As Jihad Watch reported Saturday, “The U.S. Catholic bishops submitted a brief to the Supreme Court declaring that President Donald Trump’s ban on migration from five Muslim countries was ‘blatant religious discrimination.'”
Is it really?
And do the U.S. Catholic bishops feel any obligation to support measures that would protect Americans from jihad attacks? Apparently not. The message that the bishops are sending to Americans is simple: drop dead. The U.S. Catholic bishops appear to be absolutely unconcerned about the following facts: Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey; Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, in September 2016 murdered five people in a mall in Burlington, Washington; Dahir Adan, another Somali Muslim migrant, in October 2016 stabbed mall shoppers in St. Cloud while screaming “Allahu akbar”; and Abdul Razak Artan, yet another Somali Muslim migrant, in November 2016 injured nine people with car and knife attacks at Ohio State University. 72 jihad terrorists have come to the U.S. from the countries listed in Trump’s initial immigration ban.
What’s more, all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. On May 10, 2016, Patrick Calvar, the head of France’s DGSI internal intelligence agency, said that the Islamic State was using migrant routes through the Balkans to get jihadis into Europe.
The bishops have never expressed any concern about any of this. They are completely in line with Pope Francis, who has claimed risibly that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” This has become a superdogma in the Catholic Church: if you don’t believe that Islam is a Religion of Peace, you will be ruthlessly harassed and silenced by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the hierarchy elsewhere as well. The bishops of the Catholic Church are much more concerned that you believe that Islam is a religion of peace than that you believe in, say, the Nicene Creed. And so what possible reason could there be to be concerned about these “refugees”? It’s a religion of peace!
The bishops, of course, have 91 million reasons — indeed, 534 million reasons — to turn against the truth and disregard the safety and security of the American people: “In the Fiscal Year 2016, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) received more than $91 million in government funding for refugee resettlement. Over the past nine years, the USCCB has received a total of $534,788,660 in taxpayer dollars for refugee resettlement programs.”
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
It was not always thus. For centuries, in fact, as I detail in my forthcoming book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the Catholic Church was at the forefront of efforts to resist jihad aggression in Europe. In it, you’ll discover:
- The Pope who was a true precursor of Pope Francis: he was harshly criticized by the Romans for failing to keep them safe from jihad attacks;
- The Pope who answered a Byzantine Emperor’s call for help against the jihadis not by scolding him about how Islam was peaceful, but by calling on the rulers of Europe to send troops;
- The Medieval Pope who called Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, a “son of perdition,” and called for Christians to unite against the advancing jihad;
- What happened when a Mongol ruler sent an emissary across Central Asia and into Europe to meet the Pope and seek an alliance with the Christians against the forces of jihad;
- The Pope who haughtily refused to come to the aid of the Christian Byzantine Empire when it was mortally threatened by jihadis, because of doctrinal differences;
- The Pope who took a solemn oath at his consecration to “extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet”;
- The Pope who touched off worldwide Muslim riots by noting that “God is not pleased by blood”;
- Much more.

These bishops have not studied the Islamic primary texts. The are “BLIND GUIDES” as Robert Spencer has correctly stated many times.
American Roman Catholics have no choice, then, but to send their offerings to clergy that understand the JIHAD THREAT and HOW SERIOUS it is.
IF WE DO NOT RESIST JIHAD, THE JIHAD WILL DESTROY ALL CHRISTIANS.

In order to understand that weakness, you need to understand Modernism, a heresy condemned by St. Pius X in 1907, but which nevertheless infiltrated theological schools again, starting in the 1920’s and subsequently becoming widely powerful in the Church through the Vatican Council II (1962-1965). See Catholic Family News, One Peter Five, the Remnant Newspaper blogs for dissections of the same. See also Michael Davies’ “Liturgical Revolution” trilogy, Roberto de Mattei’s “The Second Vatican Council”, and Romano Amerio’s “Iota Unum” for profound explanations of this ongoing tragedy, all relying on publicly available source material. God grant you great faith and fortitude to resist this evil!
JTLiuzza says
Thanks, Ned. The Catholic Church that resisted heathen mohammedans for centuries is currently occupied by sodomites and modernists. They won’t defile her forever but in the meantime they are worse than useless. Holy Mother Church is and always will be the best defense against the scourge of islam. Right now she is stricken and the world suffers as a result. Heathen musloids on the march, sodomites trampling over everything in their path, apostasy finding a cozy home in the very Mystical Body of Christ; the Church… It will end.

Interesting commentary.
It appears that the “decline and fall” of the West is accelerating more rapidly than ever.
Key institutions have been infiltrated by “progressives” at the highest levels who now control the narrative.
The West is suffering the consequences of a jaded and immoral society. It appears that we are passengers on the Titanic, the only question remaining is “when, not if” the collision take place?

This article deals with Catholics in the USA, not Rome. Probably, most of these bishops are citizens of the USA, and the tone of this article makes is seem that they (bishops) are citizens in name only. Rather, their claim to fame is that they are “Citizens of the World,” with scant, or no allegiance to the United States of America.

This directive must have come from Pope. When Pope is in the enemy camp what will happen to Catholics? Are they just the sacrificial lambs. How Jesus will be able to save his Roman Catholic followers?
Aaron says
Catholics will be okay because we have the sacraments and the doctrines of the Church to fall back on. The real question is how will Jesus save anybody else once the Pope becomes an apostate, himself?
In other words, ironically we need an orthodox Pope less than does the rest of the world.

