Censored by his own newspaper! The Catholic Church seems much more intent on enforcing its new dogma that Islam is a Religion of Peace than in making sure that Catholics understand and accept any of the things it should be teaching.
“Cardinal Duka Levels Criticism Against ‘Welcoming Polity’ and Islamism and Was Censored by His Own Newspaper,” Eponymous Flower, August 11, 2016:
(Prague) Novinky , the most important Internet portal of the Czech Republic reported yesterday on an article by Cardinal Dominik Duka, Archbishop of Prague and Primate of Bohemia, he had written after the assassination of the French priest, Abbé Jacques Hamel. Abbé Hamel had his throat cut on July 26, while celebrating Holy Mass in the church Saint Etienne du Rouvray in Rouen. The priest was then beheaded. The two murderers were shot dead by police. The Islamic State(IS) took credit for the act. Cardinal Duka sent his response to the renowned Catholic weekly Katolický Týdeník . This, however, refused to publish the article. The cardinal then published it on his Facebook page.
The Catholic cardinal had expressed himself critically in the past about Pope Francis’ “welcoming culture”. In his article, he warned of a “disproportionate and ruthless welcome policy”. An expression which the Cardinal apparently was missed by the censorship of his own subordinates.
The caution and wisdom expressed by the Primate of Bohemia against Islamic immigrants sparked polemical attacks. The advocates of “welcoming culture” are well organized and deeply rooted, especially in the media, even in the Catholic media, as the Cardinal’s bitter experience demonstrated.
Cardinal Duka was bitterly attacked by Msgr. Tomas Halik, one of the most famous Czech priests. The sociologist and philosopher of religion, who was ordained a priest in the 70s underground, became the General Secretary of the Czech Bishops’ Conference and advisor to President Vaclav Havel in the 90s. Halik is Professor of Sociology at Charles University and rector of the University Church. He attacked his bishop: “The real allies of the Islamic State against the Western world are those who do not know the difference between Islam and jihadist terrorists.”
Murder of Rouen: “All who have downplayed such acts, should now think”
Full disagrees Cardinal Duka. For him, the killing of Abbé Hamel was a “lesson” for all be those who previously downplayed similar incidents and downplayed the perpetrators as mentally ill and frustrated. Furthermore, to remain silent “would be suicide for our society,” said the Archbishop of Prague. He also called for more to pray for the victims of terrorism and to seek fewer excuses and apologies for terrorists.
The Cardinal ends with a reminder and an invitation: In Islam, says the primate, there are hidden violent tendencies, which is why those Muslims who do not share these tendencies, should react against if they wish have any share in credibility.
It is piquant to note that the weekly Katolický Týdeník, which imposed censorship on the cardinal for his critical attitude towards mass immigration and the Islamization of Europe, belongs to the Czech Bishops’ Conference.
In the time of the Czechoslovak Soviet Republic there had indeed been a Catholic journal, but one which had been controlled by the communist regime. It had the task to drive a wedge between Catholics, which is why it enjoyed little prestige among these. After the collapse of the communist dictatorship, the new Catholic weekly was founded by a private publisher.
As Katolický Týdeník got into financial difficulties in the 90s, the paper was adopted, rescued and supported by the Czech Bishops’ Conference. The journal is in fact the Church newspaper for the entire Czech Republic. Chief Editor Antonin Randa censored not only his own bishop but also his own publisher. Cardinal Duka is namely, also, President of the Czech Bishops’ Conference.

It is OBVIOUS that Cardinal Dominik Duka, Archbishop of Prague and Primate of Bohemia, is more learned about Islam ans INFINITELY more concerned about the Church than the clueless Francis
I congratulate him for being one of less than a handful of Christian prelates in the whole world who is not willing to be INDOCTRINATED with LIES!
In fact, Francis has become the most dangerous pope in recent history because he is Aiding and Abetting the very Muslims who are Eradicating, Plundering, Enslaving, Slaughtering, Raping and or Exiling ALL Christians from the Middle East, Asia and Africa right under his nose but prefers to be in DENIAL of all Facts and Reality thus deliberately Misleading, Misinforming and putting the lives of hundreds of millions of Christians in deadly danger by DENYING that Islam is an AGGRESSIVE and deadly CULT belief system
Most probably, only more violent attacks in Europe and America will unfortunately be required before most people will WAKE up to the existential threat posed by MUSLIMS to the survival of Western Civilization

Pope Francis went over to the DARK SIDE! His new title is now Pope Dhimmi the First. Satan has appointed Pope Dhimmi the First as the “Judas Goat for humanity” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_goat)

The clips above describe what Islam really is: The vilest of excreta of man and beast. After Pope Benedict was dethroned, the now Unholy Catholic Church, under the leadership of Pope Dhimmy the First, world wide encourages co-operation with this Satanic creed of shistslam. Thank GOD, that there are still good Catholics in the service of humanity.
Jon Sobieski says
If the Church survives and comes to its senses, Francis, like so many other leaders (Merkel, Hollande,the EU mafia), will be hated.

