Reply #3: What exactly is

[skepticscott]

"interfaith progress"? Is it just progress in getting the leaders of different religions to get together and glad hand and make phony smiles at each other? The black letter doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church is that IT is the One True Church and that all other faiths are false and do not lead to salvation. They haven't budged from that position and will not, no matter how many bridges they pretend to build or dialogues they pretend to open. And I doubt that Judaism and Islam are much more flexible when you get down to brass tacks. If religious groups can just manage to coexist without slaughtering each other, that's about as much "progress" as reasonable people can hope for.
