        Today there is a proliferation of resources and retreats dedicated to 
        combining Zen Buddhism and Catholicism, suggesting that the Catholic Church 
        has finally "awakened" from its "outdated" and "exclusivist" 
        ecclesiology. While Buddhism has not been in the news recently as much 
        as Islam, its influence and attraction has steadily increased in the West. 
        Is Catholicism really "parallel" to Buddhism? Can Catholic doctrine 
        be reconciled with Buddhist beliefs and practices?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/features2005/clarkolson_cathbuddh_feb05.asp"> In other words, Christianity and Buddhism are 
        two ways to the same end; Jesus and Buddha are two enlightened teachers 
        who help man to that end. Or, as one reader on a Christian discussion 
        forum states, "Buddha was just a philosopher who urged men to be selfless. 
        Jesus was just a philosopher who urged men to be selfless. Love is just 
        another word for selfless." Such easy parallels between Christ and Buddha 
        are, in the end, are misleading and distort the teachings of the Church.
