re: The Roman Catholic church in Ireland opened its doors for Muslim prayers.

This is exactly why it's been so easy for Muslims to take advantages of European pussies.

Bingo. Western Europe and the Isles were emasculated long before the drive to do so here.

Per Islam Allah is Yahweh, and the Quran is the New New Testament. For those of Judaism and Christianity though that cannot be. Allah is a Unitarian and Yahweh is Trinitarian. Allah is notated as deceitful, impersonal, demanding in the Quran. Yahweh is loving, personal, and forgiving in the Jewish and Christian teachings. If all three religions only believe in a single true God, and the Quran and Testaments contradict one another on who that God is, then it cannot be the same God.

Adding to that is this: if it was the same god worshipped by both, then why would the god of Islam deny that Jesus is the Son of God? God will NEVER deny His Son.

Islam recognizes Jesus as a great prophet but not the Son of God.

Even Satan recognizes that Jesus is the Son of the Most High.

There is a video attached somewhere in a response to this matter. In the video, the Catholic Priest appears to be celebrating Holy Mass as he is garbed in his vestments and standing at an altar. A Muslim cleric is chanting his Muslim prayers during the celebration. My gut reaction is this is blasphemy. I'm appalled an ordained Priest would allow this in front of the Blessed Sacrament and the congregation.

While previous Popes (John Paul II in particular) have participated in Ecumenical Celebrations (the celebration in Assisi comes to mind) with clerics from other faiths, those celebrations were held offsite publicly, meaning it was not held in a Catholic Church with the Blessed Sacrament reposed. Whatever this Priest in this video is doing with that Muslim Cleric chanting is NOT Holy Mass. Furthermore, assuming the Blessed Sacrament was reposed in the Tabernacle, this is blasphemy. Ecumenical, interfaith celebration is one thing - the Sacrifice of Jesus as reflected in the Breaking of His Body (the Consecrated Bread) and the Drinking of His Blood (The Consecrated Wine) is something entirely different.

Get your hands on a Bible and lookup the Gospel of John Chapter 6 and read the entire chapter. Then tell me that Concreated Bread is NOT the Body of Christ. If you disagree, find me the scripture reading that refutes this passage.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a continuous, uninterrupted sacrifice Jesus offered the night before He died on the Cross. For 2000 years, beginning on that Last Supper (the first Holy Mass) somewhere on this earth at this precise moment, a Priest (acting Persona Christi-in the person of Christ) is celebrating Holy Mass...right NOW.

Therefore it is blasphemy to add, change, or disrupt the mystery of God's sacrificial death being celebrated on the Altar of Sacrifice. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is THE holiest Prayer man can offer to the Triune God. Jesus himself instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Humanity did not invent the Mass - God created the Mass through the action of Jesus Christ - True God and True Man. The Holy Mass is a gift from God.

Assuming what I saw happening in that video in that Church involved a Muslim Cleric chanting prayers during the Mass, then that Priest is guilty of heresy and should be defrocked.

Wait till these guys hear about interfaith chapels at airports…

I think the story here is either (or both) that:

a) Faith in Europe has declined so much that RCC cathedrals are now the equivalent of interfaith chapels at airports; and/or

b) RCC clergy are more concerned with being seen as politically correct than preventing people from being led astray to a false faith

All religions should do this.

The only path is through us is more marketing than God. No way God creates the world and only 20% of world’s population is affiliated with any one religion that is tethered to singular path to Him.

Muslims worship Jesus?

No worship but they do believe he was a profit. They also hold Mary in high regard.

I'm not sure it's fair, but I get the sense that a lot of clergy in Europe are essentially secular social services personnel with religious flavoring at this point. The rise of universalism among "Christian" clergy is a sign of this in my mind.
