“Why Does Pope Francis’s New Morocco Logo Imply Submission To Islam?” Because he has submitted. Pope Francis has become a defender of Islam.
“If this Vatican logo tells us anything, it is that Pope Francis is comfortable with Islam’s ascendency….This crescent does not appear alongside the cross, as if a companion to it. Rather, the Islamic symbol encircles the Christian one. What passes for a cross is feeble, barely recognizable.”
The Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, Ahmed al-Tayeb, has also extended his gratitude and thanked the Pope for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.” Christianity is still waiting for the Pope to defend it against widespread Islamic persecution.
“Why Does Pope Francis’s New Morocco Logo Imply Submission To Islam?,” by Maureen Mullarkey, The Federalist , January 22, 2019:
St. Francis of Assisi traveled to Egypt in 1219 with the Fifth Crusade, determined to proclaim the truth of the gospel to Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil. Celebratory anticipation of the 800th anniversary of that meeting between saint and sultan began two years ago with Pope Francis’ trip to Egypt. Initiated by the Franciscans, the extended jubilee culminates this March with a papal visit to Morocco.
Vatican media foregoes the traditional papal insignia in promotion of this trip. Apropos of our age of slogans and Instagram politicking, it has chosen instead a logo created specifically for the event. Vatican News explained the choice: “A cross and a crescent . . . are symbols of Christianity and Islam which highlight the interreligious relation between Christians and Muslims.”
Interreligious relation is an airy trope drawn from the optimism of Pope John Paul II. During a memorable 1986 inter-faith convention in Assisi, John Paul hailed “the seeds of truth found in all religions.” He sealed the words with a respectful kiss on a Koran. A balmy ménage of many-colored pieties and alternative practitioners, the event buoyed enthusiasm for religious relativism. Its pan-religious sentimentality survives in the current pope’s apparent embrace of Islam as morally equivalent to Judeo-Christian ethos and culture.
Since 1986, Islam’s character and purposes have become clearer. Evidence of the scale of its distance from Assisi’s cross-cultural smorgasbord of religious impulses has sharpened. If this Vatican logo tells us anything, it is that Pope Francis is comfortable with Islam’s ascendency. The “relation” made visual here is one of domination. Take a look.

This crescent does not appear alongside the cross, as if a companion to it. Rather, the Islamic symbol encircles the Christian one. What passes for a cross is feeble, barely recognizable….
No Muzzies Here says
He has shown time after time that he considers Islam to be on a par with Christianity. He has said that the Koran and the Bible are the same. He has condemned Christians for terrorism. He is ashamed of Christianity. He has shown love for Muslim leaders.
Symbols are very important. They express in concrete terms what one is thinking. The Communist Crucifix is one example (an amalgam of Christ and Marx). This is another (the subservience of the cross to the crescent).
Michael Copeland says
A crescent and two scimitars crossed, not unlike the Muslim Brotherhood logo.
Westman says
Yes, and those swords forming the cross could be right off the flag of Iran. You can’t make this Vatican stuff up – the symbol of Islam’s violence imposed on a cross.
Imams won’t know whether to smirk with pride or protest.
Bill says
“Imams won’t know whether to smirk with pride or protest.” They will do both, the more savvy of them will be smirking at their tool, Jorge Mario Bergoglio. They must have nothing but contempt for him. He is not even a worthy adversary.
thebigW says
I got another theory from Googlin’ around: The red crescent on the outside symbolizes the Caliphate (red, traditional for Ottoman Caliphate), the green is Islam as a sword chopping at the weak yellow tree of Christianity (a tree with no cross-beam).
Rufolino says
Here, the Tree of Christianity is visibly wilting. You just couldn’t make this up. The best place for this ‘logo’ will be on Francis’ tomb. It says it all.
Carol the 1st says
It struck me as a “blood” red moon and inside the green of Islam completing the X- cross-out stroke on a semblance of a Christian symbol..
Lydia Church says
The globalist secret societies disguise much in symbols. It is wise to look into that. I have seen so many things that way. Their motto is: “hidden in plain sight”. And it is.
James Pierce says
Why on Earth does the Pope need a “logo” in the first place?
BC says
That resembles almost exactly the road signs I used to see when I lived in a Muslim state. The faithful could not be expose to the cross under any circumstances.
mike9a says
Would mos put cross in any shape and form on their logo!? Dhimmi. Absolutely awful! And those are todays leaders. Look what is happening in Europe when you bring in human look alike hordes with 7th century brains. What is missing? Camel drink to complete this conquest.
Terry Gain says
“servant of hope”.
What we need is a Master of Reality. Islam not only denies the divinity of Christ, it accuses Him of faking his own death – with the help of Allah. Islam thus blasphemes both Christ and Allah. Unless this doctrine is abolished – and it never will be – Islam offers not Hope but self – deception.

