They don't. It's purely a cynical ploy (another Vatican specialty, go read a history book [but not on an empty stomach]) in blatant defiance of BOTH of their "holy books" (which are quite clear in how God says you should treat any non-believer: kill them) in order to appear a little less like the backwards, ignorant, bloodthirsty savages they are.
How can they overlook the fact that they both worship the same God, who they both consider to be omniscient and omnipotent, who cares so deeply for the world and all of the people on it that He left two mutually contradictory messages perfectly detailing His will in the hands of illiterate, cave-dwelling shepherds barely 500 miles and 700 years apart, and hasn't bothered getting off of His Holy Arse to clear up this stinking, confused mess?
Easy! They both have the Truth™!
And if the other side doesn't see the Plain Truth™, well, it's just proof that God has forsaken
them (but not
us, of course [even though their books both say that God has given no support, or even evidence of His existence, to anyone from any side of this crapfest for coming up on 1500 years]).
Oh, and just in case you think I was implying that the Vatican has some sort of monopoly on cynical ploys (from my reference to that as one of their specialties, above), go read up on
al-taqiyya.
Have lunch first.