On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Jesus already addressed Protestants:
John 6 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

Mortimer, if you have access to religious TV channels, you may wish to watch Hal Lindsay at 8 pm central time Friday or 10 pm Sunday. He is one of the few, if not the only, Christian preachers who directly confronts islam that I have seen. I wish and hope there are others. But I doubt they will be Roman Catholic.
Wyldeirishman says
Our “pal” Hal has been incorrectly predicting Christ’s return for as long as I am able to recall. If one is searching for an authentic Christian source of fact-based *anything,* I daresay that this blind guide is not your guy (unless you enjoy the kissing cousins of false doctrine and financial fleecing).
Frank Anderson says
Wyld. . ,, there is an absolutely brilliant Jewish teaching that there are no perfect human beings. Another of the 3 profound teachings I received the first time I visited a Jewish congregation was that Wisdom is its own authority; which does not depend on source or location. The second given that day is that wherever Wisdom is in the hands of humans, there is also error and deception. Hal Lindsay, like all of us, can be in error on some subjects, and from time to time. But I cannot perceive him to be a liar, requiring an intention to deceive. Unlike all others I have seen speak on television, Lindsay is unique, in my observation, in denouncing islam for the evil it is. At least give him that.
BTW, if he were all that concerned with money, why do you think he appears only 1 time a week on 2 different networks instead of several times a day on many? The third proposition from the first time at the congregation is to ask *every* question over and over, because each time it is answered the tarnish of error and deception will be reduced. We, being imperfect, will know the full, complete, correct answer only when we are perfect in the Presence of God. I did not say Lindsay is the *only*; just the only one I have observed. Please consider asking your questions again.
Wyldeirishman says
Unable to reply to the below comment, but I *will* say this: as someone claiming to be a follower of He who referred to Himself as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Lindsay has made a fairly lucrative career out of obfuscating truth revolving around Christ. If it were virtually any other source, the “broken clock” analogy would indeed be easier to upbraid. However, since far too many continue to look to this man for sound Biblical exegesis in spite of his outright deceptions, I fear that his citation as a reliable source on Islamic matters (particularly where it concerns premillennial dispensational eschatology, certainly problematic in and of itself) needs to be viewed as suspect at best.
Frank Anderson says
Wyld. . . , I cannot honestly call myself by any particular religious label, though I profoundly believe that God is present and cares about us, and try to learn more at every opportunity. I cannot even call Hal Lindsay on your behalf “reliable”. That is a decision only you can and should make for yourself. AT LEAST he is speaking of islam in an alert and critical way, whatever else he speaks, and however many errors are contained in his work. Many, if not most, Christians have been preaching the return of Jesus for more or less 2,000 years. Lindsay did not invent “end times” theology. Can any other reasonably well-known Christian preachers be named who confront openly and directly any unfavorable aspect of islam? I’ve been watching and listening without finding one.
Wyldeirishman says
I think, albeit indirectly, we’ve hit the proverbial nail on the head with that last question: too often, the more well-known preachers have a watered-down Gospel message (or worse – one that turns the Good News into simply another moralizing formula of Law), and are thus occupied with broadening their audience (along with their wallets) at the expense of truth. And, almost as often, major mainline Christian denominations have become steeped in liberal political activism at the expense of truth.
So the dilemma remains that Lindsay, scorned by those in the communities that value Scriptural fidelity (including my own), may be sounding an accurate alarm when it comes to Islamic matters…but given his well-deserved status as a long unorthodox crackpot, the message will be ignored. Having the earthly head of the Roman Catholic Church likewise poo-poo the reality and scope of the threat does little to address its authenticity.
As always seems to be the case, I fear that the loudest voices with the largest platform and substantial war-chest tend to say the most stupidly outrageous things, deliberately or ignorantly. Resources remain available (as fine men like Robert Spencer continue to prove), but association with such runs one the risk of likewise being libeled, smeared, hated, and misrepresented.
Against those odds, in the name of the truth, it’s still the best place to stand. ☺
Frank Anderson says
Wyld. . ., I believe we agree on that. There are no perfect people, which includes me. We struggle to identify who speaks the truth, at least some of the time; and who lies every time he opens his mouth. Our search for truth and wisdom will never be easy.
Wyldeirishman says

Jerry Todd says
There are powerful Catholic voices against jihad. EWTN is far more orthodox than The Catholic Channel that the Bishops control.
My late mentor, Bishop John R. Sheets, SJ gave me a paper he wrote on the dangers of the rise of Islam back in 1978. I incorporated it into 2 books that no one bought and hundreds of online posts that few ever responded to. Here is a part of it with my comments:
“At the present time, the hatred of the Islamic countries toward the West has become hatred against Christianity itself. Statesmen are now taking it into account that there is a grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return on a broad scale, and with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world power. Muslim writers say, “When the locust swarms darken vast countries, they bear on their wings these Arabic words, “We are God’s host, each of us has 99 eggs, and if we had 100, we should lay waste to the world and all that is in it.”
I put the onus on globalists because they have goals counter to life that parallel those of radical Islam in terms of outcome. For the globalist, it is to rule a world with an 80% reduced human population – “to save the planet” while enriching the greedy with climate change mandates.
For the jihadi, it is to rule the world under Islam and Sharia. The two may cooperate in a strange way today just as bankers finance both sides of wars, but they cannot co-exist.
Frank Anderson says

the vatican and catholic charities is making billions from taxpayer funds, NOT their flocks donations, in fees to resettle refugees AND to register them for welfare and other benefits ANNUALLY. In 2014 alone they were paid 80 million in the USA alone… they are doing this also in Europe and globally… it is a huge business and gives the real reason for their CEO to be telling us to welcome refugees and fill their pockets. PLUS they expect to make further millions from converts to their diminishing flock of westerners.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) has for the most part coveted money, power and control.
It is and historically has been a corrupt institution and now the moral decay is coming to the forefront.
“If the holy Church so requires, let us sacrifice our own opinions, our knowledge, our intelligence, the splendid dreams of our imagination, and the most sublime attainments of the human understanding.”

