The “politics of fear” — here again, the Pope speaks as if fear were something always and in every case to be shunned, despised, and rejected. But is that really the case? The proper response to the jihad threat should not be fear, but determined resolution to stand for freedom; still, is fear really something that is tantamount to being morally wrong? If someone has a headache that lasts for days and goes to the doctor because he is afraid he has a serious illness, should the doctor say, “Go home and don’t give in to fear”? If a hiker is confronted by a hungry, ferocious lion, should he refuse to flee because that would be giving in to fear?
“Mercy is the best antidote against fear.” And as for jihad terrorism, “the best antidote is love. Love heals everything.”
Well, maybe. But I expect that right after the Pope puts a flower in the barrel of an Islamic State rifle, the Islamic State rifleman will pull the trigger.
Note also that the Pope is much more exercised about the Trump proposals regarding immigration than about the Clinton campaign’s support for abortion, which the Catholic Church opposes on the basis of the fifth commandment. As I have noted before, the Catholic Church of today is more concerned about enforcing its policies on contemporary issues — such as its willfully ignorant fiction that Islam is a religion of peace — than it is with teaching and propagating its actual dogmas and doctrines.
“Days Before U.S. Election, Pope Francis Warns Against Politics of Fear,” by Michael O’Loughlin, America Magazine, November 6, 2016:
In a speech delivered at the Vatican just three days before the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis urged social justice activists from around the world not to give into the politics of fear by building walls but instead work to build bridges.
“Because fear—as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death—weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others,” he said.
“In the end,” he continued, “it makes us cruel.”
The pope did not mention the Nov. 8 U.S. election, but many of the themes he touched on have played out in debates between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton in recent months.
For example, the pope reiterated his plea for nations to respond more generously to the global refugee crisis, which he blamed on “an unjust socio-economic system and wars.”
He pointed specifically to the hundreds of thousands of people who have died in the Mediterranean Sea seeking entry into Europe in recent years and, he said, “no one should be forced to flee their homeland.”…
On the issue of migration more generally, Francis devoted several minutes of the speech to condemning “physical and social walls” that “close in some and exclude others.”
Mr. Trump has proposed building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which led to a tussle with the pope earlier this year.
In February, following a visit to the border, the pope said in response to a question from a journalist that politicians who propose building walls instead of bridges are “not Christian,” leading to objections from the Trump campaign. The Vatican later clarified the remark, saying that the pope was not speaking about specific candidates….
The pope said on Saturday that Christians should not give into the temptation to build walls, even in the face of “hateful and cowardly attacks,” a reference to global terrorism.
“Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he said, “all walls fall.”…
Francis said “mercy is the best antidote against fear” and that it “is much more effective than walls, that barbed wire fences, than alarms and arms, and it is free. It is the gift of God.”
He also touched on the need for individuals at the grassroots level “to revitalize” democracy around the world that are imperiled due to “the enormous power of economic and media groups that seem to dominate” and repeated his condemnation of placing money above human beings.
Christians have a duty, he said, to be active in political life, but he warned against corruption and arrogance.
“Anyone who is too attached to material things or the mirror, who likes money, lush banquets, sumptuous mansions, refined suits, luxury cars,” he said, should avoid going into politics—as well as the seminary. Instead, political leaders must lead by example, living frugally and humbly.
Francis also offered some advice on how to fight terrorism and oppression, saying, “the best antidote is love. Love heals everything.”

