I'll respond, although I'm neither qualified nor educated on this topic
I think it's refreshing, to be honest, to see the Vatican recognize another religions possible validity. That being said, if it is indeed something that has been released, I would have to say that the Pope's Faith is in question, although probably not his motives.
Once again, this is simply one Pagan's opinion, and on Vatican stuff I'm seriously uneducated - so take it for what it's worth
