But that's not an apt example G-man. You were talking about the propensity for religions to instruct their believers to force their beliefs upon others, or otherwise to preach an intolerant message of "we are right, they are wrong".
The catholic religion, for all it's silly institutions and other oddities...is generally very good about respecting other religions. And as i've stated before, their basic teaching is that you share your beliefs with others not by preaching to them, but through your good deeds in the service of man kind. When the Pope talks on matters of faith or morals, he is only talking to his believers....others can, and probably should, just ignore him!