This Pope is not clueless. He knows exactly what he is doing. His hands will be stained with the Christian and Catholic blood spilled in Europe and the USA by the followers of Islam. He is an enabler and apologist for Islamic supremacy, terror and murder, all of the cowardly acts he pretends to condemn.
Peter Charles says
Agree completely, wand he’s the worst pope in over 500 years,
Infidel lives matter says
Damn right.
JOHN SPIELMAN says
yup! because of his alliance with antichrist islam and his refusal to preach the truth of the Bible, and of Jesus as the ONLY SON OF GOD:
Francis is to me, ( to quote Martin Luther),…”neither pope nor catholic”
Mac-101 says
It appears he is the “False Prophet” of Revelation paving the way for Satan’s Beast’s rule of the NWO!
Westman says
“the best antidote is love. Love heals everything.” – Francis.
Yes, I can see those severed heads and hands and the bodies from which they were severed, rejoining in a miraculous celestial manifestation of love; accompanied by the words of the Quran, which magically change and reflect Allah’s new love for Infidels – all accomplished by healing love flowing like a warm river from Pope Francis and his Golden City.
Pope Francis would create a world in which all men are made equal, by a confluence of understanding while the Left would rather do it by societal and legal pressure. The goal is the same – turn back the influences of history, location, and time that created ethnicities until we are all alike. Leveling the world will not make us into mutts as the David Dukes of the world proclaim, but, rather, it will turn us into the “wolf” common ancestor – still a poor outcome.
All of our accomplishments and technical developments as humans have come at the apex of great civilizations which had their “hour upon the stage”. We are now so leveraged on technology, fuel, and fertilizers, for just our food, that we cannot go back to satisfy some egalitarian notion that would make all men equal on some little plot of land – billions would starve.
There will never be, nor can there be, true equality in anything but opportunities that match our varying abilities and potentials; accompanied by the freedom to attempt them. A system that considers its constituents to be slaves will never provide these.
Adrian Johnson says
The late Fr Malachi Martin (see his interviews on Utube–) said that thanks to the interactive politics of the Freemasons in the Vatican and the NWO powers that the last Pope would be (even if unaware of it) under the influence of Satan. Martin had been a Vatican insider before he sickened of the betrayal of the Church by the Jesuit order; so he asked Pope Paul VI to release him from the Jesuits though he remained a priest in good standing until his (suspicious) death. “many of his predictions have come true.
Fr Martin said that his “novels” were actually the truth about the realities of the geopolitical machinations in the Vatican; they are as timely today as when he wrote them. Pope Francis is a legitimately elected Pope; however he is fostering Satan’s NWO and undermining the authentic teaching of the Catholic Church.
When in doubt about any statement of Pope Francis’s, any Catholic can learn what is right and prudent by looking up what Thomas Aquinas advises: e.g., on the correct christian balance between 1) charity to the stranger and 2) the Prudence to weigh the danger of un-enculturated immigrants to the stabililty of a country which allows too many of them to settle.
Roy C says
I’ve been writing about this left wing crackpot for years now. Has anyone in the media – including Fox – noted the spectacle of the Venezuela dictator traveling to the Vatican seeking support from his fellow leftist traveler? Francis and Barak Hussein Obama are a perfect match in their ideology with the possible exception of abortion issues. The loony left has finally found a pope they can rally around, which tells you everything one needs to know about this secular progressive.
Valerie says
If all walls fall that will include the Vatican.
Then we’ll see how the pope likes islam up close.
IQ al Rassooli says
Pope Francis is the most DELUSIONAL and worst informed religious leader on the planet. He is also the foremost deceiver to his flock and the world.
LOVE cannot ever defeat Islam’s Quran mandated HATRED towards all those who are NOT Muslims (Infidels/ Kuffar) especially Christian Mushrikoon (they associate Jesus as the son of with Allah)
Francis told his 1.2 billion Catholic followers (and the world) that he could NOT find any aggressive verses in Muhammad’s Quran although any decent, fair minded human being with only TWO brain cells of logic having read only the first NINE chapters (no need to read all 114) would know how utterly INSANE and FALSE the pope’s assertion was and is
He is the very pope under whose WATCH hundreds of thousands of Christians have been Murdered, Raped, Enslaved and or Dispossessed all over the Middle East and Asia without ONCE linking Islam with TERROR but on the contrary asserting that Islam is “a religion of peace”!
I sincerely hope that his prediction that “all WALLS will fall” will come TRUE when the huge walls surrounding the Vatican will collapse (hopefully by divine intervention)
Francis has been and continues to be the antithesis of a true Christian no matter how many crosses he carries. He has shamelessly been aiding and abetting the very Muslims who have INVADED Europe and are currently destroying her from within just as they are doing their utmost with the connivance of the Catholic hierarchy and others in the USA
His legacy will be remembered more Satanic than Christian

