How predictable is this self-centredness and arrogance. <BR/><BR/>The seed of self-centredness, arrogance and dogmatism, spread by all religions, sometime "blossom" in wars and violence (crusades, terrorisms etc.).

Coming from families of both Lutheran and Catholic backgrounds and being raised in the largely Lutheran and Catholic state of South Dakota, I find it troubling that the Bishop of Rome has hurt so many other Christians by calling their denominations inferior. Certainly this arrogance is not what our humble Savior had in mind in creating His One Church. I pray that we as Catholics continue to strive for a culture of life through brotherhood and tolerance of people from all religions in a world today where religious rivalry is only causing death and destruction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
