The real message of Pope Benedict XVI
"In his perceptive analysis, Pope Benedict raises a question for authentic religious dialogue. If we detach a morality rooted in human nature and accessible to human reason from our faith in God, does not that allow us to convert vice into virtue and virtue into sin? Authentic world religions have tried to ground spirituality in moral virtue. But if we believe that God wants our faith to win at all costs, then the end justifies the means. Terrorism becomes an act of virtue. If, however, the Jihad is interpreted as a spiritual war against the demonic powers of evil, it is much easier to find a common ground. This is a challenge that we need to address humbly, sincerely and directly."