Carolyne says
Well, there have been a number of earthquakes in Italy recently with one priest saying they were the result of gay marriage. Might they not just as well have been caused as a warning to Dope a Pope that the Vatican walls will be next?
I am an atheist, but not ignorant of the bible and I think that “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do” is appropriate here. The Pope’s desire to tear down walls might be sincere, but he has not thought out what would happen if the walls are done away with. Time to get out the silver hammer.
Salome says
The silver hammer might need to be preceded by a pillow.

To Roman Catholic commenters here at JW I say this regretfully and sorrowfully. Pope Francis I is a highly irresponsible, foolish and even destructive man and thus Roman Catholics with an adequate amount of moral intelligence, solid general intelligence and common sense must ask themselves what the Hell their God has been up to in allowing such a harmful fool as Francis I to ever become Pope in the first place.
Just askin’. Just sayin’.
I can’t stand this man. Why should anyone of sense stand him, whether Catholic or not?
Bill says
God had little to do with his election as Pope and the laity even less. Years of leftist intrigue within the Vatican, compromised leadership too close to the cult of pedophilia within the clerical hierarchy, the lure of large cash payments to institutions of the Church for settlement in the United States of muslim populations, loss of respect for by the Bishops and Cardinals for the freedom of the individual and self determination — all of these are man-made.
The Pope is rendering himself quite irrelevant to the Church and to many Catholics, including this one. I see him as a man who is associated with, and conspiring with, some of the worst people on the planet to threaten my God-given individual rights and freedom.

Father Malachi Martin –sadly long deceased now– said many years ago that there were a number of leftists in the Vatican and it was getting worse.
I’m sure Father Martin is spinning in his grave, seeing what’s happened in the Vatican and what the Catholic faithful have for a so called “leader”.
My Opinion says
His saying this while the Vatican is surrounded and protected by one of the tallest wall-to-wall protect it from the moslem invaders…what a hypocrite…”Poop Francis, tear down your wall!”
Richard Paulsen says
It is true, muslims are not afraid of Christians. They have no reasons to do, so far. Wherever they came, they have conquered Christians and been able to establish islam instead. So far without being stopped.
Christians really have profound reasons to be afraid and to protect themselves. The sooner the better. Before it will be as in the arabstates everywhere and before islam will gain more influence either forming majority or minority.
Things seem very dark regarding views like those of the present pope,

Actually, Christians in Europe and America have defended against Islam for hundreds of years–at Poitiers, at Lepanto, at the Gates of Vienna, on the Barbary Coast.
But now they have forgotten their own brave history, and all too many are riddled with the same “political correctness” and sense of unearned guilt that too many in the West suffer from.
Risto Kantonen says
The actions of the Pope right here underline so well some of the reasons why i am not only an atheist, but also an anti-theist! The Pope is so blinded by his own dogma that he is completely detached from reality, living in a constant psychosis.
I guess he also doesn’t mind the walls of Vatican falling when the muslims march in to conquer it. Or better yet, he should get rid of all the ballistic armour protections of the popemobile and ride in it in a parading fashion in Raqqa, Mosul, Tehran or Kabul to name a few select lovely places.

