The Pope quotes a 14th century emperor. Radical Islamists go nutso crazy. Demonstrations, death threats and fires burn in cities worldwide. Two Muslims attack and shoot a helpless nun. She dies.
Why aren’t the Catholics demonstrating, burning effigies of Mohammed, shouting death to Muslims and readying weapons?
Because Catholics are civilized.
Catholics are being nice. And will continue to be nice…for a while. Then at some point in the not too far distant future, it will be time to not be nice.
