Yes, we need positive stories. That will fix everything. If people will just stop reporting about Muslim migrant crimes and rapes, and jihad terror attacks, and all the rest, then those racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic Europeans will stop worrying and love the Muslim migrant influx, and all will be well and all manner of thing will be well.
Except for one thing. Those crimes and rapes and jihad terror attacks will keep on happening, and Europeans will be in full surrender mode, because any resistance is stigmatized as racist and “Islamophobic.”

“Vatican Seeks to ‘Change the Narrative’ on Immigration by Emphasizing the Positive,” by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, March 11, 2018 (thanks to David):
The Vatican is looking to change people’s perspective on mass migration by highlighting positive stories to replace the negative accounts that dominate the media.
Jesuit Father Michael Czerny, the co-secretary of the Vatican’s department for migrants and refugees, said that the Church needs to “change the narrative” on immigration, because “the public view is negative” in an address to members of the International Catholic Migration Commission on March 7.
“We need positive stories,” Czerny said, in order to help people appreciate the benefits of migration instead of always focusing on its problems.
As Breitbart News has reported, “Migrant” was the most commonly used word in Italian newspaper headlines during the year 2017, and most of the stories dealt with the arrivals of thousands of migrants into Italy from North Africa, migrant violence and crimes, and political debates regarding how to address Italy’s migrant crisis.
The pro-immigration, George Soros-funded lobby group Carta di Roma lamented that the word “migrant” appeared 2,455 times in headlines, stoking people’s fears of immigration when they should be embracing it. The group also inadvertently noted that the crime rate has fallen off significantly as the number of immigrant arrivals has dropped.
The group has been working to purge journalistic language of all references to migrants that could carry a negative connotation, including such terms as “illegal immigrants.”
In 2017, the Carta di Roma proposed a list of taboo terms related to immigration that should be eliminated from news reporting, including expressions that underscore the ethnicity of certain migrant groups or their illegal status. Terms like “clandestini” (clandestine migrants), “zingari” (gypsies), “nomadi” (nomads), “extracomunitari” (those coming from outside the European Union) and others like them are marked for expurgation.
Even precise terms such as “Albanian,” “Maghrebi” and “Chinese” should be excluded from news reports, the association contends, because today, such terms “are no longer neutral.” The group also insists that the ethnic origin of perpetrators of crimes should not be mentioned in news stories so as not to create an association of malfeasance with migrants.
“Islamic extremists” should simply be referred to as “extremists,” their guide declares, to avoid stirring up prejudice against Muslims.
Speaking with the Catholic News Agency this week, Father Czerny said that there is a natural tendency to “scapegoat” migrants and people who are different from us, especially when we are suffering political, social and economic unrest.
The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants and refugees, who have “enormously enriched” modern societies, Czerny contends, but reflects “a misplaced disappointment with our leaders.”
Migrants and refugees “are being scapegoated,” he said. “So, I think by telling the truth and by telling positive stories, that’s how I hope we can reverse that narrative.”…

Vatican seeks to “change the narrative” on immigration: “we need positive stories”
………………..
Let’s have some positive stories on the Nazis, too–and maybe Stalin and Pol Pot.
That will mean that the bad stories don’t really count, right?
Wellington says
Seconded, gravenimage.
But what is really extra sad and useless in all of this is that no sensible person should expect things from Nazis, a Stalin type, a Pol Pot type, et al. But, and assuming one is imbued with a love of freedom and a good general knowledge of Western Civilization, one certainly should expect more from the Vatican than is occurring at present. Far more.
And thus herein lies a great tragedy in our time. Few greater.
mortimer says
Agreeing with GI. Let’s tell POSITIVE STORIES ABOUT HITLER, POL POT and STALIN while we’re at it. Let’s be DELUSIONAL.
Pope Frank is the LEADER OF THE OSTRICH BRIGADE.
mortimer says
MIGRATION (hegira) is the POSITIVE SIDE of Islam… in hegira, Muslims invade as IMMIGRANTS or as REFUGEES as they did in YATHRIB,
Within a few years of MIGRATING to Yathrib (a predominantly Jewish town), Mohammed had MURDERED, ROBBED, RAPED and ENSLAVED all the Jews in Yathrib.
He changed the name of Yathrib to MEDINA (which means ‘CAPITAL CITY’).
Medina was the capital of WHAT? IT WAS THE CAPITAL OF THE ARAB EMPIRE.