Tehran and Kabul and Raqqa–yes.
He is a jerk. And a pedophile enabler.
Risto Kantonen says
Oliver, True. ISIS will lose Mosul. It’s only a question of how and when. But right now it’s a raging warzone filled with jihadists that would become teary eyed from the mere thought of slaughtering the Pope. So, if the Pope really believed in what he said he would immediately embark on a parade to some of the most dangerous areas for Christians to be in. But he knows he’s full of crap and will only perform a speech virtue singnaling every now and then from his protected ivory tower.
Now, seriously about the term lone wolf; In terms of those practicing the jihad of the sword, there really aren’t any lone wolves. In their minds, they are accompanied and commanded by Mohammad and Allah.
Oliver says
Risto, There is an Israeli political cartoon DRY BONES–(I have mentioned this before)-they recently had a cartoon about Mosul- basically (paraphrasing)- there will still be ISIS lyalists and terrorists there, even if ISIS loses it.
And Sultan Kinish (I think David Greenfield) had an interesting blog the other day- (to an extent) saying what JW says-ISIS is more then a terror group- it has people all over. To do terrorist acts. (And, we the jerks, are letting them in). if anyone wants, will get the correct email for the posts- free; a few times a week, very well written.

Pope Francis denounces “politics of fear,” says “all walls fall”
……………………
Should the walls protecting the Vatican–built to keep out the Muslim hordes after the sack of Rome in 846–fall as well, and fall victim to the conquest of Islam?
Not all walls are the Berlin Wall, nor should they all fall.
Would he like to see St. Peter’s suffer the same fate as Hagia Sophia when Muslims conquered Constantinople in 1453–with those who took sanctuary there raped, enslaved, and murdered?
The “politics of fear” has become a grotesque buzzword–some things *should* be rationally feared, and protected against accordingly.
Mark Swan says
Fear is a logical response to anything that is a threat, is this man saying Islam is not a threat?
Surely, He knows very well He is misleading, and appears to have some real reason to do it.
Europe is changing, if He wants to still sit in the top seat of this Church, He can not be the
benign specter He appears to be now. The Church will follow the popular movement
of the time, showing itself as a viable Church. Maybe He aught to guard that
tongue of his, wait to see what the political wind finally blows into place.
gravenimage says
This is willful ignorance, Mark–the Pope must realize that Islam is a danger, but he desperately wants to ignore it.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely gravenimage I agree
Peter says
All walls fall, therefore don’t have any? The walls of Byzantium kept invaders, including Arab Islamic imperialists (starting in the late 7th century) at bay for centuries.
Lesson: strong walls, vigilantly maintained and defended, both by force and the will to use it, work as a protective and defensive measure.
The pope clearly believes in appeasement and is laying the foundation for unnecessary and needless capitulation of Europe and Christendom to modern-day Islamic imperialists and colonizers.
Down with the Pope!

But this man seems to be a nut job. My view
Angemon says
Perhaps. Some, though, fall from within, chipped away by people who think they know better than anyone else, people who are fat and lazy and so safe and drunk on the security provided by said walls that they can’t imagine people on the other side to be any different from them – everyone is a happy-go-lucky good Samaritan with a big smile on their faces, and anyone saying otherwise has their heart filled to the brim with hatred and fear. All walls fall? What happened to Troy when its walls fell? Or Constantinople?

“all walls fall” said the man who lives in a walled city, protected by armed guards. Unfortunately for the rest us we have no Swiss Guard or giant walls to protect us, you idiot Pope.
Hugh Fitzgerald says

Pope Francis have you packed the Vatican with the Multitude of humanity of Our Muslim friends? No and No! You fall short Pope and the Vatican has it’s own Walls. I guess you never heard ‘Fences make Good Neighbors’.
By the Way Pope Francis when are you going to meet the Grand Mufti in Mecca to have an interfaith service? Surely they will reciprocate. No need to have fear from the jeering Crowds. You read that correctly jeering not cheering but they will never let an infidel fool like to Mecca since only Muslims are allowed. They don’t share your vision.