ISLAM DOESN’T CONTAIN A TEACHING OF TERRORISM??? Say what???
‘ISIS TERRORISM IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WAHHABISM’ – Islamic sheikhs and theologians
-Dr. Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Sheikh and Grand Imam of Al Azhar refused to condemn ISIS terrorism, “Al Azhar cannot accuse any [Muslim] of being a kafir [infidel], as long as he believes in Allah and the Last Day—even if he commits every atrocity,” adding: “I cannot denounce ISIS as un-Islamic, but I can say that they cause corruption on earth. ISIS believes that those [Muslims] who commit the great sins are kafirs and can be killed. Thus if I denounce them of being un-Islamic, I fall into the same [trap] I am now condemning.”
-in 1997, Grand Imam Tantawi of Al Azhar University (top Muslim in the world) declared suicide operations legal. He told the Arabic daily al-Hayat that the Palestinian suicide bombers acted in self defence against aggressors and their actions were justified under Islamic shari’a (the implication being that this is true even when civilians were targeted declared such operations legal, blaming Israel for fuelling the violence. He told the Arabic daily al-Hayat that the Palestinian suicide bombers acted in self defence against aggressors and their actions were justified under Islamic shari’a (the implication being that this is true even when civilians were targeted.
-In 1998, Tantawi again in an interview to al-Hayat, declared that Palestinian suicide attacks are legal under shari’a, stating that: “It is every Muslim, Palestinian and Arab’s right to blow himself up in the heart of Israel”.
-Ayatollah Khomeini approved of Islamic terror as well: “Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other ayahs and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”
-in 2015, the former imam of the Grand Mosque of Mecca, Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani, declared that the Islamic State and Saudi Arabia “follow the same thought”. He has stated as well, that ISIS is a “true product of Salafism,” the same brand of Islam as officially espoused by Saudi Arabia. He clearly stated, “We [in Saudi Arabia] follow the same thought [as ISIS], but apply it in a refined way…They draw their ideas from what is written in our own books, from our own principles… we do not criticise the thought on which it (ISIS) is based”.

Many Muslims actually HATE the cross and any depiction of cross is upsetting to them … it is a breach of the Pact of Omar.
Dope Frank is SUBMITTING TO THE PACT of OMAR … and he probably doesn’t know what that is.
VMS says
This is true! I’ve been living in Islamic countries, yes Muslims hate the sign of the Cross (most if not all).
I personally positive that something is seriously wrong with them..forerunner of the antichrist that St.Thomas Aquinas warned us about.
And I was a victim of their magic and taqiya, I’ve seen it all!
We desperately need the full armor of GOD we’re entering the great spiritual battle;
The last Crusade.
mortimer says
Christine Douglass-Williams has made an important observation here: the disguised cross is encircle and ‘CAPTURED’ by the crescent in this design.
Muslim supremacists must LOVE IT … they will not be satisfied, though, until they have COMPLETE and TOTAL SUPREMACY … that is what Dhimmi Frank doesn’t get.