The Vatican is a disgrace. It seems to be doing all it can to destroy the Catholic faith, and now all Christians. Yes, we do need positive stories about immigrants. Does anyone know any? Won’t the Muslim immigrants please give us at least one!

Ray Jarman says
The motion carried. Throw them all out. Everyone has is speaking in unison and if only our leaders would listen.
Brendan Cleary says
Quite. In order to reinforce the message, the Pope has promised to settle 10,000 migrants into the Vatican and to encourage the building of 3 mosques to cater for their religious needs. Yes, you’re right, I just made that up!
Richard says
Sadly, the way things are going, I would believe it of Pope Francis. I suppose you know they gave the Muslims back their battle flag the Church won at the Battle of Lepanto. I guess we should have welcomed them and bowed our heads so they could chop them off.

Right on…..it seems that the Vatican just can’t help its trap shut….
Now I don’t know how closely the Catholics follow their leader and I DO know what the leader of Christianity says about “the stranger at the gate” but He also gave us power to discern between the “stranger at the gate” and “the enemy at the gate” however He does tell us to love our enemies but I also believe that should I step out in front of an oncoming vehicle, on purpose, that He isn’t going to save me because I was so stupid in doing so.
So why is the world so determined to commit suicide?????
We are sleeping with “the enemy at the gate” and I don’t think God intended for that to happen.

There are no words to explain that the people of the the faith are going to buy into the Vatican’s BS….listen to the video on the “Child Bride” in the bottom of this page. See if you can get your head wrapped around that.

The most positive story I have ever heard:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16).
Pass it on, Father.
Wellington says
But of course, as I know you know, CES, Islam denies 3:16 and from there it’s all downhill for Christians (and, for sundry other reasons, everyone else but a Muzzie).
D’ya think Father Czerny knows any of this? Either he does, in which case he is an active traitor to his faith, or he doesn’t, in which case such inexcusable, willful ignorance of Islam some sixteen years after 9/11 functions as an equally traitorous (and stupid) action.
A devout and informed Christian can admire and respect such religions as Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, certainly Zoroastrianism (which first developed the concept of a Last Judgement and a Savior {Saoshyant}), et al., while still respectfully disagreeing with such faiths on the nature of ultimate reality, but for a Christian to respect Islam makes no sense at all. None.
It cannot be defended. One knows this or should know it. No exceptions. None.
CogitoErgoSum says
I think Father Czerny thinks what he is told to think by someone above him who prefers not to think about any of the things we think.
Christ called upon His followers to spread Christianity. I think bringing hoards of Muslims into the lands in which Christianity is already on the decline is doing the opposite of what Christ wanted.
The Pope worries too much about the physical desires of the people and neglects their spiritual needs. Yes, traitor is a word that comes to mind ……. and so does the word fool.
mortimer says
Father Czerny and Pope Frank are WITHOUT EXCUSE not to know ISLAMIC DOCTRINES (Al Walaa wal Baraa, taqiyya, hegira, misogyny, Dhimmitude).
ALL the information is now on the internet.
HATRED OF KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’ (al-BARAA) is a NORMATIVE and ‘ESSENTIAL’ doctrine in Islam (usul ud-deen) and all Muslims are thus REQUIRED TO HATE and be HOSTILE to dirty disbelieving kafirs.
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
Stacy Girl says
Dope Francis certainly doesn’t think of the victims’ physical well being.
Wellington says
Well, CES, if what you wrote in your first sentence is true, then the Catholic Church is in deep shit right now since Father Czerny is a pretty high-up figure in the Vatican in his own right.
When the Vatican is against Western Civilization (if so, a new and stunning low for the Vatican even with any previous faults), you know the West is in profound trouble————-which it is.
CogitoErgoSum says
Wellington, I’m not sure the Vatican is against Western Civilization right now as much as it is against the truth. Instead of telling the press what words to use or not to use it should be telling the press simply to tell the TRUTH …….. the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH. Christ did say that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He did say that the Truth shall set you free. He did say the reason He came into the world was to bear witness to the truth. Anyone who believes the words of Christ should not be afraid of the truth.
And Mortimer, yes, the Pope and the leadership of the Church definitely need to learn about Islam and they must not be afraid to tell the TRUTH about the differences between the Muslim god, Allah, and the God that is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Concealing the truth in this matter is to conceal Christ. If Islam lives by the sword then it will die by the sword and the sword that defeats Islam should and MUST be the TRUTH.

