“What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact.”
Indeed. Pope Francis is not only disastrously wrongheaded about an obvious fact that is reinforced by every day’s headlines, but he is also deceiving and misleading his people about a matter of utmost importance, and keeping them ignorant and complacent about a growing and advancing threat.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Pope Francis: ‘Muslim Terrorism Does Not Exist,’” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, February 17, 2017:
In an impassioned address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.”
“Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” Francis said in his speech to a world meeting of populist movements.
What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact.
“No people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent,” Francis said, while also suggesting—as he has on other occasions—that terrorism is primarily a result of economic inequalities rather than religious beliefs. “The poor and the poorer peoples are accused of violence yet, without equal opportunities, the different forms of aggression and conflict will find a fertile terrain for growth and will eventually explode.”
The Pope also reiterated his conviction that all religions promote peace and that the danger of violent radicalization exists equally in all religions.
“There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions—and with intolerant generalizations they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia,” he said.
While denying the existence of Islamic terrorism, Francis also seemed to condemn the denial of global warming, asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.”
“A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system,” he said.
We know “what happens when we deny science and disregard the voice of Nature,” the Pope said. “Let us not fall into denial. Time is running out. Let us act. I ask you again—all of you, people of all backgrounds including native people, pastors, political leaders—to defend Creation.”
While acknowledging that science is not “the only form of knowledge,” and that “science is not necessarily ‘neutral’” and often “conceals ideological views or economic interests,” he still insisted that people of good will should not oppose “scientific consensus” regarding global warming.
Leftist media like the liberal Guardian in the U.K. immediately politicized the speech, predictably claiming that the Pope was backing “anti-Trump protests,” despite the fact that the Pope himself denied such a claim, explicitly declaring that “I am not speaking of anyone in particular.”
“I am not speaking of anyone in particular, I am speaking of a social and political process that flourishes in many parts of the world and poses a grave danger for humanity,” he said.
Moreover, although the Guardian claimed that the Pope was “condemning populism,” in point of fact, he was speaking to populist movements and praised their commitment to democracy.
“The direction taken beyond this historic turning-point,” Francis said, “will depend on people’s involvement and participation and, largely, on yourselves, the popular movements.”
Nevertheless, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, said Monday that the Holy See is concerned over growing populist and nationalist movements, both in Europe and in the United States.
In an interview for the Italian evening news on the state-owned RAI network, the Cardinal was asked whether the Vatican is worried about what the interviewer called “the spread of nationalism and populism not only in Europe but also in the United States with Donald Trump.”
“I think so, I think so,” Parolin said. “Certainly these closings are not a good sign,” since many of them “are born of fear, which is not a good counselor.”…

His Health is a Question,because NOBODY Sees or hears him?
NO Media VISITING Benedict?

A Supposedly VERY ILL Pontiff steps down , and does NOT GO HOME to Germany?

And NO reports on his Medical Condition?.
He really is “The Man Who Isn’t”
Does anybody KNOW where Benedict is?
The World NEEDS to know Where and in WHAT Condition is Pope Benedict ?

He is reported to be living in luxury at Castel Gandolpho, the Papal summer retreat on the sea.

Some people think this Pope is the anti-Christ in disguise. I can see where they get it from.

Steve K says
This popes first religion is not Catholocism, it is political correctness. He is destroying the church. (but then that is probably his goal)
Christianblood says
It is very likely that this “Pope” is mentally unstable and has dementia and pro-islamic liberals in the Vatican are using him as their mouthpiece to further their corrupt agenda.
Leon Degney says
He isn’t the only world “leader” who shows mental instability. There are so many at the moment they’re beyond counting. Trump seem to be the only sane one in the heap and look what they are doing to him.
Carolyne says
While many world leaders are indeed mentally unstable, this is the only one who claims to have a direct line to God.

I don’t think he has dementia–this is the same “political correctness” one finds in so much of Dar-al-Harb.

Voytek Gagalka says
“Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” the Pope says. Wow! If following this “non sequitur logic” while indulging himself on running with ultrasonic express speed the Pope would admit at last that God does not exists, it would be indeed truly something original and worthy of a new encyclical letter if not the Great Vatican Synod. Maybe this pope also does not exist and it is only currently polluting my dream, hence his obsessive preoccupation with “the ecological crisis”?
John C. Barile says
But the populace, they all love him, Voytek. We must all embrace the World According to Francis. Only HIS cult of personality will save our planet!

