«Die Muslim, die den alleinigen Gott anbeten, ... der zu den Menschen gesprochen hat»

Das zweitvatikanische Dokument "Nostra Aetate" zur "muslimischen Religion":

3. Mit Hochachtung betrachtet die Kirche auch die Muslim, die den alleinigen Gott anbeten, den lebendigen und in sich seienden, barmherzigen und allmächtigen, den Schöpfer Himmels und der Erde (5), der zu den Menschen gesprochen hat. Sie mühen sich, auch seinen verborgenen Ratschlüssen sich mit ganzer Seele zu unterwerfen, so wie Abraham sich Gott unterworfen hat, auf den der islamische Glaube sich gerne beruft. Jesus, den sie allerdings nicht als Gott anerkennen, verehren sie doch als Propheten, und sie ehren seine jungfräuliche Mutter Maria, die sie bisweilen auch in Frömmigkeit anrufen. Überdies erwarten sie den Tag des Gerichtes, an dem Gott alle Menschen auferweckt und ihnen vergilt. Deshalb legen sie Wert auf sittliche Lebenshaltung und verehren Gott besonders durch Gebet, Almosen und Fasten.
Da es jedoch im Lauf der Jahrhunderte zu manchen Zwistigkeiten und Feindschaften zwischen Christen und Muslim kam, ermahnt die Heilige Synode alle, das Vergangene beiseite zu lassen, sich aufrichtig um gegenseitiges Verstehen zu bemühen und gemeinsam einzutreten für Schutz und Förderung der sozialen Gerechtigkeit, der sittlichen Güter und nicht zuletzt des Friedens und der Freiheit für alle Menschen.

KOMMENTAR:
Dieser Text des Dekretes "Nostra Aetate" vom 28. Oktober 1965 war die der "Ecclesia Militans" von 2221!!! (bei 88 Gegenstimmen) statt vom Heiligen Geist vom "neu-gnostischen Geist" inspirierten "Konzilsvätern" verabreichte "Ecstasy-Pille". Seitdem "tanzt" nicht nur praktisch der geschlossene "katholische" Episkopat, sondern auch fast der gesamte Klerus mit den von ihnen beeinflußten "Schafen" und "Böcken" friedliebend und gemütlich, arglos und gedankenlos "in Trance" vor dem sie für die baldige Schlachtung und Verzehrung zubereitenden Erzfeind.

ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI TO THE AMBASSADORS OF COUNTRIES WITH A MUSLIM MAJORITY AND TO THE REPRESENTATIVES OF MUSLIM COMMUNITIES IN ITALY
Hall of the Swiss, Castel Gandolfo, Monday, 25 September 2006

Dear Cardinal Poupard,Your Excellencies,
Dear Muslim Friends,
I am pleased to welcome you to this gathering that I wanted to arrange in order to strengthen the bonds of friendship and solidarity between the Holy See and Muslim communities throughout the world. I thank Cardinal Poupard, President of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue, for the words that he has just addressed to me, and I thank all of you for responding to my invitation.
The circumstances which have given rise to our gathering are well known. I have already had occasion to dwell upon them in the course of the past week. In this particular context, I should like to reiterate today all the esteem and the profound respect that I have for Muslim believers, calling to mind the words of the Second Vatican Council which for the Catholic Church are the Magna Carta of Muslim-Christian dialogue: "The Church looks upon Muslims with respect. They worship the one God living and subsistent, merciful and almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to humanity and to whose decrees, even the hidden ones, they seek to submit themselves whole-heartedly, just as Abraham, to whom the Islamic faith readily relates itself, submitted to God" (Declaration Nostra Aetate, 3). Placing myself firmly within this perspective, I have had occasion, since the very beginning of my pontificate, to express my wish to continue establishing bridges of friendship with the adherents of all religions, showing particular appreciation for the growth of dialogue between Muslims and Christians (cf. Address to the Delegates of Other Churches and Ecclesial Communities and of Other Religious Traditions, 25 April 2005). As I underlined at Cologne last year, "Inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue between Christians and Muslims cannot be reduced to an optional extra. It is, in fact, a vital necessity, on which in large measure our future depends" (Meeting with Representatives of Some Muslim Communities, Cologne, 20 August 2005). In a world marked by relativism and too often excluding the transcendence and universality of reason, we are in great need of an authentic dialogue between religions and between cultures, capable of assisting us, in a spirit of fruitful co-operation, to overcome all the tensions together. Continuing, then, the work undertaken by my predecessor, Pope John Paul II, I sincerely pray that the relations of trust which have developed between Christians and Muslims over several years, will not only continue, but will develop further in a spirit of sincere and respectful dialogue, based on ever more authentic reciprocal knowledge which, with joy, recognizes the religious values that we have in common and, with loyalty, respects the differences.
Inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue is a necessity for building together this world of peace and fraternity ardently desired by all people of good will. In this area, our contemporaries expect from us an eloquent witness to show all people the value of the religious dimension of life. Likewise, faithful to the teachings of their own religious traditions, Christians and Muslims must learn to work together, as indeed they already do in many common undertakings, in order to guard against all forms of intolerance and to oppose all manifestations of violence; as for us, religious authorities and political leaders, we must guide and encourage them in this direction. Indeed, "although considerable dissensions and enmities between Christians and Muslims may have arisen in the course of the centuries, the Council urges all parties that, forgetting past things, they train themselves towards sincere mutual understanding and together maintain and promote social justice and moral values as well as peace and freedom for all people" (Declaration, Nostra Aetate, 3). The lessons of the past must therefore help us to seek paths of reconciliation, in order to live with respect for the identity and freedom of each individual, with a view to fruitful co-operation in the service of all humanity. As Pope John Paul II said in his memorable speech to young people at Casablanca in Morocco, "Respect and dialogue require reciprocity in all spheres, especially in that which concerns basic freedoms, more particularly religious freedom. They favour peace and agreement between peoples" (no. 5).
Dear friends, I am profoundly convinced that in the current world situation it is imperative that Christians and Muslims engage with one another in order to address the numerous challenges that present themselves to humanity, especially those concerning the defence and promotion of the dignity of the human person and of the rights ensuing from that dignity. When threats mount up against people and against peace, by recognizing the central character of the human person and by working with perseverance to see that human life is always respected, Christians and Muslims manifest their obedience to the Creator, who wishes all people to live in the dignity that he has bestowed upon them.
Dear friends, I pray with my whole heart that the merciful God will guide our steps along the paths of an ever more authentic mutual understanding. At this time when for Muslims the spiritual journey of the month of Ramadan is beginning, I address to all of them my cordial good wishes, praying that the Almighty may grant them serene and peaceful lives. May the God of peace fill you with the abundance of his Blessings, together with the communities that you represent!