It surely comes as NO SURPRISE to Catholics who know about Catholic prophecy and this appaling “pope”{…Fatima 1917’s prediction of an Apostasy promoted by Rome,eccleisiastical freemasonry,The Black Pope{black=Jesuit}prophecy}.
The men who run the RCC have EMPTIED their churches,scattered the flock and betrayed Catholics and have even warped the liturgy of the original Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and turned it into a hand-shaking circus called the Novus Ordo{!!} mass.
All these errors are fruits of Vatican II:many catholics have seen their faith undermined by senior RCC clergy and the Vatican.
It is not that they left the catholic church:rather it is that the catholic church left them.
{I have lifelong church going catholics in my family who don’t even go any more to the Novus Ordo{!!} mass:they don’t feel welcome,as Catholics{!} ,in Mr Bergolio’s church}
When Pope Paul VI in 1972 startled the World by saying the “Smoke of satan” had entered the Catholic church he was NOT talking about Catholics or the Catholic faith itself:he was talking about the Church Administrators…these are the sort of men like the pro-NWO,islam-pandering master of Jesuitical sophistry,Smiley Joe Bergolio,a man who is openly promoting Heresy and Apostasy within the Catholic Church, which the cardinals KNOW he is doing.The sort of men who used powerful lawyers to block investigations into the ABOMINATION of Child abuse,knowingly moved pederasts around the country etc..ALL that is condemned by the Gospel!!
“Catholics” like the late Cardinal Law…
Many catholics have left:some to the Eastern Orthodox who at least have KEPT much of what was discarded in the RCC.
Catholics won’t get it unless they note that this is something warned about in Fatima 1917:WHY it is happening is to do with preparing the way for the coming to power of the one mentioned in 2 thessalonians 2{although most won’t want to know that}There is a belief that the man mentioned,the FALSE CHRIST{or ‘antichist’ to some} comes to power with the help of the forces of antiChrist{that would be the RED-GREEN-DHIMMI axis,the Lefties-islamists-naive Christians}..perhaps just as hitler used various groups to help him come to power.That 2 Thess 2 will come to pass whether you want to know it or not:it does explain WHY …
This “pope” has been condemned by many:even fellow Cardinals.When I was a kid I loved going to Church:incense,Gregorian Chant,respectful devotion…awesome!….and all thrown out after Vatican 2{My local parish priest once BANNED Christmas Carols..then one day he comes to my house looking for money to support the church despite the fact that I didn’t go to his church and my father had told me he refused to allow lay people to inspect his accounts…the clergyman was an obstacle to the faith..}
The modern Novus Ordo{!} mass appals many catholics:the last time I went ,the service was interrupted for about 20 mins as the smiley priest took time out to shake everybody’s hand,as if it was merely a social gathering and not the Holy Sacrifice I was taught it was as a kid.Then the money baskets go around[a few times}and placed..at the foot of ….the altar…
And the Smiley Bishops wonder why their churches are empty!they are more concerned about Global warming,hiding pederasts and virtue-signalling pandering to islam and illegal immigrants than they are to the plight of catholics.
Asia Bibi,a catholic woman persecuted in Pakistan:The Vatican’s response?
“It’s an Internal Matter{ for the Pakistanis}”
It’s very difficult for Catholics to practice their faith today BECAUSE of the men who run the church and this appaling “pope”:there are Catholic web sites that can explain and assist..
It might be hard for many to see behind the smiley facade of this man in Rome,a man who famously said that the koran “is opposed to every form of violence”,something which the Gospel doesn’t claim to be:{spoiler alert}their are scenes of graphic violence in the Gospel..
What you see under “francis 1” is the fulfillment of what Pope Paul VI{a genuine pope} was talking about:the “smoke of satan” is at the top of the RCC.
If there is any doubt about that look at what this NWO “pope” is teaching and refer to Catholic prophecies:it is happening because God needs to separate the Faithful Wheat from the Unfaithful chaff.
The Faithful Wheat will not be deceived and do their best to KEEP their catholic faith despite the best efforts of Rome and the Senior RCC clergymen to lead them astray.
Salah says
Irrelevant. This man is not the Pope.
To the true catholic, everything he says or does is irrelevant.