Kay says
Is that true?
Cecilia Ellis says
Kay, it is true that Pope Francis took twelve Muslim Syrian “refugees” back from Lesbos to Rome. Initially, I believe there were three Christians included in that number. However, due to subsequently reported, alleged problems with selection protocols, it was determined at the last minute that the three Christians did not meet the EU time deadline criteria for resettlement, as their papers were not in order. As such, three Muslims, of course, were taken in their place. The following story is germane:

Thanks Cecilia.
I don’t even know what to say about that.
It’s heartbreaking. Plus I really believe the Pope should be providing a model to all Christians to support their persecuted brethren in whatever ways are possible.
“No comment” doesn’t cut it.

When the pope openly invites the migrants to live at the Vatican, feeds them, supports their treatment of women, opens St. Peter’s to them, and give them money, then and only then, might he have some credibility!! Not much, but only some.
According to catholic cannon law , by supporting the dem/lib/commies on abortion he should be excommunicated!!
melancholy observer says
No need for Catholics to worry. His Holiness i s not speaking ex cathedra. That last happened , I think, way back in 1953 when Pius x11 th ruled that Mary had ascended directly to heaven. All this pro-Islamic tripe can be ignored by self-respecting Catholics.. Certainly the present line of papal errant reasoning can be put down to the current secular religion of political correctness rather than anything in the bible or the traditional Catholic scriptures..

Phoney francis.The Jesuit stuntman.First,he adopts the name of a genuine Saint to give the impression
that he too is a holy man in the same league.Second,he loves to surround himself with a screen of manufactured good works and well publicised,well photographed stunts that are highly praised.
Maybe that lamb is symbolic alright.It is the Lamb of God about to be slaughtered on the altar of Jesuitical sophistry,leftwing Marxist ideology and political correctness by the man in Rome who speaks with a forked tongue.
1)Francis never stops boasting about his great love of the poor-he is even known to ring up poor people.
“So when you give something to a needy person,do not make a big show of it,as the HYPOCRITES do
in the houses of worship and in the streets.They do it so that people will praise them”
MATTHEW 6 V 2
so,only hypocrites make a big show of boasting about their love of the poor!
2)”Who am I to judge”francis famously stated?
“..But should you not judge members of your own fellowship?..”
I CORINTHIANS 5 V 13
No sign of the great francis doing that by sacking his pedo-protecting bishops,eh?
It seems this Jesuit genius is too busy playing the fool to notice.
Please remember the prophecy of St Francis of Assisi that predicted
a destroyer and also a prophecy from Fatima apparition 1917
“Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist”
The Whited Sepulchre in Rome, is, in my opinion,the false prophet of Revelations 13.
Protesting Catholic says
When I heard that Mr Bergolio had adopted the name francis,I almost died laughing at the phoneyness of it.
People were saying..”well ,he’s like St francis …he will rebuild the church”.But Catholics familiar with the Marian prophecies of Fatima and Garabandal(see “the 3 popes prophecy” of this apparition..)have known for decades about the false papacy that would arise to prepare the way for the arrival of the antichrist(or more correctly,the False Christ,predicted in II Thessalonians II).This false prophet pope would be to the false/anti-christ as John the Baptist is to Jesus Christ.Revelations chapter 13, the two beasts=the false prophet in Rome and the false/anti-christ.
francis has already changed Catholic church teaching regarding giving Communion to divorcees:So you can receive communion now…in a state of sin.The new liturgy has also sabotaged the Mass-and yet very few Catholics know this.
The predicted antichrist will come as a miracle working deceiver(the false Christ)and will fool many except those guided by the Holy Spirit,Marian and scriptural prophecies.
You don’t have to believe me but believe the following..
Read II Thessalonians II
and Revelations chapter 13

Covering up the issues of Islamism and Jihad terror and demonizing those who are concerned about these things is a fear-based approach that damages our societies; it drives people out of the process and leaves governance up to the ‘elites’. Shining a light on issues and discussing them in the open like adults, without name calling, is the transparent approach needed in our democracies/republics.
