Pope Francis declared that “the world is at war” following the slitting of the throat of an 86-year-old priest by two Islamic State-linked jihadists, right in the middle of a mass in France. The jihadists shouted “Allahu akbar” during the barbaric drama, during which they also took two nuns hostage.
The Pope went on to say that this is not “a religious war….. all religions preach peace — it’s the others who want war.”
The pope openly denies black and white print of the Qur’an that commands adherents to “kill them wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush.” (Qur’an 9:5). Also, Qur’an 2:216 commands: “Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.” And there are many other such passages.
Of course, not all Muslims live by such verses, but extraordinary violent Muslim conquests historically followed the commands of Qur’anic verses in establishing the House of Islam throughout the world, and now jihadists (stealth and violent) have infiltrated the West. The Qur’an’s anti-peace verses have resulted in barbarity throughout the 1,400-year history of Islam.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of the Pope’s denial of the nature of this war is his lack of truthfulness as head of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, particularly in light of the fact that the deity of Christ is described as “the spirit of truth” and “the Prince of Peace”. Pope Francis is a stark departure from his predecessor, who caused immense controversy with his 2006 Regensburg address. Pope Benedict cited the 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus regarding the preaching of violence in a religion, stating:
“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached…”
And there is more that is troubling about Pope Francis.
Days after the Vatican announced that it was preparing to sign its first accord with “Palestine,” the Pope met with Mahmoud Abbas and called him “an angel of peace.”
Abbas stated in 2014 that “we [Palestinians] live in spirit, we march towards Jerusalem…. we do not desire death, but we welcome martyrdom if it happens.” Abbas did his PhD in Holocaust denial, and his dissertation is widely taught throughout the Palestinian Authority as part of school curriculum. Abbas declared that there will be no Jews in a Palestinian State. Abbas gives the impression of promoting peace while the Palestinian Charter still calls for the destruction of Israel.
Mahmoud Abbas is deemed “an angel of peace” by Pope Francis while he also declares that the world is now “at war,” but that it is “not a religious war.” It is the very nature of jihadist religious zeal that routinely drives the often gruesome attacks and assaults upon innocents globally, and that strives for conquest of the House of War.
Pope Francis is exonerating political Islam with its goals of global conquest by the sword, and also disregarding his own flock, who are suffering the worst kinds of persecution in Islamic states at the hands of jihadists.
“Pope Francis Says ‘The World Is at War’ After ISIS-Linked Church Attack”, by Claudio Lavanga, NBC News, July 27, 2016:
KRAKOW, Poland — Pope Francis declared that “the world is at war” on Wednesday, a day after two knife-wielding attackers linked with ISIS stormed a French church and slit the throat of a priest.
The pope made the comments on a flight between Rome and the Polish city of Krakow, where he was set to join hundreds of thousands of young pilgrims attending World Youth Day.
“The world is at war because it has lost peace,” he told reporters. “This is war. The world has been at war for a while now … We had the war of 1914, then the war in 1939-45, and now this one.”
His comments come after a spate of ISIS-linked attacks across Europe in recent weeks — but he was clear not to describe the conflict along sectarian lines.
He said this was “not an organic war, perhaps. It’s organized, but not organic. But it’s war.” He said the conflict was not “a religious war,” adding that “all religions preach peace — it’s the others who want war.”
Tuesday’s attack saw two assailants armed with knives storm a church in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and cut the throat of 85-year-old Father Jacques Hamel. Officials said the two attackers shouted “Allahu Akbar” before being shot dead by security forces.
French President Francois Hollande blamed the “cowardly acts” on ISIS-linked terrorists.
Pope Francis said Hollande had called him to express his condolences. “I want to thank all of those who offered their sympathy, especially France’s president, who talked to me over the phone like a brother,” he said.
He also referenced ISIS’ other victims — many of whom are Muslims.
“This priest, who died as he was leading churchgoers to prayer, is one [victim],” he said. “But how many Christians, how many innocent children [have died]?”
The attack came before World Youth Day, one of the biggest catholic gatherings in the world. Polish authorities introduced exceptional security measures to protect the up to 2 million young pilgrims expected to descend on Krakow.
Around 20,000 Polish police and military personnel have been deployed across the city. Pilgrims will be asked to go through mobile X-rays and metal detectors at railway and bus stations….