“Pope Francis visited 20 former sex slaves from various countries who are living thousat a housing center in Rome.ands in
The Pope met women from Romania, Albania, Nigeria, Tunisia, Ukraine and Italy ”
But he never visited a single Yazdi or Christian sex slave, kept by the thousands by ISIS. And the refugees he brought in his private plane were only Muslims, not a single Christian escaped from the genocide in the Middle East. The “refugees” he brought were on the losing side of the war between two murderous Jihadi groups.
mortimer says
When Czechs speak, Europe should listen. For hundreds of years, Czechs have had an uncanny ability to predict the future and adopt a trend before others.
Cardinal Duka is warning his church what will happen if they do not understand Islam. The trend is that many more clergy and laity will be killed by jihadists.
Pope Francis humors himself to think he is not a target of Muslims. He is the leading target in Christendom.
mortimer says
The motto of the Czech Republic is “Truth prevails” (Czech: Pravda vítězí).
The truth of Islam’s jihad-warfare against disbelievers is being learnt and declared by the world’s wisest leaders, even as fools and Pollyannas like Pope Francis reassure everyone that Islam has nothing to do with Islam.

This is part and parcel of the evil Chrislam movement and it’s deeply dangerous …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In “Chrislam Exposed” Pastor Shahram Hadian exposes the seductive lie of a common God between Christianity and Islam. He shares his journey of becoming a Christian, exposes the false teachings of “Chrislam,” and uncovers Chrislam’s growing and devastating implementation into our churches and missions both in America and oversees.
Shahram speaks around the nation with a heart to awaken America, and especially the church. As a former Muslim, he is deeply grieved over Christian pastors and missional leaders promoting this false gospel in their effort to be culturally sensitive to Muslims. Despite Chrislam’s proponents, Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God.
Shahram was born in Iran and came to America at the age of 7 to escape an oppressive Islamic regime. He is a proud US citizen. He experienced a transformational life change when he committed his life to Jesus Christ 14 years ago. He has served his local community as a pastor, police officer, teacher and coach and was a candidate for WA State Governor in 2012.
“You cannot be a Muslim and a true follower of Jesus Christ. Chrislam not only endangers the hope of salvation for Muslims but threatens to lead many Christians astray from the truth of God’s Word.” – Shahram Hadian
deja vu says
The close connection between the Vatican and Islam is historical. Islam and Catholicism have much in common – think about it. Together they are bringing about the mandatory one-world religion. An unholy alliance if ever there was one, but has all the hallmarks of the ‘identities’ described in Revelation 13 (use a study Bible to understand the symbolic language).
The need for discernment is becoming ever more urgent, just as Jesus warned us.

I like this symbol: the Blessed Mother’s standing on the moon indicates divine triumph over evil.

Sibila says
With the moon under Mother Mary’s feet may ring some bells of evangelical hopes for Pope Francis, but for the Croatian Franciscan Luka Ibrisimovic this was more than a mere symbol.

