Entry: Pope Benedict XVI and Islam: Allah the Irrational Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/pope_benedict_xvi_and_islam_allah_the_irrational#1848 Post contents: As always, an excellent essay by Mr. Richert. Two comments. We need to be a little wary of the uses that are made of the "Europe is the faith" slogan. In practical terms, in this day and age, "defense of the West" too often means recruiting Christians to spread an atheistic secular liberalism throughout the world. The other comment has to do with Mr. Richert's observations about how Moslems ignore secondary causality and attribute everything directly to God. Another Catholic writer, whose name escapes me at the moment, makes the same observation with respect to fundamentalist Protestantism. This may be due to the latter's over-reliance on the Old Testament and the Lutheran repudiation of the efficacy of good works, in other words of human secondary causality in the supernatural order.