It appears that the RCC has truly lost its moral compass and will continue its decline into depravity and

That’s not going to happen. The Roman Catholic Church (RCC), especially the Jesuits, have been working to undermine the U.S.A. since its inception and the influx of Muslims works to their advantage.
The goal of the RCC is similar to that of Islam. The RCC wants a return to the good ole days when they controlled the narrative, when the RCC dictated policy and manipulated Kings and Queens, when they had the power of the military in their grip and they persecuted and anyone who refused to accept the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church.

http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651028_nostra-aetate_en.html
Having said that, there is no doubt that some Bishops not only in the USA, embrace liberal ideas against what the Church teaches, concerning gender issues and various social ideas.
CogitoErgoSum says
You are right, Malcolm. Nostra Aetate does not state that the Church holds Islam in esteem. It states the Church holds MUSLIMS in esteem (with the meaning that they are human beings). To say that the Church holds Islam in esteem would be like saying the Church holds heresy in esteem. (It does not.)
Furthermore, the brief states that Trump’s ban targets those who wish to flee religious persecution. Well, if the countries being banned are Muslim and the people wanting to flee those countries are Muslim, doesn’t that mean Muslims are trying to flee their own religion, Islam? Yet, the bishops hold Islam in esteem? Just how does that work?
This bishops brief to the Court is a poorly thought-out document. I hope the Court gives it all the attention it deserves (and I say that with all the sarcasm I can muster).
Terry Gain says
The danger to America (and Canada) does not come from Jihad attacks -,even though such attacks cause tremendous pain, suffering, havoc and terror. The danger comes from Islamic supremacism and imperialism. These educated men are behaving like troglodyte SJWs when it comes to the dangers of Islam. Once Muslims are 10%? Of the population, they will control the balance of power. After that we will have No Go Zones, Muslim enclaves and Sharia Law or we will have civil war. Muslims are already demanding the abolition of free speech. Islam is as resolute as the West is weak.

Christianity imposing it’s will? My how you misunderstand the Christian faith. God gave every person born the free will to choose between good and evil. Islam on the other hand, gives you no such choice…unless you want to die. A Muslim father pronounces the shahada to their newborn and from that point on you are a Muslim whether you want to be or not.
The religion of Islam is the only religion out of all the other religions that wants to impose it’s will on the world. So technically speaking, Islam is not a religion, although it is called a theocracy, it is really a cult, a cult of Satan followers without actually recognizing Shaitan as their leader.

Any pope’s main concern should not be the protection of lives, but the salvation and preservation of souls. Either Jesus Christ is God (as Catholics have proclaimed for two thousand years), or he is not (as muslims have proclaimed at swords’ point for about thirteen centuries. The Muslim rapes and massacres aside, allowing them to propagate their religion on Catholics is to be forever complicit in the conversion of those Catholics by free will or at swords’ point, and their subsequent damnation for deserting Christianity is the responsibility of any pope, cardinal, bishop or priest who has deserted his flock. According to Fr. John Arintero (currently being considered for sainthood) in his The Evolution of the Church: “The great evils which the Church has had to suffer, come precisely from the fact that certain important organs thought too much of themselves, their human grandeur, and forgot the sacrifices which their ministry imposed on them for the honor of God and the good of Christianity. They were too much taken up with the accumulation of benefits and forgetful of the right performance of their offices. They degraded themselves as organs or members of the Church in order to figure as great men of their century. As a result they were transformed into parasites and false shepherds who, instead of giving their life for their sheep, impoverished them in order to prosper and increase themselves, without any profit to the flock of the Lord. To such as these He threatens terrible punishments through His prophet Ezekiel: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel, that fed themselves: should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds? You ate the milk, and you clothed yourself with the wool, and you killed that which was fat: but my flock you did not feed….I will require my flock at their hand.’”

Wellington says
I was raised a pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic. Was an altar boy and learned my Latin fairly well (a knowledge of Latin being just one of many things Vatican II effectively destroyed).
Later, even though I became an agnostic and was resolved in the conviction, as I am to this day, that all religions are fairy tales and that it’s far more likely that man created God rather than the other way around and that the cosmos is indifferent towards the species, Homo sapiens, I still retained a high regard for the Roman Catholic Church, institutionally, artistically, intellectually and historically speaking, though at the same time being cognizant that it took the Protestant world, baring man before the Christian God directly, as the Roman Catholic world would never have done, to create America, the greatest polity of all time and the Protestant’s world single greatest achievement to date I would argue.
And to continue, for what it is worth and it may very well not be worth much, while not accepting the Judeo-Christian theology, I applaud its ethic, refined in an aesthetic and intellectual sense by Catholicism and made bold and powerful and ultimately liberating by the Protestant counter to Catholicism.
Sadly, I fear, so much of this is being lost in our time, i.e., the greatness of all of Christianity (and Judaism) compared to the desultory world inevitably and eventually guaranteed by anyone who proffers approbation of the Islamic take on existence.
All this is beyond tragic, and lethal as well, as is the abnegation by so many Christian sects, none more so than the Roman Catholic sect in our time ( I would mention once again that great error that caused the RC Church to lose its collective mind, i.e., Vatican II), in the acceptance of Islam as something good when, in fact, it should be crystal clear that Islam represents the ultima
Wellington says
Didn’t get to finish: Here it is: “….that Islam represents the ultimate distortion of religion and not in any way religion at its best. Far from it. Very far from it. And to the extent that any other religion, e.g., Roman Catholicism, has made any kind of alliance with Islam in our time (e.g., American Catholic bishops), then to such an extent does such alliance bespeak of foolhardiness and complicity with evil.
No exceptions. None.