“St Francis was the apostle of the Ear”
said pope francis.
And “pope” francis appears to be the apostle of islam.
Or,the apostle of the Missing Earpiece.
{francis;”The Listening pope of the listening church” as the Vatican propagandists say,
“Asia Bibi ..?Cardinal mc Who?Jesus who?.Sorry, I can’t hear …I wasn’t listening..”
St francis of Assisi had a famous prophecy about a FALSE pope called “the Destroyer”.
Surely it couldn’t be the cunningly-named {to deflect attention from what he is doing and associate himself in the public mind with an actual Catholic,St Francis},pro-islam,promoter of heresy and apostasy within catholicism,”francis” could it?
He even has the same name as St Francis{the Builder of the Church}:what are the odds…?
francis{the Destroyer of the church}
John says
Great. The moon god encircling a ( excuse for ) cross. This about sums up the current situation facilitated by this egregiously awful Pope.
somehistory says
So, this “symbol” of the pope says a whole lot. It says that Christians, represented by the two crossed swords…are the violent ones. The “cross”(ed) swords seem to be bowing to the crescent of islam…suggesting that Christians bow to moslims as superior.
And the crescent of islam…is surrounding, and thereby nullifying, the “cross(ed)” swords that are meant to represent Christians. Nullifying and controlling.
Symbols are very powerful to the human mind, and are used to suggest what the maker wishes to convey to the observer. Much like beautiful women posed with new cars or action figures included with a box of cereal. There is power in advertising and this “symbol of the pope” is advertising.
pope what’s-his-unfaithfulness… pr creature and servant of satan.
Jay says
This current pope is a fraud and a one world order plant to disrupt Catholism as we know it!!
He is doing the devil’s work !! His history proves it! May God intervene and save the Catholic Church from
this progressive imposter and soon!
?????
Carol the 1st says
Let’s be fair! Could it be possible we’ve greatly misjudged Muhammad and therefore Francis may actually be on the right track?? A year ago a Dr. John Andrew Morrow, “a leader of religious and political leaders around the world”, somehow came up with this surprisingly “upbeat” article:
“Hallelujah! Recently Unearthed Islamic Texts Unlock the Prophet Muhammad’s Intentions”
https://johnandrewmorrow.com/2018/01/05/hallelujah-recently-unearthed-islamic-texts-unlock-the-prophet-muhammads-intentions/
I leave it to the audience.

Still waiting for the day when the Muslims invite the Pope to Mecca for that ceremony of washing his feet.

Pope Francis’s new Morocco logo implies submission to Islam
………………..
Yes–the cross is swallowed up by the crescent. *Ugh*.
Marigold says
Pope Francis is badly advised and a misguided optimist. The logo is totally unsuitable.The Christian Cross should stand alone.As a convert to Catholicism I am very disappointed in him but we have had bad popes before and the Church will survive this Papacy.
.As for John Paul 11 I think if he were alive today he would have changed his tune.Militant Islam was not so obviously on the march when he was Pope.He never failed to speak up against the evils of his time.He spoke often against abortion demanded by militant feminists. In fact George Negus once said that Pope John Paul 11 was on one of his” Right to life” tours. He had also lived under both Communism and Nazism and spoke out against both.It was mainly due to him that the Iron Curtain fell. When he said there is seeds of truth in Islam he wasn’t wrong altogether as there probably is .That is why they gain so many followers. Like Communism and Nazism, although not religions, they also had seeds of truth.That is why both came to power .Only that which has the full truth will last and that is Christianity.

The Poope’s crescent version resembles it’s origins – the bloody red horns of Ball rising from Hell.