Here’s more stupidity:
“Fr. Czerny: Fear has no place in dealing with refugees”
https://www.catholicregister.org/features/featureseries/item/24072-fr-czerny-fear-has-no-place-in-dealing-with-refugees
Yeah–I’m sure he would have said the same thing about the invading barbarian Huns…
Now he is claiming that we should not even be allowed to fear those who are bent on raping and murdering us.
He also not allowing migrants to flood in with exploiting or enslaving them. Just grotesque false moral equivalence.
Among other ludicrous things, he says this:
“Yet some Canadians, as well as citizens from other well-developed countries, remain anxious. People can be afraid of what the future might bring — afraid of losing their jobs, of losing their identity, of being harmed by the stranger. But this is really an expression of anxiety people feel about the uncertainty in their own lives; it has nothing to do with immigration.”
This is, of course, utter bullsh*t. Muslim immigrants regularly harm those who give them sanctuary–they are as you know actually taught to do so.
Pretending that these fears are imaginary and a moral failing on the part of the host is grotesque.
LeftisruiningCanada says
“… it has nothing to do with immigration.”
As a Canadian, i can confidently say that it does have to do with immigration, particularly with regards to members of a certain very famously peaceful religion.
Yes, it has to do with that.
Richard says
Dear CogitoErgoSum: You are certainly right about Pope Francis and Father Czerny. That is what is destroying the Church. Sadly, I pray that Pope Francis is a fool. He would have to be to not see the enormous harm he is doing. Cassandra was crazy, but she warned the Trojans against bringing Greeks into Troy. She did not tell the Trojans to open the gates wider. In the Middle Ages, the Muslims were expelled from Spain. The King did not invite others to enter. Now, why would that be? If Islam is such a great religion, why do the Muslims have to force people to enter it under the threat of death and torture? Under the Romans, over a million Catholics died under horrible tortures rather than desert their Faith. I suppose Pope Francis would say they were being judgmental.
flo says
Soon the vatican will be closed. This is because the vatican favour islam and sided with them more than Catholics. Already many Europeans, Americans are leaving Christianity! The vatican actions speed up the decline of Christianity!
thesailor says
Quite. Particularly when it is clear that Islam is not a religion at all, but simply uses such to browbeat its brainwashed serfs into submission. It is humanity’s cancer, by any definition, and it should be cut out and burnt. Or at the very least, kept ruthlessly in remission in the squalid lands of the the Middle East. Which ironically is precisely what was being done by the local despots until the West decided in its wisdom to free the Muslims from their yoke. Arab Spring, yay! Topple the despots and watch the yokels rush to create a democratic society. Hah!

“We need positive stories,” Czerny said, in order to help people appreciate the benefits of migration instead of always focusing on its problems. See something say nothing.
The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants Doublespeak.
“Islamic extremists” should simply be referred to as “extremists,” Newspeak.
Terms like “clandestini” (clandestine migrants), “zingari” (gypsies), “nomadi” (nomads), “extracomunitari” (those coming from outside the European Union) and others like them are marked for expurgation. All are Double Plus Ungood and are Thought Crimes. Room 101 for you.
Westman says
Somebody explain how the Catholic Church gets $95 Million to settle “refugees” and it doesn’t have hundreds of positive stories to tell? Are the Catholic relief workers discovering a lack of gratitude?

Lets all look on the bright side of the black plague ,small pox and the death of millions of Christians ,Hindu, and Buddhist over the last 1400 years at the hands of Islamic invaders.

