Relations between the Holy See and Palestine were upgraded in 2015 with the signing of an accord expected to lead to the establishment of a Palestinian embassy in the Vatican at some point this year.
Israel was angered by the accord, which came two years after the Vatican recognized Palestine as a state.
Pope Francis has also called Abbas “an angel of peace.” Abbas is a vicious man who incites violence against Israelis. Abbas has pledged that “not a single Israeli” will exist in a future Palestinian state. Abbas’ advisor on Religious and Islamic Affairs, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, who is also the Supreme Shari’ah Judge, has openly proclaimed that Jews represent evil and Israel is “the project of Satan.”
Pope Francis is showing himself to be no friend of the West nor of Israel; he is enabling and supporting jihadis under the umbrella of Christianity and the powers of the Papacy. He has also fully supported and facilitated the hijrah into Europe; he denounced an “epidemic of animosity” against Muslim migrants, despite the surge in Muslim migrant crime, epidemic sexual assaults by Muslim migrants, and jihad attacks by Muslim migrants, with calls for more violence. As Robert Spencer stated:
“Pope Francis would apparently prefer that Europeans and North Americans be murdered in jihad attacks than that Muslim migration be slowed or halted in an attempt to prevent this.”
“Pope Francis to Host Abbas on Saturday”, Breitbart, January 11, 2017:
(AFP) – Pope Francis will grant Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas an audience at the Vatican on Saturday, the Holy See confirmed indirectly Tuesday by announcing arrangements for media coverage of the visit.
It will be the third time Francis has met Abbas following an encounter during the pontiff’s 2014 trip to the Holy Land and the Palestinian leader’s 2015 visit to the Vatican to attend a canonization ceremony for two Palestinian nuns.
Relations between the Holy See and Palestine were upgraded in 2015 with the signing of an accord expected to lead to the establishment of a Palestinian embassy in the Vatican at some point this year.
Israel was angered by the accord, which came two years after the Vatican recognized Palestine as a state. Relations with the Jewish state were also strained by Francis describing Abbas as an “angel of peace” during the two men’s May 2015 meeting.
Saturday’s meeting will come against a background of deep concern among Palestinians over US President-elect Donald Trump’s declared intention of moving the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem….

Lynne says
This pope is the biggest fool and which is even worse many Catholics can’t see it.
Elaine McMurren says
He’s not a fool. All of Bergoglio’s actions are deliberate. The last time he invited his Jihad buddies to the Vatican he had wooden boxes constructed to cover classical statues. Nudity offends the murdering idiots. If he has Muslims in Vatican City, the museums will have to go.
Wellington says
“He is not a fool. All of Bergoglio’s actions are deliberate.”
Just because actions are deliberate does not mean one is not a fool. I see this Pope as a profoundly foolish man and his foolishness stems from his overall Latin American leftism. And let’s facet it, no with any sense can look at Latin America and say, “Yeah, that’s a region of the world that really works.”
Wellington says
That’s “face it” and not “facet it.”

Agreed, Wellington.
Tradiguy says
Believe me, I know exactly what this evil wolf in sheeps clothing is up to! Vatican 2 has led to this arse being elected ‘pope’ – the Catholic Church has lost its faith and this is the inevitable result. He is not even a Christian let alone a catholic and definitely NOT a pope. Where are the Christian Armies fighting the Islamic onslaught? We stopped them at the gates of Vienna and beat them at Lepanto – now this creature has invited the Mohammedans into the heart of Christianity! ‘ ROME WILL LOSE THE FAITH AND BECOME THE SEAT OF THE ANTICHRIST!’ Our Lady- Fatima. She does not lie!
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Since your handle is ‘Tradiguy’ I presume that means that you are a trad Latin Rite Catholic. Is that true?
If that is so, you know that the Church has not ‘lost its faith’.
Whether you are or are not, I am a trad Catholic. And I know that the Catholic Church has not ‘lost its faith’. Our Blessed Lord Himself, when He was personally present here on earth, created the Church and promised: ‘Thou art Peter: upon this rock I shall build My Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.’
Certainly it is true that the present Pope is possessed of extraordinarily idiotic delusions in re: islam, to which alas! He often gives voice. But we have had abysmal Popes before (the Medicis spring to mind), and the Church has weathered them.
But I quite agree with your statements about Lepanto, etc.; and certainly Our Blessed Lady does not lie. However, the quote you attribute to Our Lady at Fatima is wrongly attributed. There is a great deal of controversy about this ‘quote’; but it was allegedly made at La Salette, not at Fatima.
pandainc says
‘Thou art Peter: upon this rock I shall build My Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.’ Absolutely right. Where the church (as opposed to Peter’s commission to establish the ‘Rock’) blew it is that the Lord did NOT say, “BTW, Pete, pass it on down.”
Vatican 2 is not the church’s problem, the church is the problem: It is a bureaucracy. Trace the history of the papacy and you’ll find some good men (we all get lucky on occasion) and some real stinkers: Does the name Borgia ring a bell?
This clown is one of the stinkers. So why are you supporting him? All popes are men elected by a college of cardinals, who are also just men. He isn’t the holy daddy.
karl anglin says
This Pope refuses to see that the invasion of Italy by Moslems is an attempt