Greyhound Fancier says
Recently the Pope commemorated the martyrdom of the French priest murdered at the altar by a Mohammedan terrorist. What the heck?
gravenimage says
Yes–Pope Francis called Father Hamel a Martyr.
He also noted, “today, there are Christians murdered, tortured, imprisoned, beheaded because they don’t deny Christ,” the pope said.
https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2016/09/14/pope-calls-french-priest-murdered-isis-loyalists-martyr/
The article goes on to say, “although he didn’t mention any religion in particular, Francis did say that he wished all faiths would say that “killing in the name of God is satanic.”
But that’s the whole problem–the pontiff did not once mention Islam.
John C. Barile says
GI–this 3-day confab includes co-sponsoring Soros-funded Alinskyite groups–the Gamaliel Foundation and PICO. Cardinals Joseph Tobin and Peter Turkson are present at this event. Cardinal Turkson heads the newly-created Vatican Dicastery for Integral Human Development. Also present for a plenary panel on migration was Zahra Billoo of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
gravenimage says
Thanks for the additional information, John–very disturbing.
Carolyne says
What in the world is a Vatican Dicastery for Integral Human Development? Whatever it is, count me out.
John C. Barile says
A dangerous novelty–but, hey, it’s trendy and quite the thing!
gravenimage says
Here’s Wikipedia:
This dicastery of the Roman Curia combined the work of four Pontifical Councils established following the Second Vatican Council: Justice and Peace, Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers, and Cor Unum. Pope Francis has given it responsibility for “issues regarding migrants, those in need, the sick, the excluded and marginalized, the imprisoned and the unemployed, as well as victims of armed conflict, natural disasters, and all forms of slavery and torture”.
While they may indeed wind up doing some good work, it sounds as though this is largely focused on enabling more Muslim invaders to flood into Europe.

Maybe he is just unwell. Maybe he does not have the strength to read the koran or see what is happening.

He got one thing right “Time is running out” – the end may be sooner than we thought with this secular humanist as Pope. He proves he is blind and deceived by equating Christianity to Muslim terrorism. Hasn’t he ever read 1 John 1-4?! He is either blind, or a willfully false teacher. He is dangerous. He is #NotMyPope!
Westman says
Let’s not kid ourselves, this man is playing for the agenda-media with a well-crafted resonance for their Trump persecution with a side helping of plausable deniability for his real intentions.
Not only does he try to sell “there is no Islamic terrorism”, he keeps repeating the intentional lie that Islamic violence is rooted in poverty. We remember those “broke” Muslim college kids who flew planes into towers after partying; the rest of the poor underprivileged Muslim muderers in the West, the tens of thousands of Islamic attacks around the world with unknown financing, and the well financed ISIS in the ME. Such dishonesty does not belong in any Christian Church.
The agenda-media has found its agenda-Pope. They can begin their Hail Marys.
Greyhound Fancier says
One of the reasons that Mohammedan countries are so poor is the unremitting violence, which reduces the ability to conduct commerce, the oppression of the women, and the primitive beliefs of the people.
Pray daily for the conversion of Mohammedans by the hundreds of millions. That would help the people to have lives of peace and an abundant life.
Carolyne says
If God is all-seeing, and if God can see the present situation, why does he need to be asked to correct it? Wouldn’t that be something he could do on his own?
Nancy says
God’s thoughts, are not our thoughts, and God’s ways, are not our ways.
Allan says
But of course it is, Carolyne. Hence Nancy’s special pleading with a cliché, the better to escape the cognitive dissonance induced by the extreme contrast between reality and her childish beliefs.
It’s by the way that God, aka Love, should simply refrain from making more Muhammadists, from giving over souls to Islam and the circumstances of nearly certain eternal damnation. Love’s love implies willingness to do so, and Love’s omnipotence implies ability.
Now what saith Nancy in reply to this self-evident truth? “God’s thoughts,” she insists, “are not our thoughts, and God’s ways, are not our ways.” Well, it’s rather clear what’s going on in the thoughts of believers like Nancy. When they say that “God is love”, they don’t really mean love at all but enmity, malice, hatred, etc.
You may have noticed that leftists, too, play such childish word games. So in their glossaries, a “liberal” supports thievery and bullying collectivism, and the antisocial religion of communism is called “socialism”.
gravenimage says
Allan has said before that he hates Christians, and considers pious Muslims more “manly”. *Ugh*.
Mark Swan says
God is not trying to fix Man’s and Satan’s World.
For now God is allowing humans time for experimenting with everything, Religion, Government, Education, and everything else. That time is nearly up. The time of Man and Satan’s rule will end. We will be on the verge of destroying all live on earth, if God did not intervene, all life would be destroyed. At that point, Christ will return to this earth.
Joe McDonald says

He is not feckless. He is dangerous.