This Shepard is suffering from dementia…refuses to defend the faith or protect the faithful. Needs to resign now. Now he insults a nation that has defended Christendom from the Turks at Vienna and the Pope’s friends the commies at the Miracle at Vistula after WWI. (Maybe he is upset at both of those defeats).
Ed Lee says
“We had the war of 1914, then the war in 1939-45, and now this one.” So Pope Francis, Korea and Vietnam don’t count? The whole world, through the U.N. were involved in both.
Ciudadano says
“The Pope went on to say that this is not “a religious war….. all religions preach peace — it’s the others who want war.””
Abdul Aziz, Saudi Arabian grand mufti, head of the Supreme Council of Ulema (Islamic scholars), asked for the destruction of Christian churches throughout the Arabian Peninsula. Islamic guerrillas have killed thousands of Christians just this year in many countries all over the world.
Probably it would be more accurate to state that this is a religious war that one party refuses to accept. It is very hard for Christians to accept war based on religious motivations, because Jesus message and example were deeply peaceful. The first crusade en 1049 was called reticently by Pope Urban II after hundreds of years of aggression by Islamic armies.
“Of course, not all Muslims live by such verses, but extraordinary violent Muslim conquests historically followed ”
It only takes a small percentage of radicalized people to overtake a society. Nazi membership peaked 7% of Germany population. Jihadists are well above 7% of Muslim population.

The Pope need sto be reminded that his job is to spread his faith and care for his flock, not being a fake scholar of other religions.

Jack Diamond says
Contrast this Pope to how Church Fathers used to speak of Mohammedans–
St. Gregory Palamas (1296A.D.-1359A.D) In the palace of the Ottoman nobility:
“It is true that Muhammad started from the east and came to the west, as the sun travels from east to west. Nevertheless he came with war, knives, pillaging, forced enslavement, murders, and acts that are not from the good God but instigated by the chief manslayer, the devil.”
St. Sophronios, Patriarch of Jerusalem (560 AD-638 AD) when Jerusalem was under assault by Muslims under Caliph Abu Bakr:
“the vengeful and God-hating Saracens, the abomination of desolation clearly foretold to us by the prophets, overrun the places which are not allowed to them, plunder cities, devastate fields, burn down villages, set on fire the holy churches, overturn the sacred monasteries, oppose the Byzantine armies arrayed against them, and in fighting raise up the trophies [of war] and add victory to victory. Moreover, they are raised up more and more against us and increase their blasphemy of Christ and the church, and utter wicked blasphemies against God. Those God-fighters boast of prevailing over all, assiduously and unrestrainably imitating their leader, who is the devil, and emulating his vanity because of which he has been expelled from heaven and been assigned to the gloomy shades.”
St. Thomas Aquinas:
“Muhammad said that he was sent in the power of his arms—which are signs not lacking even to robbers and tyrants. What is more, no wise men, men trained in things divine and human, believed in him from the beginning, Those who believed in him were brutal men and desert wanderers, utterly ignorant of all divine teaching, through whose numbers Muhammad forced others to become his followers by the violence of his arms. Nor do divine pronouncements on the part of preceding prophets offer him any witness. On the contrary, he perverts almost all the testimonies of the Old and New Testaments by making them into fabrications of his own, as can be. seen by anyone who examines his law.”
It’s not true that people are always getting smarter, the Church was smarter centuries ago. John Quincy Adams was smarter about Islam than anyone in American government today. The old scholars of Islam and their dust covered books were smarter than most contemporary scholarship (with the obvious exceptions). But then Islam is not something new, it is something very old, as old as the gloomy shades.
Walter Sieruk says
The pope needs to have a reality check. For all those Islamic terror attacks around the world are ,indeed, Islamic. That is those murderous jihad attacks are ,very much based on religion. The religion of Islam For Islam’s “holy book” the Qur ‘an [the Koran] instructs on the uses of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in ,for example 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Furthermore, it may be illustrated that if Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught “Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.” After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said “By their fruit ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

Weakness always is followed by war as in the 1930s
Germany at the epicentre as usual !!?
Luke says
In a sense I understand the Pope’s predicament. He cannot call out jihad for what it is. If he takes a hostile confrontational line with Islam, the people who will pay the price are the Christian minorities in Africa and Middle East. Not to mention, more trouble in Europe where there are already too many Muslims. The Vatican has plenty of Theology PHDs. They know what Islam is about, but the church no longer has the power to confront it head on.
Troybeam says
So So disappointed in this Pope, he presented such humility than turns around and thinks he can befriend Islam which by the way is likely waiting for the time to strike and destroy Vatican City.
Edward says
“Pope declares “the world is at war” but denies Islam has any role”
Has the Pope lost trust in God? Why then does he has chosen fear to prevent repercussions from Islam?
Psalm 91:9-12 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your home. For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
Pope Francis should fear God, who he represents here on earth, then men of the world!
Could the errors committed by the pope is causing this dilemma?