Greetings my friend, you are right about Vat ll, really miss the Latin, and the chants, the spirituality of mystery and worship.
Through history we have been down this road before and it was the ground swell of people who listen to the minority of good people, who sacrificed much to get the Church on track.
Always seen the composition of the Church as a reflection of that of secular society, so there is no scandal that surprises me, however there have been so many exceptional people that has surprised me and have done so much good, that inspires me. They are the saints, those who are willing to make sacrifices for truth. There is never a worry that we will get through this and the it will repeat itself, simply put is the natural instincts in mankind.
You are a good man though we will probably never meet, there is a meeting of similar experience and thought. My prayers are with you.
Carolyn says
You are correct. I was not alive before Vatican II but my family and I have retreated to the tiny handful of RC Churches that do the Latin Rite, where the priest faces the tabernacle and I cover my head when I enter the church. But, aside from that, the majority of Bishops today are more concerned with covering up the scandals of their homosexual brothers in collars than serving their flocks. The Pope is no better. MLK said there is a special place in hell for men, who in times of crisis, stood by and did nothing. St. Teresa of Avila also saw the fate of the clergy who lived for THIS world. I’d suggest locking up the borders and puttng these bishops on the other side so minister to the “peaceful” mUslims before they can enter. How do you think that would play out?
Parker says
Why not? The Pope wants the US to be over-run by his fellow Hispanic illegals.
Donald MacInnis says
Bishops are part of the world immigration problem. Probably all pedos as well. I’m Christian, but I have no respect for these people.
Terry Gain says
Donald MacInnis
The Bishops are wrong but you are an effing asshole for claiming that they are all pedos.
Chand says
Yes, Terry. It is emitting feces.
Stacy Girl says
They sit around at their conclaves deciding which holy days to axe and what vestment colors to add. They may as well be pedos as they have been collectively covering for abusers since forever. If there is one honorable man amongst them (Raymond Leo Burke), expect a demotion and castigation. Faced with empty collection plates, they turn to the government for migrant bounty $$. The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops-St. John Chrysostom.
Bezelel says
The Pope and his Bishops should be organizing the new Templars. I’m going to go out on a limb here and that not one of the Bishops or the Pope is willing to go to the Cross for their cause or in my place. If they want a shot at the title, that is the qualifier. Until then they have no right to expect us to do the same for them by paying for their mistakes. Dante saw men of the cloth in hell. Darn smart guy he was.
JM says
Second Vatican Council
Nostra Aetate (1965)
Excerpts:
“3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself…”
“…Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. …”
In the first excerpt, the word “the” in the phrase “the one God” means that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. Nothing could be further from the truth. If the Christian God is the one and only true God, and the Muslim God is not the same as the Christian God, there is an insurmountable problem.
In the second excerpt, “they revere Him as a prophet” are grossly misleading. Islam sees Jesus Christ as a failed prophet, and awaits its own “Jesus” (Isa), who will break the cross. Islam is the anti-Christ religion by definition, and according to its own claims.
Wishing to be friends is good.
Staying alive is better.