Millions upon millions die under Communism and only the elite improve their position as a result of it.
Uriah Sheep says
Very very true, Bill. A figure of 60 million Russians of which almost all were of Christian faith were tortured, starved and murdered by the Bolsheviks between 1918 and 1953.
This time, they won’t be doing the mass killings. Their Islamic workhorses will be doing most of the donkey work for them.
Blangwort says
So the violence purported to be done in the name of Islam to strike fear in to those who are not Muslim is not Terrorism? Do tell, Pope Francis, what shall we call it?
Islamic terrorism that isn’t Islamic? That’s like calling the Islamic State a non-Islamic state. They commit violence in the name of Islam, but it’s not really Islam, so…
All I know is that they seem to be justifying their deeds from passages in the Koran. They seem to be doing some awful things in the name of their religion which they call Islam, but apparently others who are not Imams seem to say is not.
The only thing we are doing is sowing confusion so that people won’t fight this enemy that seems to be doing everything they can to spoil for a fight.
They want a fight? What’s wrong with delivering that fight good and hard? Maybe if we let a few of these vermin survive, they’ll have enough social memory to seek repentance for this massively foolish fight they’re picking.
Oh, and by the way, we put boots on the ground once. I recommend we not bother next time.

Could this not be done surgically by satellite with focused beams that do grid coverage, kind of like applying pesticides in a field?
The cultists wouldn’t feel a thing.
Sadly, we’d have to wait a generation for the zealots to fade into history, but at least we’d be on moral high ground, no broken commandments….

This conflict is impossible to reconcile without nuclear weapons. Neutron bombs are an excellent weapon to kill people, but preserve infrastructure and edifices.
We’ll need conventional Hydrogen bombs to destroy nuke arsenals and nuke production facilities however.

We know “what happens when we deny science and disregard the voice of Nature,” the Pope said. “Let us not fall into denial. Time is running out. Let us act. I ask you again—all of you, people of all backgrounds including native people, pastors, political leaders—to defend Creation
Defend creation? We’re called to defend our faith in Jesus! “Do not be deceived” are the words Jesus said more than anything else about the end times. He said it about our faith in HIM! Our faith in Jesus is what sets us apart from Islam – the Pope should know that – it’s telling that he doesn’t, or worse, that he is deceiving others.
John C. Barile says

StacyGirl says
What Vatican II did to begin emptying the pews, Dope Francis has perfected. The parishes here are now asking for corporate matching funds to carry out their “mission” which always seems to include immigrants or death row types. The faithful are leaving and being replaced by those who are entirely replacing doctrine with leftist dribble. Francis has made the church which no longer stands for anything fall for everything.
Carolyne says
The Catholic Church (and other churches) are already receiving millions of our tax money to resettle “Refugees.”
They don’t need any more.
Hadi Burlingame says
Francis has lost himself in the St Francis prayer and no longer resides on the earthly plane. Unfortunately most of the rest of us still live here in this broken reality where ignoring truth is not feasible.
John C. Barile says
The deal here is that this Pontiff seems NOT to be anchored in the deepest truths of our Faith (!!!), thus he doesn’t seem to really understand the corporal works of mercy, and generally neglects the spiritual works of mercy. Just what, I wonder, is this mercy that he heralds to us?
Remember that Saint Francis offered his life up when he went and preached to the Muslim caliph–who, obviously moved, sent him and his companion away unharmed, dismissing him as a madman and thus sparing him. Francis is an exemplar after the model of Our Lord of what true mercy in service to the Truth is.
John C. Barile says
Saint Francis is an exemplar, that is. Pope Francis really doesn’t get it, the Truth that shall set us free.
Carolyne says
In other words, John C Barile, we should all offer our lives to the Muslims in order to emulate St. Francis of Assissi? IMO only a madman would do that.
John C. Barile says
Wrong inference, Carolyne. And I am speaking (perhaps a bit too) charitably about Pope Francis here.
Young Saint Francis sought to be a knight. Disillusioned, he became a man wholly given to the Gospel and his religious vows. In that capacity, he accompanied the army of the Fifth Crusade to Egypt. It’s not a matter of pacifism over an active Christian realism. Saint Francis sought to do what armies alone couldn’t do–by bearing fearless witness to Christ and his truth, he hoped to convert hearts and save souls–and, perhaps, win freedom for the proclamation of the Gospel and freedom for Christian captives.
Saint Francis, then, was every bit a najis kufr Crusader as the Christian army that landed at Damietta in the Nile Delta. And he was their chaplain, also. We certainly need chaplains in any just fight.
John C. Barile says
Ideally, then, we should offer up our lives to God–that would change this world for the better. It certainly would change us for the better. For myself, I think that takes the form of a living martyrdom.
DAN CELLI says
It must be Obama in Pope’s clothing. Most terrorist’s are Muslim. Why would they yell”GOD IS GREAT!!!” in their language before or after they murder shopper’s, a Wedding Ceremony,Cutting a priest’s throat etc. This Pope is a liar and should go straight to the Confessional.

