Will his Islamic “friends” allow him to decline? Will he even wish to decline?
More comments from me on this below.
“Hagia Sophia: Pope’s Interfaith Time Bomb,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, July 22, 2020:
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – Greece’s president is urging Pope Francis to condemn the Islamic takeover of Hagia Sophia a day after Turkey’s radical Islamic president made a counteroffer inviting the pontiff to attend the Byzantine basilica’s reopening as a mosque on July 24.
Turkish presidential spokesman İbrahim Kalın revealed Sunday that Pope Francis was among the guests invited to attend the reversion of Hagia Sophia to its status as a mosque conquered by Sultan Mehmet II in 1453.
Greece’s president Katerina Sakellaropoulou, however, phoned the pontiff Monday, calling for the move to be “explicitly and unequivocally condemned.” The progressive judge, known for her leftwing positions on ecology and same-sex unions, asked Francis to help her raise international support on revoking Turkey’s decision.
“I asked @Pontifex to use his influence to raise the awareness of the international community about the conversion of #HagiaSophia into a mosque. I stressed that this decision by Turkey undermines the foundations of tolerance and deepens the rift between cultures and religions,” 62-year-old Sakellaropoulou tweeted.
“Pope Francis is now caught in a massive dilemma of his own making,” distinguished Islamic historian Robert Spencer told Church Militant. “He has for the entire span of his pontificate assiduously courted the goodwill of Muslims, and Muslim leaders have praised him for his defense of Islam.”
“So it’s entirely reasonable for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to invite him and think he will be delighted to attend and serve as the Turkish president’s trophy of the surrender and submission of Christianity,” Spencer pointed out.
Pope Francis is now caught in a massive dilemma of his own making.TweetSpencer, author of the bestselling The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, described the trap Francis had created for himself:
If Pope Francis does attend, however, he will insult and offend millions of Christians, Catholic and non-Catholic who wonder why he hasn’t stood up for Christianity the way he has for Islam and why he would attend a ceremony that commemorates what Erdoğan believes is the triumph of Islam over Christianity and its superiority to Christianity.
“If Francis doesn’t go, he risks offending his Muslim friends and supporters. If he does go, he risks offending Christians worldwide. There is no pleasing everyone,” Spencer observed.
Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, also noted that the pontiff’s “Human Fraternity declaration with the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar has not brought about harmony between the two religions, nor will it — and now he is caught between reality and the bland fictions he has propagated about Islam being peaceful.”
Meanwhile, Greece’s president is slamming “the decision of the Turkish leadership to turn Hagia Sophia into a mosque” as “a profoundly provocative act against the international community.”
“It brutally insults historical memory, undermines the value of tolerance, and poisons Turkey’s relations with the entire civilized world,” she fumed.Spencer told Church Militant he was expecting Francis “to ignore the Greek president’s appeal.”
“If the pope does answer, I’d expect he will say nothing about Hagia Sophia and instead enlarge upon how different faith traditions have to have mutual respect and engage in dialogue,” Spencer remarked.
The injunction to protect churches applies only to dhimmis — those who have surrendered to Islam, are subject to its rules and paying the jizya tax to their Muslim overlords….
J Morgan says
What an insult to Christianity. What’s the Pope to do? He hasn’t defended Christians in a long time, if ever.
Sabri S. says
Man, talk about cowardice and capitulation?!? That’s christianity for you…will you people now admit that the great religion of Islam was not spread by the sword alone, not in the past nor present…we absolutely love this useful idiot, that many of you worship more than Issa…i mean jesus…a pope of what?!? The same Roman empire that killed Jesus himself…now if we can only get rid of that ridiculous picture of a Roman soldier that you hold up as “jesus”, and replace him with the black man he was…i guess you infidels missed the part of “hair like lambs wool and feet like burnt bronze…the real Hebrews havent!! Allah u akbar!!!!
J Morgan says
Christianity is a personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. The Catholic Church has a lot of problems, the Pope being foremost. Jesus was Jewish and was recognized to look like a Jewish person by the woman at the well.

