Benedict’s truth
- Share via
Your Sept. 19 editorial, “A papal stumble,” could not have been more off the mark. When will the media stop apologizing for the West and start speaking the truth about Islam? You found nothing incorrect in the pope’s remarks, yet you criticize his message and strangely continue to appease a culture that prefers violence rather than reasoned discussion.
Until Islamic leaders assert their authority to influence the radicals, and until they are ready to participate in a reasoned discussion of ideas -- including the reasonableness and value of all faiths -- we must applaud the courage of men such as Pope Benedict XVI who continue to speak truth to the world.
