When it is spoken about a union of all religions having the papacy as the head of this union, some Christians are skeptical, not because they do not know that today Protestantism is hand in hand with Rome, but because there is still a religion that is so great in number of members such as Catholicism, and for such a union of all denominations to be possible, without a doubt that Islam has to be part of the ecumenical union.
Because Catholicism is the promoter and promoter of the worship of sculpture images, with nearly 1 billion Catholics worldwide, Islam also has a little over 1 billion believers and abhors image worship, ecumenical union between these two institutions is something surreal, it becomes absurd if you want to think about this possibility.
But the facts that I will bring to light will show that an ecumenical union between the Vatican and Islam is possible. It is not news that Roman Catholic is the church of Mary and the Muslims, for whom it does not know, they love Maria as it quotes an article in the Internet that has by title, "Jesus and the Virgin Mary in Islam" of Juan Galvan this article already in the beginning states:
"Many people may be surprised that Muslims love Mary, the mother of Jesus. In the Qur'an no woman receives more attention than Mary. Mary receives the greatest attention of any woman mentioned in the Qur'an ... "http://www.islamawareness.net/Christianity/galvan1.html#
So it is not surprising that Islam will join the papacy with Mary as the link that will unite them both.
Nor is it any wonder that former Pope Benedict XVI, who knew of the devotion of Mary by the Muslims, expressed himself thus:
"Mary is also a bridge between Islam and Christianity, something Pope Benedict XVI addressed on his recent trip to Turkey, where he celebrated Mass in Ephesus, the western city in which Mary is said to have lived her last days. The pope pointed to it as an explicit link between Islam and Christianity, stressing that a devotion common to Mary can help connect the two faiths.