Achmed says
Isn’t the pope the head of the church of Rome? Does he not, supposedly, speak for his church and flock?
Why cannot sane people see and recognize this … an islamophiliac in charge of billions of other islamophiliacs..
ArcadiaP says
Achmed don’t be so sure that the flock does not notice the actions of this Pope. There are already a number of Bishops and Cardinals that are well aware of some of the deceptive stances that this Pope has taken. I remember not to long ago of a number of Bishops calling for a reprimand on some of those teachings. We are not aware of all the rift that is going on behind the scenes.
Berengaria says
Pope Francis the Fickle must decide whether he is the Vicar of Christ or the Marxist Puppet of Allah, the all UnMerciful? I just wished that I Knew.
He has embraced the UN’s Agenda of Sustainabilty, NO CHRISTIAN, Catholic or Non-Catholic, would have brazenly accepted that piece of Anti-Christian GARBAGE!

Paleologos says
Not correct, NYgal.
Wellington has it right …
Wellington says
January 12, 2017 at 12:01 pm
Inveighing against the entire institution of the papacy serves no sound purpose. You do know, don’t you, that Robert Spencer himself is Catholic (Eastern Rite). Many popes have been wise, good and shrewd men and the papacy at its best can serve as a moral beacon not just for Catholics but for everyone.
Reconsider.

The sad truth is that the greatest Pope of my lifetime, Benedict XVI, looked islam in the eye with his Regensburg Address, …

Now, sadly, Benedict XVI has been followed by Francis, who is at the very least a dangerous idiot.

Aside from Paleolgos’s apt reply, it is simply insupportable to write as you did that, “The Vatican has always preferred that Muslims control Jerusalem and the Holy Land.” If this were so, then how do you explain all the popes like Urban II, Innocent III, Gregory IX, et al. (N.B., it’s a long, long list) who called for the Holy Land and Jerusalem to be taken back from the Muslims? Your statement, NYgal, is flat wrong on its face and, quite frankly, reveals a decided deficiency in historical knowledge. You know, a person is entitled to their own opinions but they are not entitled to their own facts.
Wellington says
I might add, NYgal, that should you have just been referring to recent times since the Jews began returning in large numbers to the Holy Land beginning in the late nineteenth century, I think it the case that the Vatican has had to be very careful about taking a stand on this particular matter since Christian lives aplenty in the Middle East were always a major consideration though, as Paleologus noted, Benedict XVI, who is indeed the finest Pope of our time, nonetheless braved the storm he knew would come by way of many statements he made which indicated Islam’s true nature, none finer than his Regensburg Address of 2006 already noted by Paleologus.