The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants and refugees, who have “enormously enriched” modern societies, Czerny contend.
“Enriched” what way? Millions of people with no skills and no prospects, but enormous financial and social costs — none of which are borne by the Catholic Church, so I guess such things don’t matter.
Not a shred of evidence, just take it on faith. Sorry, not good enough.
Ed Lee says
John, your second to last sentence, “Not a shred of evidence, just take it on faith” is a very good summary of most of the New Testament.
gravenimage says
Ed, whatever your views on Christianity, Christians have indeed defended against the depredations of Islam before. This current dhimmitude–which you also find among people who are Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Agnostic, and Atheist–is not intrinsic to Christians.
Robert Spencer is himself a devout Catholic, and he is not like this.
Lydia Church says
It is interesting, I have read that on here before and have wondered as I have not seen any evidence at all of what Robert ascribes to, at least since I’ve been around on here. And he has never said anything. I am not one to assume.
But if he wishes, he is at liberty to share!
And whatever it is I am very grateful for all he is doing in the fight for truth, freedom, and democracy!
Thank you again Robert!!!

Lydia Church says
False.
There is more evidence for the history in the New Testament than all kinds of other historical books at the time combined!
Do the research.
In fact, there was one guy who set out to disprove all kinds of claims in the NT.
He did the research. He looked at scientific evidence.
When it was all said and done…
he became a devout Christian!!!
If you can take the word for it on all kinds of other history books on faith without a shred of evidence, then you’d be a fool not to believe the NT.
But folks have a right to be ignorant, I can’t stop them!
Lydia Church says
So ‘without a shred of evidence’ describes YOUR belief system, not that of Christianity!
Matt says
I doubt Jesus would have found such support among his followers if he sought to “change the narrative” around the Pharisees or his Roman overlords and went on a miraculous public relations campaign.
Gjallarhornet says
The Church is now adopting the left’s preferred strategy: if reality becomes unbearable, change the definition of what constitutes ‘reality’. They seem to believe this will make the problems go away. Example: here we have a problem with second generation immigrants committing crimes. The hard left insist that these criminals are NOT to be branded ‘immigrants’ under any circumstances. The criminals are always to be called nothing but ‘natives’ (meaning ‘the same as the people who have lived in the country for generations). Once *that *trick is pulled – a huge bulk of the ‘immigrant crimes’ will suddenly vanish from the statistics. The link between immigration and crime will simply not be there anymore, so nobody can find a connection anyway, if they start searching for answers.
This is how the left thinks. The church now follows suit.
Next level for the left is violence and censorship, which they excel in already. Wonder if the church sees that at the next logical step for themselves as well?

Yes they are different from us ,4 wives , marrying 9 year old girls to 50 year old men , honor killings , child abuse ,FGM , rape grooming gangs , massive welfare fraud , weekly terror attacks have become part of living in major European cities {the good Moslem Mayor of London told us so}. But look at all the wonderful ethic places to eat ! The only people being “scapegoat” are the non Moslems who speak out against this insane culture and physical suicide of the Western way of life.
RCCA says
This is the word from the Vatican no less, clearly a political organization whose aim is to maintain power by controlling people. In the modern age that’s done by controlling what people think.
If religion wants to create peace, as it says it does, it really should stay out of politics and teach that good people can disagree and have different opinions on political matters. The Catholic Church seems determined to alienate the native Christian population. Bizarre.
How many acts of violence are there by Muslims against Christians versus the number of acts of violence there are by Christians against Muslims? The church aught to protecting Christians, imo.

He can take his bride money now to settle the “refugees” in ,at the cost of the lost of millions of Christians that will die or be converted by the sword in the near future to Islam.

It is naïve to bring in people who by their religion will not rest until they have destroy our way of life . They have a 1400 year history of it .Jesus and Mary were born Jews the Islamics feel that Jews and Christians are the worst of creatures its what their Holy Books says. The United States government is a man made system, so is the Chinese government ,both have leaders the influence the world ,you are saying we should let the Pope slide on his statement that the Catholic church should commit suicide to keep the peace with savages who want to destroy its people? We should all submit keep our mouths shut we might upset the Moslems , let them enslaving us ,sucking our resources away ,killing our way of life? All forms of government ,all laws ,all trade agreements , all written language ,are manmade .All freedom over time has been built up by these things should we throw away all these truths to not hurt the “feelings” of these Islamic savages?

