Re: Survivor China As a Catholic, you can go into other religion's places of worship occassionally, such as if you're invited on a special occasion or for a wedding ceremony. You can even go there if you just want to see the building (for example, you go see the Blue Mosque in Constantinople, because of it is a famous piece of architecture). My understanding is, as long as the Pope wasn't actively participating in Muslim prayers / prayer service or co-celebrating with an Islamic Imam at a strictly Islamic prayer / worship service (like at their Friday prayer service), it was fine with Church teaching with him visiting the mosque (I am sure he was invited, if you're the Pope you probably just don't show up at the front door when the service is about to start) on invitation, and yes, even praying inside it (you can pray to God anywhere); What he couldn't do is pray to Allah with the Muslims at their worship service / or co-celebrate at a Muslim worship service.
