Vatican demands reciprosity from Muslim nations, why don't we?
My Way News:
"Bishop Rino Fisichella, head of one of the Roman universities that train young priests from around the world, told Corriere della Sera the Vatican should speak out more.
"'Let's drop this diplomatic silence,' said the rector of the Pontifical Lateran University. 'We should put pressure on international organizations to make the societies and states in majority Muslim countries face up to their responsibilities.'"
As a reformed Christian, I am no apologist for the Bishop of Rome and his followers, but when they're right, one must give credit where credit is due. Too bad we don't hear such plain talk from the leaders of real countries.

The Vatican was in business 14 centuries ago, when the problem started. Some would suggest they were part of the problem. I would suggest that the recent statement is direct, but hardly timely. Some opinions just take longer to mature, I guess.
In another 12 centuries, if the US survives the advance of socialism for that long, some representative of our government may feel disposed to make a similar comment. I suspect that, even then, it will still be appropriate.