His standing on the moon indicates divine triumph over evil.
In 1683 the last march on the Habsburg Monarchy, the Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa with its 200,000 of his Turks managed to reach Vienna by the 2-month siege. However on September 12 Polish and German soldiers arrived to help, and are tremendously defeated the Turkish army. A great victory has encouraged other nations and their rulers, and the encouragement of Pope, Habsburg Monarchy, Venetian Republic and Poland have signed an alliance “Holy League” with the goal of final liberation from the Turks.
While the Imperial Army freed Hungary, Croatian Ban’s army Croatia, the locals arose in armed revolt against the enemy. Thus the uprising in Slavonia started by Franciscan Luka Ibrišimović who wrote about the situation on the ground to Zagreb bishop Mikulic, in a letter dated 24 February 1688, he stated:
“… We are in the final mortal danger, because the enemy is gathering in Gradiska in increasing numbers, and all the forces working to drive out of here imperial army. If they (Turks) come, they will drive out everything, because they are not coming to preserve this land but to dispel already suffering (under them) local Christian people who are already so sparse and without any other choice (but to convert) under having no means of living (under heavy jizzia), they will have to surrender to the Turks or to starve to death. Besides, it should not have happened because food collected from farmers and seized by the Turks remained abundant. Due to negligence of (Habsburg) soldiers, in Turkish slavery is languishing up to 2,000 wretched Christians of both sexes … ”
12 March 1689 on the hill Sokolovac (Hawk’s Hill) near Pozega (Croatian Slavonia), Fra Luka called the local people to uprise, and they broke the Turks, and on that occasion the friar was nicknamed Sokol (Hawk). Brother Luka and his troopers played a major role in the liberation of Slavonia. When Slavonia was liberated in 1691, father Luka immediately organized settlement of devastated areas and started rebuilding of demolished and islamised Catholic churches.
As in Slavonia Fra Luka organized and lifted people to rise for the final liberation from the Turks, so the year 1689 with the help of the priest Marko Mesic, wider area local people’s troops liberated other parts of Croatia from Turks and pushed all the way to Bosnia all already second / third generation islamised and converted locals.
That was in 1689 – continental Croatia freed from backward Turks, but interesting to say that Serbia stayed under Turks full 500 years – till WW1. This had (and still has) tamendous impact on their whole culture. The same as on Greek’s culture. It fucked them to the bone! Genetically and culturally. No wander Croatia wanted to divorce Serbia after the collapse of Yugoslavia. In despite being Slavonic brothers, they are world apart, all because of Turks and because of living under islamisation and Islamic literal constant terror and indicent Islamic dominion.
Look at the Balkans the whole way together even with Greece who were also under the Turks for hundreds of yers, look at their working habits, their Mafioso attitudes towards life, themselves and towards others – and then look at the Catholic Croatia, Slovenia, Poland, Slovakia and Szech – look at their reasoning and potential developed under Catholic creative culture and free thought. Heaven and Hell.
Here is the anrsenal and weaponry Croats used to fight the Turks in 16th century, they still today celebrate and commemorate that day – every year – when they got rid of the Ottomans:

The idea that the Czech Catholic weekly Katolický Týdeník is *owned by Jews* is just ludicrous. The truth is that much of the Catholic hierarchy is riddled with denial over the threat of Islam. This has, of course, *nothing* to do with Jewish people.
But, of course, witless antisemite “King Tut” doesn’t care.

Well, it appears there is going to be a lot of headless Catholics or Islamic converts in the future.

Excellent choice of words by Cardinal Duka and Kudos to him-“disproportionate and ruthless welcome policy”. He does not liken to jihadists, submission, Islam or the Pope.
The Pope’s recent visit and appeal for accepting more refugees to the Czech republic must have rubbed the Cardinal wrong.
Duka is probably a former boxer, I’ll send him a Gasdsen flag if I can still get one.

Fear of loss has strange manifestations. If we are kind and feed the alligator, even after we have watched it eat people, maybe it won’t eat us and we can keep our special little pockets of privilege while not being in danger; having to make changes or sacrifice anything. The other guy can be the alligator’s lunch.
In fact, we should write a treatise on, “The Benefits and Christian Ethics of Living With Alligators”, before someone insists the alligators must go. It could be published in the Katolický Týdeník.
Is there anything more disgusting than the intellect of political power in the service of deceit?

BTW- Great article by Robert supplying the backdrop of Monsignor Halik’s socialist education/ indoctrination and the Catholic journal once infiltrated by the Communist party is now the Catholic weekly run by the CBC which censored its own supposed president in Duka.
“The real allies of the Islamic State against the Western world are those who do not know the difference between Islam and jihadist terrorists.”- Halik
To remain silent “would be suicide for our society,” – Duka
Sounds like Duka understands the difference, namely that there is not much of one regarding 3rd world refugees who are spiked with Jihadists.