I wonder will Mr Bergoglio have an irresistible desire… to wash the feet of Mr Abbas in a public show of his willingness to abase himself in public.Maybe,the old Jesuit Heretic should do that.
Walter Sieruk says
There must be something terribly wrong with pope Francis to fraternize in fellowship with Abbas. This might mean that the pope actually sympathizes with the Islamic agenda of Abbas.
After all, in the Bible it’s written “Can two walk together , unless they are agreed ? ” Amos 3:3. [N.K.J.V.]
Phil Copson says
It’s dead simple – he wishes to remove himself from the “kill list” and so is abasing himself in a parade of pre-emptive surrender.
Why you people try to wrap up everyday human behaviour in theological twaddle, bemuses me.
These discussions some of you have with Ibrahim Itace Mohamed, for instance, are like reading the collected ravings of lunatics. Either there is a deity or there isn’t, and what you or I say about it is irrelevant. Still, if you can talk him down off his ledge before he runs amok, at least you’ll have done something positive.
Jesus was evidently a sensible bloke who saw that people needed to believe in something, and so set out a “do-as-you-would-be-done-by” philosophy in a language that people could understand and accept. Much better to behave yourselves “because God says so” than to indulge in barbarism “because God says so.”
The Pope isn’t the closest thing to a God on earth, he’s an ordinary flesh-and-blood human-being, who doubtless from time-to-time lies in bed shivering at the thought of what has happened to churchmen at the hands of anti-Christian fanatics around the world..
Being a Bishop didn’t help any during the Russian Revolution, or the Armenian Massacres, did it ?
Wellington says
“It’s dead simple—he wishes to remove himself from the “kill list” and so is abasing himself in a parade of pre-emptive surrender.”
No, you got this wrong too. I have many reservations about Pope Francis, indeed I think he is a fool, but one of his faults is not cowardice as you erroneously clearly implied. The man, I believe, really does believe what he says. it’s unfortunate he thinks the way he does about Islam, about capitalism, about the United States, about the right of a country to have secure borders, etc., but I am certain he is no coward. Popes, you know, may have faults, but cowardice is an exceedingly rare one among the some 260 or so who have been Pontifex Maximus.
Also, what the hell do you mean by your inane statement, “Being a Bishop didn’t help any during the Russian Revolution, of the Armenian Massacres, did it?” What, if Christianity were the true faith then its hierarchy would be protected by the Christian God and not be killed? Do you realize how silly this statement of yours is?
Finally, you used the term, “theological twaddle.” Just wondering. Is there any theological reasoning you don’t consider twaddle?

You do know that Wellington is a rational Agnostic, don’t you?
One does not have to be religious to realize that it matters whether a world religion is saying “love thy neighbor as thyself” or “kill the unbelievers wherever you find them.
This matters to *everyone*–Agnostics and Atheists are victims of Islam just as Christians are.
And yes–it matters if a world leader–which is what the Pope is–is appeasing a mass murderer. The consequences are not just theological.