But this does show that Muslims despise dhimmis–their “interfaith” blatherings don’t make Muslims more peaceful–this just emboldens them to further violence.

No one worships the pope. This sort of ignorance would not be of much concern–lots of people are woefully ignorant of other faiths. The problem is that Muslims murder others for this ignorance.
Then, in case people are not familiar, this is the claim that Mary had an affair with a Roman officer behind Joseph’s back. But even Muslims believe in the virgin birth–in fact, many of Sabri S.’s own coreligionists would turn violent if they heard him flout Islamic scripture.
But he is so intent on ham-fistedly trying to humiliate Christians that he does not care.
Then, he is again claiming that all Jews were actually sub-Saharan Africans–never mind that this makes no sense whatsoever. The whole point of this claptrap is to insist that Jews are not really Jews, and so Muslims have the right to destroy Israel and slaughter them all.
Ugly, ugly stuff.
Wellington says
Ugly stuff indeed, gravenimage, but so very Islamic.

More proof, if any is needed, that all Abrahamic religions are utterly implausible.
mortimer says
Agree with GI: the conversion of HS ” … show that Muslims despise dhimmis–their “interfaith” blatherings don’t make Muslims more peaceful–this just emboldens them to further violence”.
However, the pope thought he could win through discussion. The pope deludes himself to think that Islam contains the Golden Rule. Islam actually contains a number of intentional contradictions to the Golden Rule … such as the 164 jihad verses.
The conversion of HS is LEGAL JIHAD or the JIHAD OF THE PEN.
It is the culmination of the genocide against Christians in Turkey.

……………………..
The native peoples of the Levant are not black–they are light to medium olive-skinned. Does Sabri S. believe that Syrians, Lebanese, and Jordanians are also black? Good lord…
The Romans did not think Levantines were southern Africans, either. Since Sub-Saharan Africans and Australian Aborigines are the only people considered black, Sabri S.’s saying that he does not mean this now makes no sense.

Note that there is nothing that he can point to that I have said that is untrue.
That Sabri S. passes for a “scholar” among Muslims is sad–but scarcely surprises.

To second Terry Gain, Sabri S., it’s virtually a given that Muslims demonstrate again and again when they defend Islam that they will invariably reveal how obnoxious their belief system is.
You never fail in this regard. Congratulations.
And may your fictional Allah strike me dead tonight if I have gotten things wrong here.
Be back soon. Like tomorrow or the next day because, Sabri S., there is no Allah.

True, but pointless.
Muslims are taught to believe absolutely anything, as long as Allah or Muhammad said it.

Sabri, I guess you missed the part about the hair being white LIKE lamb’s wool … the point being that the hair was WHITE and this is a description of a vision of Christ as seen by John. Also, the feet of Jesus are described as burnished bronze as it burns in a furnace. Guess, what … when bronze is heated in a furnace it turns WHITE. Now, the eyes of Jesus are described as being red and those eyes are able to see through fools like you, Sabri. When it is your turn to have your talk with Jesus He just may appear to you in this same manner, so burn the description into your little brain, little Sabri, because Jesus does not want you to burn forever in Hell though you seem intent upon it.
Sabri S. says
You mean Issa the islamic prophet right?…how idiotic to claim that burned bronze turns white. Do the experiment, it turns black as coal and produces a soot-type residue – which is also BLACK!….are you some ignorant country hick in the mountains of amercia somewhere.
CogitoErgoSum says
Little Sabri, no, I mean Jesus, the Son of God, the Christ, whom you will someday have to stand before and beg that He not send you to Hell for the hate you obviously have in your heart for anyone who is white. Bronze does indeed turn white when it is heated as hot as it can get. Have you ever seen anything turn black when it is heated? Things turn black only after they have been taken from the heat and then cooled. Is your brain so tiny it cannot even understand that?
If you want to think of me as some hick living on a mountain in the United States, you go right ahead. I love this country and its people. Even the hicks over here are smarter than you are. The whole point of that description of Christ as seen by John in Revelation is to show the purity of Christ. White, and especially a white that glows, is free of impurity. It would be as stupid as you are to have Christ appear white as lambs wool but with black feet. Black is symbolic of evil and impurity – just as your mind must be as dark and black as a lump of cold coal buried in the mud. Man, you are stupid.
CogitoErgoSum says
Just for fun here is a video of how to make an Egyptian Bronze Age sword. See how white the molten metal looks when it is poured into the mold. The metal never looks black at all even when it has cooled. Once it has been burnished it reflects a brilliant white light when it is held aloft to catch the rays of the sun. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to look directly upon it due to its brightness. See for yourself:

Bronze is an alloy of zinc and copper. Zinc burns colorless (or white), and Copper bluish green.

