Pope visits Dome of the Rock- First time ever in History, also visits Wailing Wa

The Dome of the Rock is a Muslim Mosque in Jerusalem where Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad ascended into heaven from. As a sign of respect, Benedict removed his shoes before entering. He also visited the Wailing Wall, the holiest site of Judaism, where the ancient temple stood. And he visited Gethsemane where Jesus prayed before he was eventually arrestedand crucified.

The Pope is on a trip to the Holy Land this week. He major goals are to visit Holy Sites, to promote peace, to encourage the small Christian population in the Holy Land and to improve Catholic-Jewish and Catholic-Islamic relations.

So how do you think the trip is going and how will it go? And why have most major News networks been silent on this trip?

OMG the pope did something!! :oEngrish_Major

That's front-page material.

He also visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum.

The Pope is really scoping out targets for his Turbo Laser that he is secretly building in space

btw I'm Catholic :P

It is a difficult balancing act for him trying to improve relations to both the Jews and the Muslims, if he reaches out too far to one group he may alienate the other.

[QUOTE="fidosim"] Sounds like you know a lot about Islam. :PSaintLeonidas

[QUOTE="JoeRatz16"] Indeed. I am not Muslim, but I respect Muslims and try not to be a total fool in regard to their beliefs. Let's hope Leonidas never goes to the Middle East and calls the Dome of the Rock "a rock", seriously some people over there might react violently.

[QUOTE="Ace_WondersX"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] This is my point ^^^ its a rock...if they get mad at me calling a rock a rock...then there is clearly something wrong. We shouldnt care that some guy visits a rock, yeah there is some religious significance...but there shouldnt be....hence why I dont care.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"][QUOTE="Ace_WondersX"] It's not just a rock, it is a temple. JoeRatz16