WPM, I don’t wish to upset anyone but Hitler was not elected in 1933 as he never came close to winning a plurality in the Bundestag. Von Hindenburg placed him in the seat of the Kanzler thinking he could control the monster. Afterwards, there was no turning back since the military leaders signed oaths to him and he could have cared not have cared less about what people thought, especially the Jews. There was no realistic options for them except to attempt to escape to any other continent. Also a little trivia is that only Haiti openly permitted their immigration and that FDR permitted only one thousand Jews to come to America and then he put them in a concentration like camp in upper state New York. I learned this from a Bill Moyers program on PBS which is not exactly a bastion of conservatism.
Rick says
If we want to change narrative on immigration the ” authorities” and MSM must clearly distinguish the good and bad behaviour of immigrants for the Islamic group and the non-Islamic people. I suspect that would quickly and clearly show that immigration is good ONLY if it encourages the non-Islamic people to come here.
dumbledoresarmy says
Exactly.
The most pathetically, fervently-grateful immigrants are the non-Muslims who have managed to escape from Muslim oppression.
Copts, Syriac Christians, Pakistani Christians, and here in Australia not a few persons of Chinese or Indian ethnicity and non-Islamic faith (mostly Christian; some Buddhist, some Confucian, some Hindu) who have ‘voted with their feet’ and sensibly gotten themselves and their families the hell out of rapidly-Islamising Malaysia and Indonesia… getting out while the going is good.
We the Islamoinformed need to pile on the pressure: letters, emails, phonecalls – *demanding* two things: that immigration of identifiable Muslims be STOPPED, ASAP, because… **got Muslims, got jihad**… and at the same time, stating plainly that we are happy to admit bona fide non-Muslim fugitives from Muslim oppression and violence. That we don’t want Muslims from Egypt or Syria or Iraq but that we ARE willing and happy to admit bona fide properly-identified and vouched for *non-Muslims*, such as Copts from Egypt and Syriac Christians (with some of Armenian ethnicity) from Syria and Iraq. And speaking as an Aussie – I have to tell my pollies that although I am happy to accept Buddhist and Christian Chin and Karen refugees from Myanmar, I do NOT want *even one* of the so-called ‘Rohingya’ Muslims. The Chin and Karen Christians and Buddhists will integrate and contribute; the ‘rohingya’, like every other variety of mohammedan, will NOT and WILL in future plot and attempt to carry out mass-murderous mayhem.
In Australia the murder of Curtis Cheng by a young Muslim thug shows the whole situation up, perfectly. A completely-assimilated, peaceful, law-abiding (police accountant!), Christian Chinese-Aussie was butchered in broad daylight by a young Mohammedan ghazi raider born to Muslim immigrant-invaders. In a very similar incident not long ago a Somali Muslim – originally admitted here as a ‘refugee’, if I recall correctly – in the course of setting up what he intended to be an ambush for infidel Aussie police, cold-bloodedly murdered … an immigrant Chinese-Australian, who was working as the concierge for an apartment block. Non-Muslim immigrants – hardworking, law-abiding, willing to integrate and contribute – BUTCHERED by the damn mohammedan imperialists who have NO intention of either integrating or contributing but intend, rather, to dominate and destroy.
Mary Fran says
The only “positive stories” we need about these immigrants are those that proclaim that they are on their way back to their own homes.
Mockingjay says

Karen says
How much different the “narrative” might have been, if 1) the immigrants, most of them young, unaccompanied men, had entered legally, instead of storming the gates, 2) the ruling elites had had discussions with their citizenry about impacts, pros and cons, etc., instead of making a one-sided decision. Instead, the mass migration into Europe of the last several years can only be described as forced entry facilitated by the ruling class.
AleX says
It is ‘forced entry’, as long as no referendum was held.
No western representatives have ever asked their constituency if they agree on massive injection of foreign members into society and no sociological study was ever envisaged.
There is a long term damage brought into the Western nations by them present leaders for which a new Nüremberg war trial should be put in place.