John C. Barile says

I don’t think so. We fought them for five centuries. Ecumenical patriarch may be trying to appease them. Clergy doesn’t.
gravenimage says
Okay–but if the Patriarch is appeasing Islam–as he is–it is difficult to imagine that the rank and file clergy is not influenced by this.
But yes–the Orthodox Church–just like the Catholic Church–has fought bravely against Islam for many hundreds of years–for more than five centuries, in fact.
I fully acknowledge and admire this brave legacy.
Daniel Triplett says
A Crusader, Pope Francis is not.
He ought to be in the forefront leading a modern-day Crusade to protect Good on God’s Earth. He should be meeting with Kafir Heads of State to form an Alliance, and encourage using nukes versus swords, eradicating Satanic Islamic evil from God’s Earth forever.
Carolyne says
IMO The Pope should stay in the Vatican and pray. He has no business making any public statements regarding politics and particularly not advising on warfare. While I consider him to be nothing more than a little shrunken Argentinian in a dress, elected by a bunch of similar men in red dresses, men with no particular supernatural power, what he says is usually laughable.
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed, about this pope.
What the Vatican needs is a more ruthless pope, similar to pontiffs of the medieval era, to recognize and confront the medieval enemy.
I didn’t choose my words carefully with the foregoing post. I don’t believe any pope should define or lead the war strategy required for the Kafirs today. However, since our enemy defines this as a religious holy war, there’s no denying the religious perspective for our strategies ought be considered.
The pope has massive amounts of influence Worldwide across Dar al-Harb, in a way no one else does. If he spoke the truth about the problem, and called on all Catholics to destroy the evil Islamic ideology, our campaign to destroy Islam would reap a significant reward. That is where his power could be useful; not in deciding when and where to use nukes, or how to prosecute the war.
I believe our goal ought not be to force 1.7 Billion Muslims into 1.7 Billion Atheists. I believe we should force apostasy from Islam Worldwide and encourage, not force, Christianity. The World already has a community of 2.2 Billion Christians who would welcome the Apostates as friends who’d practice and worship the same God, and share the same values. Again, the right pope could be influential toward that goal.
gravenimage says
Agreed–that is why I was so heartened by Pope Benedict’s views on the threat of Islam.

American-Pragmatism says
The Pope is trying to protect religion. Just as terrorism is a tool used by Jihadists for a goal, jihadism is used as a tool for a goal to eradicate religion, which is a tool to stifle the Works of the Lord Jesus.

I’m afraid that the Pope is doing nothing to protect Christianity–or any other non-Muslim faith–by whitewashing Islam.
Carolyne says
Perhaps, American Pragmatism, you would care to explain just how the Pope is protecting Christianity? IMO he is hastening its demise.
American-Pragmatism says
The next step for the is an eradication of religion by suggesting that religion causes violence and terrorism and NOT just Islam docterin. We will have to push back hard quoting the new and old tesrament versus the Koran.
I do however agree the Pope’s method isn’t the way I would handle this.
American-Pragmatism says
There are clues that these steps have been planned. From murals in Denver International to stone monuments.

“There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions.” ~Pope Francis
Well that’s just a fallacy of omission in that it fails to take into account some important facts, like the highly disproportionate number of terror acts by muslims, and the fact that jihad is 1400 years old, and that their politically motivated religion actually teaches that violence. None of those damning facts are shared by any other religion. The pope is the one doing the “hasty generalization” by lumping other religions together with islam. Islam is the most violent religion on the planet by far, to imply that other faiths are also waging war against non-believers is a diabolical lie. And did you notice his primary condemnation is not with the incredible bigotry and violence of islam? but instead with the growing nationalist and populist trends. He refuses to consider these movements as an understandable response to sick islam, he’d rather pretend islamic ideology is peaceful and that jihad is the product of our “hasty generalizations,” our “hate,” and our “xenophobia.” Which is just a conniving way of saying it’s our fault muslims are waging jihad and live by a violent, hateful creed.
This intellectual and moral dishonesty no longer surprises me, all the appeasers and milksops share the same trait of pathological lying for islam. And this is supposed to be Christ’s vicar, an infallible font of divine wisdom! lol. No, a true man of god would never try to mitigate the horrific effects of a terroristic ideology with an obscene misrepresentation of the facts like he does. Thousands of Christians are dying and running for their lives from islam, their churches and homes destroyed. Instead of dwelling on the “voice of nature” maybe the pope should start listening for the cries of his own persecuted people. Just a humble suggestion from a racist bigot islamophobe.