Stacy Girl says
JM, thanks for your succinct explanation as to why the Catholic Church is no longer a missionary church. Who to convert? We all worship God who is also allah. In the large US metros, Catholic Charities does nothing more than refer “clients” to the local welfare office. Material help without spiritual help = devils workshop.
Bezelel says
JM, I read the link, They just gloss over every part of the islamic mission statement of global domination by genocide and the multitude of Scripture that islam rejects. Irreconcilable differences. The only hope for any muslim is to get out of islam. The Catholic Church isn’t doing them any favors by telling them it’s ok.
JM says
Despite its diabolical strategic and tactical cleverness, Islam always overplays its hand. Islam is like a anti-hero in a Greek tragedy, except with not one but numerous fatal flaws. Too bad for Islam that it burned Greek books and banned theatre. It could’ve evolved from cleverness to intelligence.
Islam may be overplaying its hand now in demanding that the misnomer “Islamophobia” be defined.
Cheer Bear Girl says
How disgusting. These morons are going to get not only Christians but Americans as a whole killed.
The Dope and these guys are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Anyone who has read and studied the Qur’an knows Islam promotes and encourage violence against those who are not citizens of Islam. These Bishops ought to take the time to read the Qur’an and learn Islam’s real history and its objectives. But then this current Pope is one of those from South American who promoted “Liberation Theology” who was rebuked by a prior Pope. Remember, “Liberation Theology” is Marxism with a veneer of Christianity.
Donald R Laster Jr says
And remember, when the Qur’an is put in the order written, versus longest to shorted, the violence and depravities promoted by the theocracy called Islam is apparent. The Bishops need some real history lessons related to Islam.
Frank Anderson says
I doubt there is any reason to hope or expect any “liberals” to take honest history lessons. They live on lies to spread lies and bring death. I have seen that liberal non-thinking up close and personal; and have no reason to expect different in the future. Time to stop listening to them and catering to their treason.
tim gallagher says
As a Christian, I certainly wouldn’t take any notice of the idiotic decrees of these “leaders”, who are so ignorant on the issue of Islam. Hey, we’re not meant to commit suicide which is what these fools would have us do. They want the USA to commit cultural suicide it seems. The problem seems to be that evil islam is a “religion”. Hence, the “religious discrimination” crap. So these church leaders seem to think it therefore deserves protection. If it was Nazism, I guess they wouldn’t be saying the USA needs to let Nazis in. Islam and Christianity are a different as chalk and cheese. They may both be religions, but are complete opposites. These fools seem to think any religion needs to be protected. People like this are a menace to all non-Muslims. The blood of people murdered by the Muslims they want to let into USA will be on their hands. They need to be ignored, at least on this issue..
Frank Anderson says
What are the differences between islam and Nazism? One is about 1400 years old. The other is about 90. Both aspire to social purity. Both want to dominate an underclass. Both wish to murder those they consider unacceptable. Both want to eliminate freedom. And both read many of the same books including Mein Kampf. How many other “differences” can be identified while destroying any excuse for failing to identify the current, ongoing attack on liberty for what it is? “Deliberate ignorance constitutes knowledge of the truth.” Wyle v. R.J.Reynolds, 709 F.2d 585 (9th Cir. 1983).
tim gallagher says
Yep, they seem very similar in their goals and methods, Frank. Islam, having lasted for 1300 years, has done more damage, but they are both barbaric, malignant forces. But, surely these know nothing church leaders are disarmed by Islam’s having the tag “religion” put on it. How foolish and naïve. Thus, they jump to its defence because, to oppose Islam, is (ooh, the horror) “religious discrimination”. To the church leaders, hey, you idiots, not all religions are good and noble. Wake up and face reality. Frank, your comment about both wanting eliminate freedom, is spot on. Islam is the enemy of western civilisation’s freedoms.
tim gallagher says
Correction: I meant 1400 years not 1300 years.
Frank Anderson says
T.G. with a 🙂 It depends on who is counting and where they start. Either number is close enough to understand the long duration of horror and how little it changes.
Niemoller says
Good Lord, look at all those near-dead white male closet cases virtue-signalling their religion and culture down the road to hell! They look like a room full of white-haired clones!
These are not good representatives of western culture. Is it really reasonable to take seriously a bunch of effete pseudo-virgin “fathers” who contribute nothing to saving actually humane humanity?
CogitoErgoSum says
So your criticism is that they are old white men? Deep, very deep (and once again I say that with all the sarcasm I can muster).
Niemoller says
The proper term for them would be baizuo. I was just struck by the non-diverse photo on the one hand and their attempts to exterminate themselves on the other. It looks like a photo from the 60’s or from Poland, which there is nothing wrong per se. Upon closer inspection, there is actually a black “father” in the back. He too much want to lose his job to an imam.
CogitoErgoSum says
Thanks for introducing me to the new word “baizuo.” Being an old white man myself I took your comment personally. I hope “baizuo” does not apply to me but maybe the word “cantankerous” does …. now and then. For now (and also then), I wish you well.
Niemoller says
Cogito, Glad I could clarify. You sound like the rock of strength we need, not these blithering collared fools who are closer to Judas than Jesus, and seem to have learned nothing with age.
Carol the 1st) says
Cogito must have missed Niemoller’s lesson on BAIZUO:
Baizuo [pronounced Bay Zhoo] (Chinese: literally “White left(ies)”) is a derogatory Chinese epithet that came into being in the middle 2010’s.The word received attention in Germany where it was seen as criticizing the immigration policies of Angela Merkel.
Political scientist Zhang Chenchen further defined the word “baizuo” with the definition “People who only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”. Baizuo is used as an insult amongst Chinese netizens.
JM says
There seems to be a recent epidemic of confusion and uncertainty at the very top regarding essential Christian beliefs. Consider these three examples:
The former Bishop of Canterbury said that he is not certain that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ actually occurred.
The head of the Jesuits (the same order as Pope Francis) declared that the devil is a symbolic construct invented by man.
Pope Francis reportedly told his favorite reporter (the 93-year old atheist Eugenio Scalfari, who never records his interviews and keeps getting the pope into hot water) that he thinks that hell does not exist.
It is worth noting that the Vatican’ spin doctors achieved only limited damage control of Francis’ apparent statement on this occasion. The public is finally wising up to Francis’ plausible deniability scam of continually relying on an unreliable and possibly hostile reporter who repeatedly causes “misinterpretations” of the gravest possible nature.
Despite all of this recent confusion and uncertainty about mere matters of eternal salvation, Pope Francis is very certain on the many earthly issues that take up all of his time: capitalism is evil, Islam is peace, climate change is bad, cultural identity is bad, borders are bad, mass Muslim migration is good, guns are bad, nation-states are bad, and world government is good. Nobody can accuse “Call me Jorge” Bergoglio of being confused and uncertain on the issues that he truly cares about.
Aaron says
Somewhere in the bible it states
Even the very elect will be led astray
If that were possible
Looks like the catholic bishops are on their way
Even the Good Samaritan took care of the victim of the attack but didn’t take him home with him
Estee Tabernac says
Now let’s gather the numbers on Christians who have committed mass murder for reasons less significant than religion. Where did their parents, grandparents or great grandparents come from? The list of banned countries will grow exponentially. Maybe it’s not all Christias. Maybe it’s just a few troublesome fundamentalist churches. Entry to the US could be controlled by religious filters. All men with beards and women who cover their heads should be stopped at the border. Women who don’t wear makeup are suspect along with anyone with a Bible in their pocket.
Chand says
You are in the wrong website, Estee Tabernac.
This is Jihad watch. Not Christian Killers Watch.
Carol the 1st) says
Everything’s a matter of degree, Estee.

What a lot of rot from Estee Tabernac. What fundamentalist “Christias” are murdering people in the name of Christianity? Just calumny.
Matthieu Baudin says
Unless a nation adopts an unrestricted ‘open borders’ policy then its immigration policy must be discriminatory in one or several aspects. The criteria for deciding who to allow and who to decline admission is innately discriminatory. The eloquent Bishops ought to be more discriminating in their use of language – if they mean to assert that the current restrictions against migrant applicants from terrorist linked States is based on prejudice then they should call it prejudice and then argue their case in detail against the Administrations policy.
Dapto says
All properties owned by the Roman Catholic church must be sold either voluntarily or by force and the proceeds of these funds must be given to the new Multiculti god of mediocrity. Time for this institution to go bye bye.