Among the Anglicans there is Rev Dr Mark Durie, Australian parish priest and scholar. He has written two excellent books – “Which God?” (which totally demolishes the claim, often made by dawa artists, that Jews, Muslims and Christians ‘worship the same God’) and “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom”. Specifically for Christian pastoral use – for ‘deprogramming’ people who (or their forebears) have lived as de facto or de jure dhimmis in Muslim states, or who are apostates from Islam – he has written a booklet called “Liberty to the Captives”. He is, so far as I am concerned, a national treasure; if the Anglican Church in Australia as a body were to take his warnings and insights to heart, we would be way out in front of the pack so fast…!
IQ al Rassooli says
Unfortunately the Anglican and Catholic church leaders are MORE concerned with the ‘plight of the Muslim palestinians’ than with the survival of Christians or Jews
Pope Francis and others such so called Christian leaders continue to Mislead Misinform and Deceive their followers with their repeated FALSE mantras:
Islam means Peace
Allah same as God of Bible
For these utterly INSANE and criminal proclamations, each and everyone of them should be instantly defrocked and sent to a Muslim country to enjoy their ‘hospitality’

Dear Mr Spencer:
‘
I do hope that you have written a letter of support and encouragement to Cardinal Dominik Duka, Archbishop of Prague and Primate of Bohemia. You could always send him free autographed copies of a few of your books – “Religion of Peace: Why Christianity is and Islam Isn’t”, “Not Peace But a Sword”, and “The Truth About Muhammad” as a ‘thank-you’ present for telling the truth. He probably reads English; if he doesn’t, he would have ready access to people who *can* and can provide Czech summaries of the main points.
Other Catholic jihadwatchers – most especially any posters or lurkers here who reside anywhere in mainland Europe or in Britain – could also contact Cardinal Dominik Duka to express support for his truth-telling. Non-Catholics can write also; but it’s important he hears a message of support from those within his own tradition.
And jihadwatching Christians of all traditions ought to add Cardinal Dominik Duke to their personal prayer lists and pray that he will remain clear-sighted and courageous ; that he will persevere in truth-telling and NOT back down in any way.
gravenimage says
I know Spencer’s “Blogging the Qur’an” has been translated into Czech. Not sure about his other books.
Mike says
Call me crazy, but I have the deep seated suspicion that the previous pope Benedict, who was an Islam critic, was pushed/threatened out of the office. The new liberal Marxist pope was then installed in order to pave the way so that the invasion of Europe could go forward with the blessings of the Catholic church. If this would be true, it would indeed be a sinister game that is being played.

facts about Muhammad (From Ali Sinai)
Muhammad believed in his own cause,suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder,In the later years of his life Muhammad was affected by Acromegaly, a degenerative disease caused by excessive production of a growth hormone, resultinging large bones, cold and fleshy hands and feet and coarse facial features such as enlarged lips, nose and tongue. Acromegaly occurs after the age of 40 and usually
kiills the patient in his early 60s. It causes ereectile dysfunction (impootence). On the
other hand temporal lobe hyper activism increases liibido. This explains
Muhammad’s secxual vagaries in his old age and why in the later years of his life he
had such an insatiable craving for secx, but no children. He would visit all his 9
wives in one night to touch and foondle them without having intercoourse. Impootence
explains Muhammad’s insecurity, paraanoia, and intense jealousy in regards to his
young wives. He ordered them to cover themselves, lest younger men would cast a
luusting eye on them. Today, Muslim women veil themselves, because Muhammad
was impootent. Muhammad’s illnesses explain many mysteries of Islam.

Instead of development in the arabstates things only worsening and a few moving to the U.S.A. and Europe.
The majority globally might become majority both globally and in Europe and U.S.A. as well.
Especially in the less populated states in Europe. Later on the most.

This is really really sad. And I think it’s the end times. Because the Catholic Church has lost its first love. Lock & load ’em.
Mark Swan says
“One of the important prelates in the Catholic Church in Hungary has warned that the enormous waves of migrants rolling into Europe are due in no small part to a Muslim ‘will to conquer,’ by expanding their territory into the continent. ‘Jihad is a principle for Muslims that means they must expand. The earth must become dar al-Islam, that is, Islamic territory, by introducing Shariah—Islamic law’” (Breitbart, August 3, 2016).
“The archbishop of Veszprém said that although there may be other motivations, the conquest of European territory for Islam plays a significant role in the unusual pressure to migrate to Europe. ‘There have always been wars and environmental disasters, but the fact that there is now so much pressure on Europe cannot be a coincidence”.
The wave of Islamic immigrants rolling into Europe is not a coincidence! Long ago, the prophet Daniel foretold of a coming clash between an end-time Middle East “king of the south” and the European “king of the north” (see Daniel 11:40-43). In this prophecy, the king of the south will “push” against the king of the north until the king of the north finally has had enough and overruns and subdues the king of the south. The struggle we are witnessing between these two regions will continue to escalate before it all comes to a boil.