Before he became a priest, Pope Frankie was a bouncer in a bar. It must have been a rough place, and he must have been hit in the head more than a few times.

His life is just as vulnerable as anybody else’s, but he does not see it. Perhaps he will elevate himself to a Saint, and figure he can do what nobody else has ever done; Return from the dead.

I’m sorry but this Pope needs his head examined! The things that come out of his mouth are ludicrous! Could he really be that ignorant or does he know exactly what he’s doing? Maybe he thinks if he says it enough it will be true. As a Christian he should be trying to change the hearts and minds of Muslims not condoning a cult such as Islam. Just saying………..
frederick King says
does this pope think he will be able to convert all of these tribesmen after they mass migrate to the west, and see the light ?
I really believe a good old Crusade calling would be more in order.
What does he have to say of the Taliban ? What about the “blasphemy” mobs in Pakistan. The ones that murder and loot non-muslims ? This is not islam ? Does he feel that animals that behave this way should be able to mass migrate in hordes ? Muslims can visit the vatican and all the churches and such. Does he feel infidels should not be able to visit mecca, as is forbidden ? Did the pope approve of saudi arabia giving protection to Idi Amin ?
I am not religious at all. I attended catholic school for three years. The nuns scared me, and I could never understand why an all knowing and loving god would create bad people and then burn them in hell. It still makes no sense. Perhaps the magic will only work if you punish your imperfect creations ?
If A person wants t be religious, and believe in creation, that is their business. Religious rules were likely one of the only ways to control primitive humans that did not know or understand science. This is the 21st century. Bronze and dark ages behavior are no longer ok with most of the people of the earth. Violent, supremacist religions that call for the conversion of the entire planet must not be allowed to spread into the civilized world and continue this behavior.
These people are killing each other if in the wrong sect. They kill and rob infidels, and think it’s ok and they will go to heaven for this.
Call for a Crusade, mr. Pope. Just like Popes did in the past to stop the muslim invaders.
At least call for muslims to stop killing non muslims in their islamic countries.
Carolyne says
No, he doesn’t think he will convert Muslims. He thinks he will convert Christians to Islam.
Singh the Sikh says
This pope is evil for enabling evil. Evil by his association with evil. Part of the same group/institution that created conditions for paedophilia and tried to cover up priestly sexual abuse. The custodians of this church have become notorious for using their position to enable, hide and protect evil-doing such as sexual abuse and terrorism. A catholic uprising to kick the bastards out and overhaul the system is long overdue.

This is all part of the Islamic plan. In fact it is part of Phase 2 of the 5 part plan found is papers from a 2004 FBI raid.
The FBI seized a Muslim Brotherhood document in 2004 that laid out its plan to overtake the West.
The plan consisted of five phases:
1.The “secret establishment of leadership”
2.“…gradual appearance on the public scene.”Phase 2 calls for “infiltrating various sectors of government,” “gaining religious institutions,” “gaining public support and sympathy” and “establishing a shadow government.”
3.“Escalation phase,” which focuses on “utilizing mass media.” The document says that this stage is “currently in progress.”
4.“Open confrontation with the government through … political pressure” and “training on the use of weapons domestically.” The document says that there are “noticeable activities in this regard.”
5.The final phase: “Seizing power to establish their Islamic Nation under which all
parties and Islamic groups are united.”

Louise M. says
In fact, this should be officially published by the USA Government to inform about what is truly happening, and how.
I still believe that Islam has been recruited to be the Globalist’s Army. Their fight is both armed and psychological.
Why not an international Congress to openly discuss these matters. That would be the end of all secrecy and ”shadow government”…
There nothing like Light to dispel the darkness.