Sam says
WOW!!!!
I am not a Christian, neither these Catholics
CogitoErgoSum says
So, in your opinion, what is a Christian?
CogitoErgoSum says
I don’t wish to be too sharp with you, Sam, but I consider myself a Christian and I believe these men are also Christians. Christians make mistakes and errors of judgment just like everyone else. But Christ told us to be patient and forgiving of one another. If I am wrong I hope I can admit it and if they are wrong I hope they can admit it and we will all be reconciled in the end. I am hopeful that Christ will guide them (and me) to that good ending and from there to a better place that will have no end. BTW, I hope to meet you there with a smile. 🙂
Linda says
If Christ was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver, should his followers be surprised when they’re betrayed for money, too? Aren’t we all just being set up for a one world government run by the globalist elites?
Mark Swan says
Good One Linda.
Linda says
The elites don’t even give the people a chance to decide what they want anymore. They just tell us that all this Islamic murder and mayhem is “cultural enrichment”, and that we “need immigration”.
Carol the 1st) says
The global elites and their fans are known as the BAY ZHOO.

I made a point of copying a description of the Baizuo that I saw in one of these posts because I’ve met a few of those White Lefties myself.

Ren says
Bunch of dumb bishops that know nothing about islam and muslims.
Keys says
Let’s all sing ”Kumbaya” ( 7 verses) for the bishops followed by
“All We Are Saying Is Give Peace a Chance”
as we hold each other and sway in unison.
And if no one has thrown up yet, let’s finish with
“We Are the World” as over our heads we wave lit candles and lighters.
If we sing with all our hearts, maybe these bishops will face the music.
utis says
The laity is subject to its leaders in faith and morals (I laugh). When it comes to survival, even Catholics need to protect themselves. People are not sheep; that was a metaphor used by Jesus. When it comes to shearing and slaughter, even sheep don’t want to be sheep.
Older Canadian says
An idiot is an idiot is an idiot. Unfortunately.
Linnte says
It’s time to start the narrative that Islam isn’t a religion but a Governmental System! And we need to SHOUT it loud and long. Islam has religious rights ONLY because Governments and the people of the world ASSUME Islam is a religion. We could shove Islam back to the 10th century by having it proclaimed a Political/legal/government which also has a religion. Dr. Bill Warner has already done the math for us. Islam is 20% religion and 80% government.
Mickey Bitsko says
Exactly how can it be religious discrimination when it “bans” only a small minority of Muslims?
Ralph says
Yes, A small minority of Muslim dominated countries who have proven links to violent terror. But the mainstream media don’t want you to know that. The infiltration of America must continue unstopped. And if you oppose it you are rasist, a bigot, islamophobe, etc.

For as long as enough people remain duped by the global establishment then we shall continue to hasten along this road to hell.
brane pilot says
The US Constitution is explicit and unequivocal in giving the POTUS the absolute authority to dictate who may, or may not, enter the US.
The attempt to strip the POTUS of this Constitutional power based on ‘past statements’ or his ‘mental state’ is yet another dimension of the ongoing coup attempt to remove a freely and fairly elected president.
That the Catholic Church has gotten involved in this is a dark stain upon its leadership.
WPM says
The Catholic Church should work in saving and protecting and condemning violence against Christians through out the world. Why should the West be the single bearer of these so call refugees, why are the Islamic countries of the world not reaching out to their fellow Moslem ” Brothers and Sisters”? The Pope is more concern with righting what he sees as the West so call “pass sins” then protecting the current flock from the wolves of Islam. The current Pope is putting his communist learnings ahead of his mission of protecting and speaking up for his flock and brothers and sisters of other Christian branches that are facing evil violence or threats of violence everyday. The United States has laws written to protect its citizens, it is the duty of Americas leader to it citizens first. We have borders ,immigration laws ,and let in many people throughout the world that come here in an what should be a orderly manner. It is not the Popes job to condemn our laws that are enforced to protect the good people of this country.If he the Pope wants to open his palace to the so call refugees call off his armed guards ,let the great hords take over the churches throughout the world he can do so. I think the followers of the church would have a great problem with that ,it might satisfy the communist leaning in his soul. The president is not telling the Pope how to run his church into the ground ,the Pope and the progressive left should not tell the president what to do , he should keep his first duty to protect its citizens. The president is the leader of America, not president of the world ,let some of the Islamic world solve the problems they created for a change.
FYI says
When I see a picture of senior RCC clergymen I often ask myself..
“Yes…but which one is an Actual Catholic..and which one is NOT involved in the ecclesiastical freemasonry warned about in Fatima 1917”
These are difficult times for Catholics;I believe the trick is to KEEP your faith in spite of the apostasy,heresy and falsehoods emanating from the Bergolio circus in Rome.
So the advice given(to “leave them:they are blind guides”)whilst maintaining your faith,is the best.
{Oh.. and you might like to read Matthew chapter 25:an entire chapter is given on WHY you should keep your faith despite being betrayed by senior clergymen and “pope” francis.Especially given the times we live in seeMatthew Chapter 24.And if you are a catholic you surely know about Fatima 1917 and you see what is being fulfilled in Rome,preparing the way for the on referred to in 2 Thessalonians 2}}
Remember too that Judgement begins in the Household of the Lord{I Peter 4 v 17}.
the men who run the RCC,the church administrators{they won’t know this..}but they will be FIRST on the list in terms of answering for their scattering of the flock,their failure to evangelize etc.
Thank God I’m not a Bishop or a Cardinal!They have SO much to answer for!
Brother Charles says
Its written in History ,That the pope of the day ,RCC, made an agreement with the muslims that they would send a ( BULL , a order ) giving permission for the muslims to attack YERUSALEM , which they did and they slaughtered all the people and ransacked YERUSALEM , then the POPE asked for yerusalem ,But the muslims told him to SOD OFF, ( In not so many words ) NOW history is repeating itself and the RCC is doing it again .