Let’s test if he believes what he’s saying.

They should do it without bullet proof vests or behind bullet proof glass, like the apostles and let’s see if they bring us back some good news stories.
dumbledoresarmy says
The positive stories can be found, yes.. IF one talks to the few *Christian* refugees – refugees from Jihad – who have been admitted into Western countries. Iraqi Christians, Syrian Christians, Coptic Christians… overwhelmingly they are happy, grateful, working hard and integrating into their host countries. They’re not whining and complaining and plotting mayhem, as waaay too many of the Muslims are already doing.

Lacking ready access to ricin-tipped umbrellas, plutonium-tea, nerve-agents etc, Mr Bellingham discovered that if a few grammes of a toxic heavy metal – such as lead – was suddenly introduced into the body politic with sufficient velocity, death would follow shortly afterwards, and in proof of his ingenious theory, Spencer Perceval subsequently became best known to his own and future generations as “The Only British Prime Minister To Be Assassinated So Far, Worse Luck”.
Whether the enterprising Mr Bellingham has a descendant carrying on the family-trade to this day, I do not know, but it occurs to me that introducing the putative Mr Bellingham Junior to Theresa May may at last allow an historic injustice to be remedied.
Mrs May’s only claim to public recognition has for too long been merely as “The Second British Woman Prime Minister”, or “That Woman Who Does Everything She’s Told By Angela Merkel”, but with her bold imprisonment of Britain First leaders Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen for trying to save teenage girls from being raped in kebab-shops, brave banning from the UK of dangerous free-speech advocates Martin Sellner, Brittanny Pettibone, and Lauren Southern, and outstanding burying of the news of mass-rape and murder in Telford, she has surely has earned the right to strike a blow for equality, and enter the history books with immediate effect as “The First Female British Prime Minister To Be Assassinated To Widespread Rejoicing”.
I offer this merely as a suggestion, but I feel that it is not entirely without merit.

Phil, I am *no* fan of this pontiff, and I consider many of his views quite dangerous.
But I *do not* want to see him murdered by a Jihadist. Not only would this be horrifying in and of itself, but can you imagine how emboldened Muslims would be if they took out the most influential Infidel religious leader in the world? I shudder to think…
StellaSaidSo says
Good post, Phil! Of course, no jihadist in his right mind (now there’s a novel idea) would top Theresa the Appeaser – she is far too good a friend to the Islamist cause. But the ‘widespread rejoicing’ bit is entirely plausible.
Marco says
Is the Vatican making money off these invaders some way?
Mockingjay says
You can bet on it.
StellaSaidSo says
It is making a fortune out of it, Marco. Millions. To ‘assist with re-settlement’. A master-stroke on the part of the UN, which, in making generous payments to churches, simultaneously purchases co-operation at the local level, and paralyses criticism.
Lucretius says
It’s astonishing how open the Vatican is about promulgating what is essentially a dictionary of Newspeak, and urging members of the news media to play the part of workers in the Ministry of Truth. One would of think that the Vatican and Soros’s Carta di Roma organization would only push such a program behind closed doors to complicit media elites instead of publicly blabbing the kitchen details of what ingredients will be added to the news, and what simply can’t be said anymore. Yet they seem to be convinced that they are playing the part of good shepherds, and that the people will appreciate being treated as sheep.
I suppose we should be thankful that they are so self infatuated that they can’t be bothered to hide from patriots evidence of planned manipulation.

Here’s a story I’m sure the Vatican is happy to share:

Andrew says
I see some irony here. on two fronts. Being Czech, I can say the word “Czerny” literally translates to the shade black – also the the primary shade of the ISIS flag. In Czech a “czernosh” (spelled like pronounced) is a black man.
Also let them look for the “good stories”. Some proper objective journalism will find those whom escaped the Islamic theocracy. I think we can say with conviction that Islam has crossed the line from a religion (as it exists in our democracies) to a political movement in every example of it’s existance. Therefore the Vatican should not be attempting to use it’s religious influence to essentially sabotage the state. Whats next? more pedophilia? I suppose the Vatican and Islamic theocrats would form a formidable alliance in this regard.
One thing I don’t get as an athiest turned agnostic, is why are magor religions (that I’m aware of) so obsessed with never losing there identity…ie, dying. Why do they want to live forever on some nice clouds? or in some paradise where they can commit disgusting acts for eternity? To me life already is heaven. Knowing that when I die it will be the same to my concsious self as before I was born gives life so much more meaning.
Mockingjay says
– Not even the Italians care anymore about what “the Vatican” thinks – as evidenced in the last elections.
Berengaria says
Here is another Bit of wisdom from Pope Francis,The Fickle, “SOCIAL GOSPEL”. No Explanation was given, but it appears to be in tune with “SOCIAL JUSTICE”.
The Vatican expelled most of the Conservative Prelates, & now, is inventing a whole “New Religion”. Father Czerny, SJ, seems to be the Mouthpiece of this PC Business, called the Vatican!
Cheer Bear Girl says
There is no point in hiding the truth from the public. Even though I am an American I know what is going on in Europe and I don’t want it here. We also have those stinking Migrants here too. The Vatican might as well be on the side of the people and not the oppressors. They have enough enemies why make more.
Terry Gain says
I regard this story as a somewhat positive development. Solving a problem is a 3 step process. The first step is to recognize that there is a problem The second step is to understand the problem. The third step is to do something about the problem.
The Catholic Church has now finally taken the first step under this Pope. It is of course unbelievable that it has taken this long, but the Church Is now in the control of leftists who are experts at getting everthing wrong. The Catholic Church will not move to the next step until it gets a new Pope, a conservative one.
gravenimage says
I wish I could see this whitewash of evil as a good thing, Terry…
Terry Gain says
I have a talent for thinking outside the box. Edward De Bono was a great help to me in my legal career. This is the first indication from the Catholic Church that it recognizes that there is a problem. Last week’s election in Italy has sent them a message. It is too much to expect an immediate come down but it will come when their attempted new narrative fails, as I optimistically predict it will. The Church is going to get blowback.
StellaSaidSo says
I agree, Terry. This is a desperate attempt by the Vatican at playing ‘catch up’ with public opinion, without actually admitting that they made a monumental error of judgement in assuming that their ‘side’ would win the Italian election.
Lydia Church says
“The Vatican is looking to change people’s perspective on mass migration by highlighting positive stories to replace the negative accounts that dominate the media.”
Translation: We have only negative stories and no positive ones. Therefore we will cover up the negative stories and keep them hidden. We will also fabricate positive stories and circulate them. All for…. you know…. morale.
” “Islamic extremists” should simply be referred to as “extremists,” their guide declares, to avoid stirring up prejudice against Muslims.”
Translation: We don’t really want you to know how many terrorist attacks are from muslims. In fact, we’d rather you think they were from right wing extremists… so we may be getting our eraser and correction fluid out… just to…. you know…. change the ‘narrative.’
(Remember how I was saying they want to pack the word ‘extremist’ with negative meaning, and then come after us for being ‘right wing extremists’? There is nothing inherently evil about the word ‘extremist.’ You can be extremely good too!)
“The prevalent negative narrative on the migration issue has nothing to do with migrants and refugees, who have “enormously enriched” modern societies, Czerny contends, but reflects “a misplaced disappointment with our leaders.” ”
Translation: This is the biggest load of crap you can swallow yet. All that negative news, well… it’s not really ‘real’ news. In fact, you have only received good and blessing from the migrant arrival, and their 3rd world barbaric ways have only ‘enormously enriched’ your modern society (hypnosis effort inserted here: delete all previous memory when you open your eyes…) and any disappointment and discontent with your leaders is simply…. er…. misplaced! They are helping you by opening the floodgates for migrant invasion!
“Migrants and refugees “are being scapegoated,” he said. “So, I think by telling the truth and by telling positive stories, that’s how I hope we can reverse that narrative.”…”
Translation: We have to lie so that the lie will look true and the truth will look like lies. We will attempt to achieve this by any means at our disposal.