I agree, light has a way on disinfection of a multitude of evil. That light beginning with Jesus the Christ.
Dansplace says
Liberals hate the truth based on facts, no matter what country they are from…….Political Correctness in much more important to them than the truth based on facts, even if it cost the lives Christians and Jews! The facts are…… islam wants to destroy Israel and kill all who oppose their sick beliefs as required by the writings in their Quran!…..This is a fact that all liberals want to ignore, especially this liberal pope. I would like this question answered by the pope and every liberal in the world…….”How many muslim countries would welcome thousands of Christian and Jews and other religions into their country!”……..Just name one………..
Dermot Ellard says
The Pope and the Vatican hold as a policy that they are determined to avoid the Catholic Church being dragged into this clash of Religions. Just as in World War 2, the Church wants to remain “above” such conflicts directly. Pope Francis is perfectly aware of the true intent of Islam as a force for terrorism and forced conversion. Of course not all Muslims subscribe to this ideology. We had a saying in Ireland during World War 2. “The Irish are neutral on the side of the Allies”. Now you could say “the Pope is neutral on the side of Christianity.
gravenimage says
It’s worse than that, I’m afraid. The pontiff could just stay quiet on the subject–instead, he is whitewashing Islam and calling for millions more Muslims to flood into Europe.
Robert Brooks says
“the spread of nationalism and populism not only in Europe but also in the United States with Donald Trump.”
Notice how the west is always the culprit and the mudslimes are always doing the killing?
nicholas tesdorf says
If the Pope thinks that all religions promote peace, then he has not yet read the Qur’an or the Haddith and Sunna of Muhammed. If he did that, his mind would clear. Naturally, being wrong on religion, the Pope is also wrong about Global Warming / Climate Change and has clearly not been following the real scientific debate. The consensus that he believes proves CAGW is bogus and in any case ‘consensus’ is not a scientific procedure. I wonder how much the Pope knows about Christianity beyond the rituals.
BC says
Since 9/11 people following the Islamic religion or at least acting in its name have committed
30,333 acts of terrorism, which averages out to nearly 2000 per year. This in fact is only those reported in the media, so the real total is most likely far more. Add to that acts of violence against the person, eg. killing of siblings or wives and also individuals, for ‘religious’ reasons which are frequent in all countries where Muslims are located. Can the pope tell us how many acts of terrorism have been committed by his followers, or those of the Protestant churches? Or those of the Hindu, Buddhist or Shinto beliefs?
Either the pope is ignorant of these statistics or he is a very stupid man
gravenimage says
All true, BC.

This terrific quote by Theodore Dalrymple is more relevant than ever:
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
HugoHackenbush says
That is a terrific quote! Please provide a reference in Dalrymple’s work so I can buy the book.
I think we are seeing this played out currently with the “pronoun” and “bathroom” issues. Or in other words: “Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes!?

Carole Kotkiewicz says
It’s called willful ignorance!
Thomas Lewis says
I cannot tell if the pope is suffering from a Mental disease. Its possible. However, he is lacking any sense of the Catholic Faith as he has not aware of the concept of the Fifth Commandment “Thou shall not Kill.” Since the Muslim religion has 92 entries in its Holy Book regarding the killing of Infidels who are often referred to as those who do not accept Islam. Killing, Raping, Murdering, Beating, Torturing, Burning, Hanging, Beheading, Mutilating, Whipping are common practices used by those who call themselves Muslim. If these practices are committed and accepted by the Pope, then he is NO LONGER CHRISTIAN but rather a Tyrant who needs to be removed from office and replaced by someone who IS AWARE of the Commandments of God.
J Price says
It is clear the the pope is disconnected from reality. The sky is a different color in his world.
Ali Bey says