Politicianophobia says
The chasm between Islam and jahiliyyah is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides many mix with each other, but only so that the people of jahiliyyah may come over to Islam, whether they reside in a so-called Islamic country and consider themselves Muslim or they are outside the “Islamic” country, in order that they may come out of the darkness into the light and may rid themselves of their miserable conditioner, and enjoy those blessings which we have tasted–we who have understood Islam and live in its atmosphere.
Carol the 1st) says
…is that the atmosphere where blood-filled corpuscles fly through the air with the greatest of ease?
gravenimage says
Yes–straight from the Muslim Brotherhood.
michael says
The Catholic bishops are more concerned with a borderless America and so-called global warming than they are with educating Catholics in their faith and evangelizing the world.
Tom says
As a Catholic I will hereby declare to the world that He is NOT my Pope, these men, the so called Clergy, who follow this false Pope into the abyss of appeasement of an evil ideology, are NOT representatives of me or my faith, and we Catholics must purge our church of the rotten evil that has taken root within our religion. These are the people who allowed pedophiles to prosper and progress within the Church and must be thrown out with the rest of the political left wing zealots.
Now where are all those muslims who stand up to decry Islam and the evil in that religion?
Carol the 1st) says
I doubt they’re living in Pakistan.
Logan Hartanian says
One possibility is that numerous parties, including the Vatican as well as The European Union and select countries within this group, have opted to force a cultural clash in hopes that secularism prevails. By forcibly integrating both Muslims and Africans with social evolutions far below what is normally expected in European socialism (no fault of their own of course!) the governmental powers are instigating not only, crime in their very own societies, but a rise of the far right (which they are well familiar with). Further, by temporarily squelching the voices of the people through restrictions on free speech (which the courts will ultimately undo), in essence you are creating a timer-fused, pressure cooker bomb, built of modernity. Will it modernize Islam or will it simply introduce World War III? I have a feeling that, quite frankly, the banking class couldn’t give a damn, one way or another, since both outcomes will be in their favor!
Linda Gourash says
I think you meant to say that the Bishops have received MILLIONS, not Billions from the US govt. the conflict is the same.
LMG says
I think you meant to say that the bishops have received 534 Million (not Billion).
Robert Spencer says
No, 534 billion is correct.
Gamaliel says
If Islam is a religion than it is religious discrimination but if a religion teaches people to kill you than by all means discriminate.
Kalifornia Kafir says
“They are completely in line with Pope Francis, who has claimed risibly that ‘authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.’ ”
One could say the same of the Bible, but throughout the centuries Roman Catholics have found a myriad of ways to violate every tenet written therein.

I’m a Catholic from the old Latin Tridentine days. I still go to mass on Sunday and holy days for the sacrements. But as far as anything else is concerned I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE CHURDH!
I care NOTHING about what Popes, Cardinals or Bishops think or say about ANYTHING!
I didn’t leave the Church. The Church left me. Believe it or not I can ACTUALLY REMEMBER when the Catholic Church in America was patriotic and ACTUALLY BELIEVED in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I care nothing for illegal aliens! SEND THEM ALL BACK!
Politicianophobia says
“The society was freed from all oppression, and the Islamic system was established in which justice was God’s justice and in which weighing was God’s balance. The banner of the social justice was raised in the name of one God, and the name of the banner was Islam. No other name was added to it, and “La ilaha illa Allah” was written on it.”
Politicianophobia says
“Islam stands for change. It seeks to change the individual and the society. This change covers every aspect of human life, from personal morality to business, economics, and politics. It is only natural that Islam should be fought by those who oppose change. This is the way Islam has bee throughout history.”
“We must also free ourselves from the clutches of jahili society, jahili concepts, jahili traditions
and jahili leadership. Our mission is not to compromise with the practices of jahili society, NOR CAN WE BE LOYAL TO IT. Jahili society, because of jahili characteristics, IT IS NOT WORTHY to be compromised with. Our aim is to change ourselves so that we may later change the society”‘
“Our first step is to raise ourselves above the jahili society and all its values and concepts. We will NOT change our own values and concepts either more or less to make a bargain with this jahili society. NEVER. WE AND IT ARE ON DIFFERENT ROADS, and if we take EVEN ONE STEP in its company, we will lose our goal entirely and lose our our way as well.”
Carol the 1st) says
Surely you jest? But if not, here we go as always – Islam refusing to wear the shoe when it fits!! Little insight and lots of “OTHER” rejection from… (drum roll)… ISLAM – but who can blame you?

Politicianophobia says
“There is only one law which ought to be followed, and that is the Shari’ah from God: anything else is mere emotionalism and impulsiveness.
“Muslims can have only two possible relations with (Dar-ul-Harb): peace with contractual agreement, or war.”
Carol the 1st) says
Politicianophobia…that’s so similar to something Hitler said to his SS troops near the end of WWII. Something about how their suppression of their own human pity and compassion (e.g. translate ’emotionalism and impulsiveness’) was a tribute to their greatness, and how someday they would really be appreciated for their strength and fortitude (yes, it took a lot of balls).
When it comes to Hitler and Islam it’s hard to tell which comes first – the CHICKEN OR THE EGG.
Frank Anderson says
Chronologically, islam came *about* 1300 years earlier. Doctrinally, I’m not sure of any differences. They seemed to “mesh” well before and during WWII; and got along famously after the war through such killers as Otto Skorzeny, one of Hitler’s favorite hit-men. I wonder how present sales of Mein Kampf compare to the Koran in muslim countries? If you look at many countries, especially Europe, it looks to me like Hitler is winning almost 80 years after he “died”. Vidkun Quisling is smiling in his grave because he is now one of many traitors instead of one of a few. “And the beat goes on. . .” Sonny and Cher. Is it time to stop the beat?
Politicianophobia says
Shame on the so called holy men.

