This is for any of you who still believe "we all worship the same god, we just call him different names".
This is from Turkey, where people are protesting the pope's visit. I wonder what the pope will have to say about signs like these, considering Vatican II says that Muslims and Hindus are included in the plan of salvation (from www.vativan.va):
Catechism: 841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."330
Does anybody else see a problem with this? I mean, to openly claim that Jesus is not the Son of God? Surely the pope will denounce this heresy... right? Nope, you see, it really isn't that big of a deal.
Catechism: 441 In the Old Testament, "son of God" is a title given to the angels, the Chosen People, the children of Israel, and their kings.44 It signifies an adoptive sonship that establishes a relationship of particular intimacy between God and his creature. When the promised Messiah-King is called "son of God", it does not necessarily imply that he was more than human, according to the literal meaning of these texts. Those who called Jesus "son of God", as the Messiah of Israel, perhaps meant nothing more than this.45