But perhaps Sabri S. has been going around burning statues–in which case, he may see them burning black due to dirt and surface patina.
The Istanbulian says
Oh so you mean like Seth Rogan? Cool.

Who is Seth Rogan?

He is an American comic actor, CogitoErgoSum.
He is Jewish and does indeed have “wooly” hair.
I guess Sabri S. has never heard of a “Jewfro”…
CogitoErgoSum says
Oh, yeah, I found some pictures of him. Unless he has changed drastically his hair is not white and none of the pictures I see have given him the red-eye effect. Plus, he wears glasses. Why would Jesus need glasses? He looks nothing like the description of Jesus in the Book of Revelation. That comparison is just stupid.
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
You mean the WWE wrestler Seth Rawlin????
Peter Carroll says
Sabri. Can you explain to me, (a Christian but not a Roman Catholic), why Jesus Christ, the Messiah, God the Son, is to return, and not your Prophet?
FYI says
@Sabri s
the muslim jesus: ‘the black man he was’
A black Jesus eh?
I’d have no problem with that except you see,Jesus Christ was JEWISH{ John 4 v 22}and so would have been from the area that is Israel.
Well now:do YOU know who definitely was NOT a black man sabri s?
Can you guess?Alright i’ll tell you.
YOUR ‘prophet’ muhammed,{“the black man he wasn’t”.. no way!}
“Ahmad ibn Sulayman,sahnun’s companion said that whoever says the prophet is BLACK is KILLED.
THE PROPHET WAS NOT BLACK”
Ash Shifa of Qadi Lyad pg 387
{Don’t insult muhammad by daring to say he was black?wow! Don’t tell the BLM people..}
So a Black Jesus is OK but a Black muhammed is NOT OK according to your own islamic sources since to say muhammed was black is the WORST INSULT possible,one that deserved execution.It seems craig considine might be wrong about mo and his followers being ‘anti-racist’ doesn’t it?
{Wait a minute:are Arabs RACIST?What would be the problem with muhammed being a BLACK MAN ….unless.. in islam the color black is associated with SIN{in islam satan is black and the black stone is black because of all the sins which are..black}Oh dear!}
You muslims just never get Irony do you?
The islamic apologists who post here are simply hilarious and are not the brightest bulbs on the infidel christmas tree.
sabri s the muslim tells us black Jesus is OK yet a black muhmamed is NOT Ok as it is considered an insult in islam to say mo was black.
{mo we remember, was the owner,buyer and seller of black African slaves so to say he was black is to associate him with those he considered so inferior that he sold them at the rate of 2 Africans for the price of one non -African see SAHIH MUSLIM 3901}
abdool the jester:muhammed was a fat cross dressing polygamous nonce*who flew around the clouds on a magical winged flying donkey called buraq.So there.
The muslims:grrr..still, we cannot deny what our own islamic sources say can we..?
abdool the jester:the ‘prophet’ muhammed was a BLACK MAN and he..
The muslims;allahu akbar,allahu akbar!kill him for he has said the WORST thing anybody could say about our beloved ‘prophet’.what an INSULT to say muhammed was a BLACK MAN.
*muhammed’s perfect Herculean physique described {Abu Dawud 40:4731}
muhammed the cross dresser{Sahih Bukhari 54:7:2442}{note:the Arabic tends to be fiddled by islamic apologists to hide such awkward facts.What once was Aisha’s DRESS mo wore is now a sheet..which actually might be appropriate given he was an Arab version of a white supremacist}