Horseman says
This Pope is over-the-top ridiculous!
Troybeam says
Just a matter of time before he gives Islam the Keys to city, this Pope should be revoked and replaced.
Dan King says
He isn’t some senile old man who does not know how to express his own thoughts. What he said is what he believes. This is why he will be the last pope as prophesied hundreds of years ago by a true Christian.
Troybeam says
is there scripture to back up that statement?
Dan King says
Troy, have you never heard of the malachy prophecies? Just Google it.
gravenimage says
You’ll notice that the “prophecies” on the popes are quite reliable up until the late 16th century–when the book was published, not coincedentally. After that, they become pretty vague…
David H says
The man is a complete fool. Unfortunately, our Archbishop, Justin Welby, appears to be going in the same direction, including signs of Trump Derangement Syndrome!
Carolyne says
Well, no Syrian refugees, no money from our taxes to the Catholic Church to “Resettle” them. Trump is not popular to those who are becoming richer with our tax money. He intends to stop it.
The Pope is likely unhappy that yesterday Mr. Trump signed an EO to revitalize the coal industry by voiding harmful regulations. This means thousands of jobs in KY, VA and WVA. Global warming is a hoax. The earth fluctuates between hot and cold naturally, and has done so since its beginning. In fact, at the present the earth is cooling, not warming. It is a money-making scheme for people like Al gore and a method of redistributing wealth globally. The goal of people like the Pope is to make the entire human population poor, except, of course, himself. He can continue to live among splendor and great art masterpieces. .
Richard Courtemanche says
He must be joggling with interpretations of this statement otherwise he’s definitely not infallible
Richard Paulsen says
Nationalism was needed to fight nazism. Have learned that denationalized Sovjet had to allow uniforms with badges of ranks and uniforms like during hated tsaristdays, even made of gold. Christian schools for priests, Christian ceremonies being allowed again as churches closed being opened.
After the war the communists started to persecute again.
Richard Paulsen says
My correction: Bages of rank made of gold, not the uniforms.
Walter Sieruk says
Pope Francis needs a reality check . For just denying that there is a problem doesn’t make the problem go away. It this specific case doesn’t make the problem less deadly. Fora number of Muslims are inspired to engage in the violence and mass murders of what is accurately termed TERRORISM for the advancement of Islam. The inspiration and Islamic drive towards violence is based on Islam’s Quran. As found in ,for example Sura 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47;4. Therefore a Muslim who engages in Islamic terrorism is a Muslim terrorist.
Moreover, pope Francis denial that there really are Muslim terrorists shows that he must have embraced the PC modern “culture.” This PC modern “culture” or better termed idea is that when it comes to Islamic terrorism there are many people who are afraid to call it what it is. That’s odd because no one is afraid to call a person who engages in violence for anarchy and “anarchist terrorist”. Nor are people afraid to call a Marxist who engages in violence for the ideology of communism a “Communist terrorist.” Likewise, a person who commits violence for Environmentalism an “Environmentalist terrorists. “Nevertheless, when it comes to a Muslim terrorist who engages in deadly violence because of the theology and ideology of Islam, many people fear to call that person an “Muslim terrorists.”

Mark A says
I’m Catholic and I’m dismayed over Pope Francis’ denial of the very real threat, and existence, of Islamic terrorism.
If Pope Francis actually said what is reported in this article, his ideas about Islam are delusional.
As just one example, ISIS has clearly stated its intention of beheading Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square.
There are over 1400 years of Islamic terrorism from which to select evidence to counter Pope Francis’ views on this, not to mention a Koran full of exhortations to violence.
Does Pope Francis not read history or the Koran? He should realize that many of the people in the pews, like me, do read both, and we know this statement is, how shall we say……”inaccurate”. statementhisthey
Carolyne says
Well he did say if the Koran is “Properly” read. I guess that means an edition with all of the violence removed.
Joe McDonald says
If ISIS beheaded dope Francis in St. Peter’s Square, as a devout Catholic, I would pray to my Lord Jesus Christ to forgive them, “they know not what they do”, haha!
They would be repairing the Church!!!
He will be tormented for eternity by the souls of the “mothers” of aborted unborn babies who he promised forgiveness to.
Sickening.
Truly sickening the vapid & vacuous evil that spews from this cowards rotted mouth.
Jesus forgive me please for expressing my venomous hatred of hypocracy.

I just can’t understand why the Catholic Church is still allowing around!

“I just can’t understand why the Catholic Church is still allowing around!”
First, you have to understand that Benedict was a mistake. Francis is not.
It isn’t Francis, it is the church.
John A. Marre says
He is wrong. He maybe trying to make nice with the Muslims, but it won’t work. They hate him and us.
Angemon says
I think that’s exactly what he meant – he was trying to disassociate terrorism from religion – because he then goes to say:
Christian saints and holy men are mostly people who refused to renege their faith and paid their refusal with their lives. Like Pam Geller said, “if islam were a religion of peace muslim extremists would be extremely peaceful”.
Lol! “Equal opportunities”? Considering his previously expressed stances, that sounds like code for “equality of outcome”. You want equality of opportunities? Fine – start by asserting that nation-states need to enforce their borders, pick who they let in and punish those who enter the country illegally, because if not, criminals – and that’s what “illegal migrants” are, by definition – are getting preferential treatment over honest people.
Mr. Bigcockston says
Francis has gone full retard. All religions are equally dangerous and stupid. Hence he feels that by defending Islam, he’s also defending Judaism and Christianity.
Michael Poulin says
Any Catholic with a brain cell left in his head must realize the “pope” is in full moron mode….what an embarrassment…so glad I left the Vatican II religion.
John says
I do NOT hate anyone, especially not for being of any particular religion. That said, the Muslim ideology most certainly does NOT preach peace, but rather, all too often, just the opposite. I do not wish anyone from any particular faith any ill will, and expect for them not to harbor, or seek any against myself or others either. FACT is, today, not all, but MOST terrorists in the world, profess to wreak the havoc that they do, all in the name of Allah, it is what it is … The original Christian Church was/is the Universal Catholic Church, and history also tells us, whom and what belief system, destroyed its original churches. The Pope’s address, with all due respect, is seemingly at odds, with many of his predecessors:https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2016/03/02/the-church-and-islam-3/
Proud Anti-Islam says
The pope is truly a real phony and fake. All popes have been phonies and fakes until now.
Susan says
Really? “All popes have been phonies and fakes.” LOL Educate yourself, please! Learn something about all the people you just insulted – of whom you actually obviously know little to nothing. Many popes have been a positive, generous, inspiring gift to the world. But definitely not the current one..
Eric Jones says
Pope Francis does not exist.