Joseph Goebbels: (nazi propaganda minister)

On the Jewish Question
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Sound familiar?
Lydia Church says
In stark contrast:
“Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” ”

Here’s something positive: Italy’s new government is taking a stricter line on Muslim immigration. You’re welcome.
FYI says
Yes, we could certainly do with more positive stories…
…..from the Vatican..
Like..
Catholic bishops FINALLY decide to preach the Gospel.. after thousands of years of failing to properly do so,Mr Bergolio{or “francis” as he cunningly calls himself in order to make the naïve think he is somehow similar to St Francis..} abandons his heretical teachings and admits that the islamic koranic allah is not the same as the Judeo-Christian,Biblical,God,the wealthy and worldly fraudulently pious Opus dei mafia are brought into the light{aggh,aggh oh how it burns!},The multi-billion dollar Vatican enterprise is examined,the continually scandalized and demoralized catholics seek an explanation for Mr ratzingers’s disgraceful decision to abandon his flock,the promotion of Mr Bergolio’s buddies to senior posts in the RCC is looked at,all pedo-protecting senior clergy(like the late Cardinal Bernard Law{sbuh},protected by the Vatican ,Ratzinger and Bergolio) are brought to justice..and jailed..
That would be something positive alright.I.m sure that’s what the Jesuit Czerny must mean,as a devoted subject of his follow Jesuit,the heretical,Catholic-betraying,pseudochristian “pope” Mr Bergolio.
If francis wants to help immigrants, surely he can ask those fraudulently pious,whited sepulchres among his worldly Christ-betraying “catholic” Cardinals to abandon their comfortable Vatican apartments and give them as accommodation to refugees.
I’m sure the Princes of the Church won’t mind at all..
{If you are a Catholic and fed-up with the treachery and betrayal of the Church Authorities,Join the club!
You should, if possible keep your faith(what remains of it)but you need not trust the clergymen,Rome nor Mr Bergolio.
There are also Traditionalist Catholics who keep the faith,unlike Rome.That is an option.
Catholics have KNOWN about the men in Rome for quite some time{since Fatima 1917 etc}:the ecclesiastical freemasonry,the watering down of the faith,the Mass becoming the mass,the smugly pious and worldly Opus Dei(..it’s an insider joke to those who know about Fatima 1917 because its not actually the work of God …like Cosa Nostra…is a name for something else),”run away” Ratzinger(ben xvi).
Pope John Paul 2,the last true Pope actually stayed faithful to his mission to the end,(unlike runaway Ratzinger).
There is a luciferian Smoke and mirrors show at work in Rome…which will reach a climax at some point.
After the death of JP2,these churchmen came to the fore:that’s what Paul Vi was saying when he meant “the smoke of satan” had infiltrated the RCC.
And it is a clever ploy of the men in Rome to canonise Paul VI(….to distract from the reality of what he had warned about and what is going on right now … )by surrounding themselves with a screen of piety!!}
The luciferians are cunning but they cannot outsmart God who knows their doomed plans!

Bro. Nick Nicholas says
Pope Francis and the Jesuit {Ignatian} hierarchy of Roman Catholicism are very clearly showing their true malevolent political agenda by their very deliberate use of ‘Verbal Semantics’ {aka Taqiyaa}
They are intentionally using the followers of Mohammedanism {aka Islam} as one of their numerous pawns – to destroy from within the last vestiges of the Christian foundational spiritual strength and moral integrity of the European – and ALL other ‘Christian Nations’ – including ‘Amerika’ – AND “ISRAEL”
– Exactly as it is Biblically Prophetically WARNED in the Tanakh (Old Testament) Daniel 8:23-25 [AV] :
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
And his power shall be mighty,
BUT NOT BY HIS OWN POWER:
and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise,
AND SHALL DESTROY THE MIGHTY and THE HOLY PEOPLE.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart,
AND BY PEACE SHALL DESTROY MANY:
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
– And in the New Testament – in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 [AV] “it is written”:
“For when they shall say, PEACE AND SAFETY;
THEN sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”
.

Hogdude says
Father, you need to step down to the level of the real world. Islam has made another return from the 7th century and is making another run at regaining what they consider as their place in the world. They use murder and mayhem instead of love and mercy as their weapons. Wake up and remember that sometimes Christians must defend themselves. Be on the right side of history for not only Jesus Christ but all Christians.
