Question time
Robbo's going to like this one: Meet the Bishop of Arabia.
And by the way: are the British sailors and Marines being held hostage in Iran being gloved-hand delivered new King James Bibles?
Didn't think so.

My guess is they soft-peddle the whole "great commission" thing.
In the old days, the pope would have Jesuits in country, preaching, converting, blowing up bridges (I kid), etc., but these days we all just try to get along, and the Jesuits are as apostate and secular as they come.
I guess we'll judge by the fruits. I think it is a remarkable sign of progress, but I think the church probably had to promise to not convert anyone to get a building permit. Not a deal I'd be willing to make, myself.