When have churchmen ever thought that they were invulnerable? But no; like Wellington, I do not believe that Pope Francis is betraying his flock out of cowardice.
Besides, if you believe that this kind of appeasement will protect him, then you understand little about Islam.
Wellington says
Phil Copson, gravenimage, as you accurately detailed, understands not only not a little about Islam, but little about so many other things as well (e.g., Christian theology—–oh yeah, just think about what this doofus knows about Tertullian, Origen, Augustine, Erigena, Anselm, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, or even modern theologians like Paul Tillich and Martin Buber).
You know, I do take a certain joy in a person revealing what a fool they are all the while they think themselves wise. Perhaps I shouldn’t but I just can’t help myself at times reveling in how self-destruction poses as some kind of sapience. Phil Copson is a first-rate, front-and-center, example of this.
Phil Copson says
Wellington – you revel away, old son – it doesn’t hurt me any -.(although I do think that you meant “revelling” as opposed to reveling….)
I didn’t address my remarks to “gravenimage”, mention “gravenimage”, or “accurately detail” anything he has said – you did.
So spare me your home-brewed tacquiya.
If you are determined to believe in the non-existent on the basis of some old parchments, then you can’t be surprised that other people believe equally firmly in what is written on their particular set of old parchments.
Both beliefs are equally irrational, theirs are just more lethal.
Do you seriously think that having a couple of pounds of electric-jelly between your ears enables you to understand everything there is to know about the universe ? That is monstrously foolish and arrogant.
The surviving writings of hundreds and thousands of years ago, are obviously a small percentage compared to the wholesale destruction of ancient libraries, nobody can claim complete knowledge of what older civilisations knew and thought.
You may know Plutarch’s inside leg-measurement, but it won’t save you from a 15-ton truck.
Your remarks about my being “self-destructive” bring me back once again to the passive-aggressive nature of people like you; you might not physically attack me yourself, but you’re sitting there at home with a box of tissues “revelling” in the thought of the torments in store for those who won’t give you the recognition you crave. If you can find an imp or something, you just send him round – he’ll go nicely with my collection of stuffed cherubs.
A bit less theology and a bit more back-bone might improve your life-expectancy.
Wellington says
First of all, Phil Copson, it’s “revealing” I meant, and as I stated, and not your erroneous correction of what you think I meant to state. So, right up front you got this wrong.
Second, so what if you didn’t address gravenimage? I addressed gravenimage’s on point dissection of your comments. What, is this not allowed by your Imperial Nothingness? Where do these rules exist except in your limited mind?
Both beliefs (I assume here you mean Christianity and Islam) you assert are equally irrational though you stumble into the truth by conceding that the Islamic belief system is more lethal, which surely it is. For instance, in the Koran there are 164 verses calling for war to be made upon non-Muslims in order to make all the world Islamic eventually while there are 0 verses in the New Testament calling for Christians to wage war upon non-Christians until all the world is Christian. But, stunningly, in your stupid moral equivalency thinking (if you can indeed dignify what you have written with the word, “thinking”), you never bothered to mention this HUGE difference between the Judeo-Christian ethic versus the Islamic ethic, unless it was by way of pointing out the lethality of the one over the other but WITHOUT indicating any reason why this might be the case. Deficient at best here. Moronic at worst here.
Noticed as well you didn’t bother to explain why theology in general, and specifically the Christian theologians I mentioned in my 7:10 P.M. post to gravenimage, for instance what Erigena wrote, are not worthy of at least SPECIFIC refutation. I suspect it is due on your part to two things: 1) you really don’t understand theology at all; and 2) you’ve never bothered to read what someone like Erigena posited. BTW, I ultimately accept no theological explanation because I am not religious in the least but I know enough to read what those I disagree with say, for example Erigena or Duns Scotus. Don’t think you have gone this far, but then I don’t think you’ve gone far in anything except hubris and ignorance.
Finally, as for the rot you wrote about my craving recognition, blah, blah, blah, gotta’ tell you, oh ignoramus, I detect projection here big time. Done here.
Phil Copson says
“I stumbled into the truth” did I, by noticing that Islam is more lethal than Christianity ?
No, I can see the obvious, is all.
And No – I don’t “concede” it, any more than I “concede” that water is wet, or the sun is hot.
These things are facts and don’t need anyone to concede or refute them.
Neither I nor anybody else needs to go counting verses in the Koran to see this.
We all know the explanation for why Islam is more lethal than Christianity, it doesn’t make me or anybody else a moron, if they don’t include an explanation on why this is so each time they mention the two systems.
Still – if it keeps you happy; Islam is more lethal than Christianity, because Islam call for murder and Christianity doesn’t – is that simple enough for you ? Didn’t need a meeting of the General Synod of get there did it ?
If you want to spend your time reading the back-story, that’s up to you, but it doesn’t give you rights to try to patronise people who don’t.
All anybody needs to know about theology is that there are/were a variety of systems by which human civilisations organised themselves based on belief in deities.
Strangely enough, the people who claimed to be the most devout, were always the richest and most powerful in earthly terms.
Could that be a coincidence ? No, I don’t think so either.
And I don’t read every single comment on Jihad Watch, so No – I haven’t the slightest idea what gravenimage may or may not have said about one of my posts.
The point of Jihad Watch is to learn about the danger posed to the non-Muslim world by Islam, and to act upon it by improving our defences.
Discussing theology instead is just fiddling while Rome burns.
What has 2000 years of Christian teaching come to ? Pope Francis – ’nuff said.
It’s the Tod Beamers of this world that we stand in need of, not people who hide behind assumed names to make anonymous posts.
Wellington says
:”What has 2000 years of Christian teaching come to? Pope Francis—nuff said.”
Well, you really nailed it, a brilliant summation of 2000 years of Christian teaching. I mean who could add anything more of substance since you masterfully summed it all up. No further reason to discourse on 2000 years of Christianity after the sapient comment by you. Case closed, and thank you oh wise one.
Troybeam says
Rome fell because they let the enemy in much of what this Pope is doing in the name of Christ’s love and acceptance however Islam does not and never will accept any other belief than their own. Islam’s belief of being superior to all else is what drives that conquer mentality and killing without remorse.

I can’t think of a more symbolic gesture; indicating that the Vatican is mistakenly willing to have Israel annihilated in order to remove pressure from its members in the ME.

As a collorary, the Pope should realize that the likely long- term result of his invitation to Islam, particulary if it leads to a wide war between East and West, will be Catholics leaving religion, altogether.
