To an certain extent the flavour of the month seems to be the big news that His
Holiness Pope Benedict XVl is on You Tube
and that's fame enough were it not for the continuing dialogue on
His
Holiness and Turkey.
To someone from an Island Race I am always surprised when all those people on Continental Mainland i.e. Europe - Asia - Istanbul linking these two great continents of Europe and Asias, are about to fall out with each other yet again.
The issue seems to be connected with The Pope's Desire to Worship and Pray in Turkey and Turkey is a Muslim
Country and is 100 per cent Muslim .. so I suppose one wonders why His Holiness would take such a difficult course! For the sake of argument it would be better to set off for Spain rather than Turkey.
The Pope wants to introduce Rights of Worship ........ but since Turkey is Mosque orientated .. then where on earth would His Holiness Pray anyway ............ as the whole concept of where to pray has been an issue in this country never mind Turkey. Should one go to the different versions of the Christian Faith ........ one can find that the Prayer Business takes different forms depending on which Church you Worship In!
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVl is Head of the Roman Catholic Church and therefore does he want his hometeam to join the British Council or does he plan on invading the Protestant Church somewhere else in Europe. Possibly the reasons behind these links are age old but I wondered if the current raising of eyebrows is concerned with Turkey's wish to enter the European Union often referred to as The Christian Club to include The Roman Catholic as well as the Protestant Faith. I hope His Holiness resolves his issues ........ as Turkey is my favourite country .. nice work .
