the splinter in your eye, the big log in my eye

In
Germany the pope castigates islam for its violence.
He has to fly back to Rome hurriedly under an international flurry of
protests.
If
he had castigated every violence: the violence of christianity and that
of judaism (Israel) as well as that of islam, his speech would have
displeased everybody, but referred each religion to its own sins.
Benedict XVI instead has proved himself the perfect illustration of the
famous verse in the Sermon on the Mount, Why do you observe the
splinter in your brother's eye? What about the big log in your own? ...
Hypocrite!
The
Revelation of Ares reworks the warnings once launched by the
Father in slightly different words, the weight of which is similar,
though: But
you shall not judge anyone either in public or in private; don't have
the least judgement in the inmost recesses od you brain, because
trapping a judgement is as impossible as trapping a flea; it will leap
onto your tongue unawares (36/16).
The Ares Pilgrims are sinners among whole sinful mankind, but
they, at least, are trying to love all of men, their
brothers, trying to make their peace with them (Rev of
Ares28/15), trying
to refrain from violence, if only from verbal abuse, if only against
their most violent disparagers: ADFI, MIVILUDES...and the Church, who
ever since 1974 has blackened the Arès Pilgrims' name, especially their
founder's name. I wish to hear that islam forgives the Church
just as we forgive her. There is really no need to stir up
grudges in the world.
