Countdown to the Pope's Visit to Turkey

Expect more incidents like this in advance of the Pope's visit to Turkey on November 28. Radical Islamic terrorists have high stakes in preventing the Papal visit and the serious discussions he proposes to have with rational muslim leaders. An understanding between the Catholic church and muslims is probably the world's best chance at peace. If mainstream muslim leaders express respect for the church, faithful muslims may follow and the radicals will become isolated. I commend the Pope and I pray that he will continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit.
