Progressivism in the Church Church Revolution in Pictures Photo of the Week      Inside the Vatican, June 2001 Point de Vue, October 27, 2004 Above left, John Paul II took off his shoes to enter a Muslim mosque in Damascus in May 2001. At right, Queen Elizabeth, following this precedent, took off her shoes to enter a sikh temple in London in October 2004. Below left, Prince Phillip of Edinburg wore a bandanna in the same temple. Perhaps he was following the example of Cardinal Wojtyla, who had the habit to wear such headgear on his morally carefree camping trips. The magazine Point de Vue qualified this visit of Elizabeth without shoes and Phillip wearing a bandanna as something "surrealistic." How should we classify similar initiatives of John Paul II? We leave the answer for the reader to supply.    Point de Vue, October 27, 2004Oggi, January 26, 1979 Related Topics of Interest   JPII kneels and offers homage at the tomb of Gandhi   John Paul II kisses the Koran   JPII embraces the rabbi of Rome   Paul VI wears the symbol of the Jewish high priest Our Lady of La Salette, restore the Holy Church Find 500 more pictures in Previews of the New Papacy   Pictures  |  Home  |  Books  |  Tapes  |  Search  |  Contact Us 2002-2007   Tradition in Action, Inc.   All Rights Reserved
