For the Vatican, King Abdullah Matters More than 138 Muslim Scholars
ROMA, March 31, 2008 – The accusations directed against Benedict XVI for baptizing a convert from Islam, Magdi Cristiano Allam, at the Easter vigil – as reported in an article from http://www.chiesa three days ago – has elicited two responses, direct and indirect, from the Holy See.
The Holy See expressed its point of view in a direct way in “L’Osservatore Romano” for March 25-26, with a note by the newspaper’s director, Giovanni Maria Vian. And again with a statement on Vatican Radio, March 27, by its director, Fr Federico Lombardi.
But even more interesting are the indirect ways in which the Holy See rebutted the criticisms, during those same days.
