Questions on Theodore Cardinal McCarrick saying "I Cannot Say, ‘Don’t Embrace The Quran’"
1) Is Cardinal McCarrick trying to equate Jesus with Allah?
2) As faithful Catholic Christians we are called to evangelize and try and convert those who believe in other faiths so that people of other faiths may one day come back home to Jesus' Church, so how can Cardinal McCarrick really believe this? Or think that this is in line with Church Teaching?
3) Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is our creator and believing in Allah is not on par or the same as believing in Jesus Christ.
4) I am not saying Muslims (except the terrorists or those who sympathize with their cause) are bad people but stating Muslism are bad or immoral persons and saying that Muslims shouldn't embrace the Qu'ran is different but that they should embrace the Word of God and the Teachings of Jesus Christ is totally different.
As Catholics we say the Nicene Creed every Sunday:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
I just don't see how we can believe in the One holy, catholic, and apostolic Church and also agree with what Cardinal McCarrick stated.