“1- they killed 1000 million original American according to their witness and historian (Las Casas) and brought them plagues .”
Me thinks Las Casas added a several extra zeros for added drama. Oh, and plagues? Whose fault was it that the American Indians had no defences against European diseases? Do you think things would have happened differently if American Indians had sailed to Europe? No, things would have played out just the same.
“2- they killed 30% of Germany population in protestant and catholic medieval wars , Germany went down from 20 million to 13 millions and millions in other Europe countries by this war.”
Again, who are “they”?
“6 million Jew burned in Germany by the blessings of churches.”
Blessings of churches? Citation needed.
Oh, and you’re a muslim – you hate Jews, so don’t try to pretend you’re anything other than overjoyed with the Holocaust.
“Nagasaki Hiroshima nukes took millions.”
No, they didn’t. Adding zeroes again, I see…
“killed millions in Algeria, Morocco , Tunis mostly by France in last 2 centuries. and thousand in Algeria by France nuke tests.”
Citations needed.
“ they are Sykes Picot division of our lands!”
“Your lands”? Are you an Ottoman Turk or something?
“they conquered Muslims states and raped and killed millions”
“They” again, eh? Citation needed.
“In Iraq & afghan killed millions”
Citation needed.
“conquering and giving Palestine was the reason to kill hundreds of thousands , and kick out millions .”
Nope. Citation needed. There was never a “Palestine” to be conquered to begin with.
“slavery of african by tens of millions in the name of Jesus by their queen Elizabeth .”
Citation needed. Oh, and you realize that the overwhelming majority of Africans that were sent to the West as slaves were captured by other Africans or Arabs – i.e., muslims?
“ conquered 98% of the world(COLONIALISM &IMPERIALISM)”
98% of the world? Which empire held that much territory? And when? Citaion needed.
“AND THEFT TRILLIONS WORTH ASSETS FROM THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES (GOLD ,DI-MOUND,STONES,ETC) .”
Citation needed.
“AND NOW still speaking about Islam and illegal immigration. WHAT THE NONSENSE THESE?”
It’s like this: we don’t want muslims in our civilized Western nations because they’re criminals. Look up stats – muslims are disproportionally represented in most, if not all, types of crime. Your religion dehumanizes non-muslims and so you treat them accordingly.
We don’t want you here because you’re barbarians – plain and simple.
P.S.: Do not confuse the desire for peace with weakness. Western nations are all for appeasement and pacific resolutions until they’re not – and then total war ensues, and usually doesn’t end well for the others…

Muslims are “our brothers” and Christians must cultivate “mutual respect” with them. These were the words of Pope Francis yesterday during the Angelus, a message which could signal a turnaround in the relationship between the Catholic Church and Islam. This changing tide can even be seen in the words used in addressing Muslims. This is the first Pope to have referred to Muslims in such direct and explicit terms as “our brothers”. This would have been practically unthinkable even up until the recent past.
What an idiot!!

“If we want peace in the Middle East, Iran and Iranian Islam have a vital role to play,” said the Rev. Bernardo Cervellera. Good to see the Pope giving his blessing to a rogue regime with genocidal aspirations. It is a wise move and perfectly in line with the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch’s robust defense of Islam in the face of Muslim persecution of Christians. Cowardice, appeasement and fear are the hallmarks of the contemporary Catholic Church, and apparently requirements for the clergy. Jump on board and cower.

Denial kills. The Pope seems in complete denial and is not leading or educating his flock. He has become a huge part of the chaos, murder and carnage. We need brave, educated leaders and patriots around the world to fight Isis and destroy it.
common sense says
The only war occurring is in the Middle eastern countries where our soldiers are hamstrung by our own leaders. Two enemies engaging in combat is a war. What a scoundrel.
Everywhere else Jihadists just murder, assault and rape people including their own. THEN police show up and kill these thugs. That is not a war these are large scale massacres. Boston massacre was considered utterly brutal with the death of 5 colonists and the St valentines day massacre was equally appalling with the death of 5. 1 person killed is a murder, 2 is a double homicide, 3 and above is always a massacre and always will be.
The elites set us up the Jihadist knock us down. Leaders piddle paddle with our enemy instead of ultimately letting us crush them. Filthy Imam’s show up at the seen of every slaughter to schmooze the sheeple and then our own spiritual advisors decide they are experts in the arena of war and politics. They should stay behind their Vatican walls. And I could care less if the pope thinks he is protecting Catholics by not speaking out the Islamofascist will kill us anyway. Its been far beyond willful ignorance for quite some time. Its total FUBAR.