Patrick James says
I wonder if that clown remembers what he was doing on 12 May 2013. He was canonising the martyrs of Otranto, who were killed by Muslims for refusing to give up their faith in Christ. I suppose he figures they must have been killed for some other reason as Islam does not involve violence.
I wonder if he has access to Wikipedia. He could look this up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Otranto
gravenimage says
Pope Francis has also called the French priest beheaded by Jihadists a Martyr–he does not appear to acknowledge that it was pious Muslims who martyred him, though…
Dan King says
Has he been pope for 3 and 1/2 years?
More Ham Ed says
“and not all Muslims are terrorists”
Not all muslims (lowercase be upon them) are terr’ ists but all terrorists seem to be MUSLIM.
At least, it’s a 1000 to 1 ratio. 2000 deadly ISLAMIC terror attacks for every 1 “other” category.
30333 deadly ISLAMIC terror attacks since 9/11.
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com
Pong says
People, who called the pope “stupid, naive uneducated and so on” are very naive themselve. They don’t want to see reality of policies dominating the catholic church.
Election of Benedict was a mistake by the cardinals, it was against the policies of the church.
Francis is continuing the policies of J.P. II. Those policies are an appeasement of islam and collusion with leftists. Those, who think the next pope will be any different are lying to themselves. It isn’t just the pope. All top of the church clerics are much the same. They will not make the same mistake, as they did with electing Benedict.
The church is not a democratic institution. Ordinary catholics cannot vote. The choice for a catholic is to leave the church and save his saul, or reject decency and continue to support the criminals, who run the so called church.
Mark Berlinger says
Is the Pope a communist?
On Friday Bergoglio again denied of the existence of Christian, Jewish or, wait for it—Islamic terrorism. He blames violence on economic conditions. But of course he recognizes the existence of global warming. This was the same message he sent to the Meeting of Popular Movements in Modesto. The movement includes the Saul Alinski inspired Pacific Institute for Community Organization, an open borders organization funded by George Soros. The Pope’s politics are definitely socialist. Lenin said the goal of socialism is communism. So the answer to the question is yes.
Arthur says
Narcissism certainly clouds judgement. But, hey, if you’re perfect enough to be named Pope, then surely your thoughts are inspired, right? Of course, I’m sure he claims the perfect combination of imperfections.
Isn’t it insulting to those in poverty to say that they are morally weaker (more apt to become violent terrorists)? But, I suppose a narcissist would consider this appropriate pity for the inferior masses. Not to mention Biblical stories to the contrary.
Ali Bey says
Caro Ché Bergoglio: Pontifical stupidity and hypocresy exists.
Joe Speziale says
So,this pope, whose mental stability and fitness we have all long questioned (ex. Dec 7, 2016, “appetite for fake news is like wanting to eat feces” verbatim), shows he has a serious, profound reality contact problem (“There is no Muslim terrorism..”).
And they call Trump deranged.
Carolyne says
The Pope does not exist, either. Just a silly old man.

“What he [P Francis] apparently meant.’
Uh-uh: This was a prepared text, a letter to this international group of NGO/community organizer groups: He said exactly what he meant, and refused to qualify it.
..
He has said on several other occasions he is scared of “fundamentalist” (traditional Catholic/Christian) believers, not of Muslims.
,,
He believes there is no Muslim terrorism and Jihadwatch.org and Robt Spencer are just fakes.
…
Who is the fake here?
