Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - He maha nga whakapae a Rivera mo te Ihirama, kaore ia i whakaatu i nga taunakitanga. Kei roto i tenei ko nga whakapae i whakahaerehia a Muhammad e te Hahi Katorika ki te hanga i te Ihirama me te whakangaro i nga Hurai me etahi atu roopu Karaitiana, me te wahine tuatahi a Muhammad a Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, he wahine Katorika i roto i te whare karakia Arapi, i korerotia e te Pihopa kia marenatia Muhammad me te hanga Ihirama. I whakapae hoki a Rivera i whakatakotohia e te Vatican he whakakitenga i Fátima
(I tapaina ki a Fatimah, tamahine a Muhammad) ki te whakatipu i te manako ki nga Mahometa. Ka mea atu ano ia i whakahaeretia hoki e ia te whakamomori i te 1981 ki a Pope John Paul II mā te whakamahi i tētahi Mahometa hei kaiwhawhai "ki te whakaoho i te ao Mahometa ki te hara, e whakatata atu ana ki te whakapono Katorika!"
