easier said than done — at least for those still interested in facts. For starters, the claim that Mary was a "Jewish, Christian and Muslim woman" is only two-thirds true: yes, she was a Jew by race and background, and yes, she was a Christian in that she literally birthed Christ(ianity), but she was most certainly not a Muslim — a term and religion that came into being 600 years after Mary died.
Worse, far from being the Eternal Virgin, as she is for 1.5 billion Christians of the Catholic and Orthodox variety, Islam presents Mary, the Mother of Christ, as "married" to and "copulating" with Muhammad in paradise — a depiction that would seem to sever rather than build "bridges."If the Pope has read John 14:6 where: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." There can be no bridge between Christianity and Islam. Sorry, it just can not be done. The Koran is a corrupt document, and everything in it is a lie. I say these things not with malice, but sorrow in my heart.
Please go read Ibraham's article. One has to wonder what the hell the Pope is thinking, and who is the Pope representing on earth. It is supposed to be God.
