I feel I really must protest about the Pope's treatment of incidents in Turkey which took place over a century ago I feel modern Turkey is quite right to object and I feel the pope should apologise. The Turkey he is referring to is now very westernised and is a member of NATO Why antagonise the modern regime with this unwanted attack . True the Ottoman sultans had a lot to answer for. That is why the new regime got rid of them The pope has to think about the perception attacks like this have on people who do not follow Islam. We could all go on about atrocities of the past, remember the Catholic churches support for Hitler that got Hitler elected, and the silence from Rome during the second world war. The pope not to antagonise the people of Turkey. He should praise Turkey for defending the border against IS. He should praise Turkey for the refugee camps in Turkey and the Humanitarian way those refugees are being treated. It's not great being a Christian in the Muslim world, but in Turkey Christians are better treated than any ware else in the Islamic world. Lots of people from western countries love Turkey as it is now, I feel the catholic church should recognise the fact and work for better relations with Turkey and not cause divisions of this nature. I feel the pontiff is wrong on this aspect and he should take immediate steps to rectify a situation that should never have arisen I was disappointed that in this news story on Channel 4 no one from Turkey was asked about this. News media should give a balanced view Turkey must be given credit for being in Nato