It paints a pretty building-block portrait of Islam. The assorted bearded ones scrambling for the top rungs. Some “true believers” and some not so much. All equally unimpressive.
George says
It appears to me that the Bishops have never read whay St Thomas Aquinas had to say about immigration or what the Saints had to say about Islam. Maybe they should spend some time learning their own religion.

linda goudsmit says
Religious discrimination? REALLY? The brief to the Supreme Court is not about religious discrimination – Muslim migration into the US is big business for the Catholic Church! American tax dollars pay the Church to settle the refugees. Here is an alternative idea. Let the complaining Catholic Bishops receive the Muslims from those five countries in Vatican City. The charitable Church can support them directly – no American tax dollars. Regarding public safety – the only safety the Church is concerned with is their own. Let the Vatican open their doors to Muslim immigrants before they tell any other country what to do. The extraordinary hypocrisy of the Catholic Church under this socialist Pope is unprecedented and extremely unwelcome.
Kepha says
The good bish’s painted themselves into a corner by declaring themselves pro-immigration-regardless due to their own parentage coming when the USA badly needed people and would admit any European or Western Hemisphere native with 10 bucks in his pocket who was healthy, willing to work, and didn’t seem to be a criminal. Then their own communion benefited from the USA becoming the safety valve for Latin America.
I’ve imagined a different scenario: Shortly after the US-Mexican War, a band of intrepid Ulster Presbyterian missionaries land in Mexico and enjoy overwhelming success. Whole indigenous tribes, large numbers of the Creole elite, and folks in between embrace a hard-@$$ed/rock-ribbed Presbyterianism, only translated into Spanish.
The result is that after Mexico finally gets enough people to want to move north and Mexican immigration to El Norte revs up, the Anglo-Scots-Irish and their white-to-brown brethren mingle all across the SW and almost down to El Distrito Federal, bilingualism everywhere from the Mississippi to Puebla becomes something that’s sort of ho-hum, and the RC bishops in the USA become the loudest band of nativists. Then again, my guess is that a Protestant Mexico would probably end up a peer of the USA with only moderate exchange of population in both directions.
Kepha says
Supposedly the RC Church is all for the unity of the human race and “anti-racist”. Yet it was our RC Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney who handed down the Dred Scott decision, disenfranchising blacks in the North and Gens du Couleur in Louisiana.
awake says
The current sad state of the Church, from the false-pontiff Jesuit now sitting atop its throne, to the Bishops, who fail to heed Christ’s wisdom as to where authority should be rendered, is long in the making, post Vatican II.
The Church should be in the business of saving souls through the embrace of the teachings of Christ, full stop. They have no business in the politics of the sovereignty of nations. The financial stake and benefit of open immigration is apparent to the Church’s political interests.
While Vatican II may have proclaimed that Moslems are held in esteem, since we are all children of God, Islam does not worship that god, and they are truly lost souls in their current state.
In actuality, all three of the “Abrahamic faiths”, are totally and mutually exclusive. Belief in any one of them essentially renders the other two as abject heresy. That statement is not remarkable, but rather logically irrefutable.

It appears that the Bible opposes what the Roman Catholic Church/Vatican II has said about being a child of God?
The Bible in John Chapter 1:12-13 states:
“But to all who did receive him (Yeshua HaMashiach), who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1:12-13
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 1:3

Of course the USCCB is more concerned about money. Look at the Christians throughout the Middle East and Africa that are being slaughtered on a daily basis! Where’s the outcry USCCB..!! There have been two churches here in my city that have been sold to the Muslims for their Mosque! These Prelates of our holy mother church are going to stand before the Almighty Judge Himself some day. They’re like Judas, selling Our Lord for thirty pieces of silver so if they don’t care about Christ’s church, why would they care about the American people!!

They are closing over 80 parishes in Pittsburgh, just announced yesterday. Rome needs place fillers for the pews and continuing participation in this heresy. The immigrants get $50,000 a year for five years, where can I move where I can get that amount of blood money?
Millennial aren’t interested in what any religion has to say, they pray to the phone, daily.

These old men in dresses are dead to me. They lack both common sense and authority.

Just who are the evil ones? They hide behind the cloth. They hide behind a false words. Their talk is sweet to the ears yet sour to the spirit. They deny Christ.

U.S. Catholic bishops to Americans: Drop dead
……………………….
Right–who cares if we are raped or murdered by invading Muslims? Not these Bishops…

One of the strengths and weakness of the catholic church is it is run like the military the Pope is the head general he sets policy, tone, mission .If you do not follow orders you are out ,you cannot question his policy in public .It makes for order ,but when you have a Pope who mission is to follow a communist doctrine over the gospels leaving the flock open to the wolves of Islam. When you refuse to condemn violence on Christians in public speech,or make your Bishops into just your minions to advance your communist cause you are in effect a heretic Pope in my eyes. You are a traitor to the people you lead if you will not at least speak out about their percussion because of their Christian faith. You who have armed guards you live in a palace pay for by the common man you will not speak out about or defend the common man of faith who is killed because his faith in Christ.