Reziac says
Actually, no — before Islam invaded, the peoples of the Levant and North Africa were neither brown nor black, but more related to the Celts and Greeks (who in ancient times were famously blond) — and that’s per DNA evidence, not wishful thinking.
john smith says
Sabri,you seem to have all the quintessential ingredients of being a very good Muslim. Your arrogance,your hatred towards us Infidels,are just two of the many Islamic virtues I’m sure you possess.
Have you ever thought for just one moment, that you could be wrong.
Have you ever thought that hatred,lying,and deceiving,are not actually virtues,but love,truth and honesty really are.I doubt it, but please try and give it some thought. After all Sabri,as I’m sure you know, Allah is the greatest of all deceivers, and it also happens to be one of his 99 names, but in the bible Satan is the greatest of all deceivers.I suggest you take a serious look at these names because many of Allah;s names,are names given to Satan in the Bible. Name10 Al-Mutakabbir “The most proud”Satan was cast out of heaven because of his pride.(IsaiahI4;12-15) (Ezekiel 28:11-19)Name 61 Al-Mummit “The Destroyer”(1 Corinthians 10:10) These are just a few examples there are many more, but doesn’t The Destroyer seam a very appropriate name for “The Creator”.
I could give you many examples of Allah being Satan,the evidence is overwhelming, but I’m sure it would fall on deaf ears.
Sabri,you are being fooled by the greatest of all deceivers Allah (Satan) who is after your soul,I will pray for you.Good luck.
Edmund says
Yea, Islam is great, but in numbers. The same greatness had fascism and communism. What it offers ? Slavery to some “godness”, which commanded to get rid of all “infdiels”. We have XXI century and such barbaric dellusions are only regrettable.
Time will pass and this all Allah stuff will perish like all others so called “gods” like Odin, Zeus and company. A new “gods” will arise. It’s sure, becouse people have great imagination.

Meanwhile Islam’s most authoritative body of scholars at Al Azhar University has condemned the takeover of Hagia Sophia, but the pusillanimous pope has not.

CogitoErgoSum says
The man in the video speaks of the washing of hands. We shall see if the Pope washes his hands of this matter. Will his desire to remain Islam’s friend override his sense of justice in this matter? Will he have learned any thing at all from Peter who, when leaving Rome, met Christ on His way TO Rome and asked the question of his Lord, “Quo vadis (where are you going)? Christ responded that He was on his way to Rome to be crucified again. So Peter turned around and followed Him. But will Francis answer the same question with, “I am on my way to Istanbul to give the Hagia Sofia away to the Muslims?” I think he will respond simply with silence (and a sad look on his face).
Murad says
I am terrified that he(pope) might go. Just think about erdogan’s satanic cleverness and pope utter stupidity: If erdogan knew pope would not go, he would not waste his invitation. A slap in the face: Look pope you claim Jesus is the savior, did He save your city. We besieged it 55 days, your Jesus did not save the formidable surrounding walls. Plus allah sent a hurricane that helped out warships and drowned your infidel ships: Proof allah prefers us and hates infidels.

Do you think Pagans are in love with islam like this chattering pope ? Pagans are the most suffered group from the vicious attacks of islam. Especially islam destroyed the Ancient Pagan Arabic religion and culture. You have no right to say this coward pope is a Pagan.
European pagan says
I am a pagan who hates Islam. Real Turkish religion is tengrism. Today there are not too many Turkish people who know what is that. But there are Turkish people who call their dogs ‘Arap’ (it means arab) ??
I love Iblis says
I am glad there are still Pagans, especially in the Europe, which continent Pagans were suppressed by both christians and muslims. Personally, I am a polytheistic Satanist, so I’m a Pagan too. I think start of a Pagan Revival in the Europe can lead peoples of other continents to revolt against islam. The main purpose of the European people should be to return to their Pagan origins. Because European countries have the freedom to do this. And I think christianity was invented to prepare the environment for Islam. If you turn your other cheek when you are slapped, Muslims occupy your land. Christianity weakened the Roman Empire and then handed it over to islam.
Tengrism is also a polytheistic religion. Those who call Tengrism a monotheistic religion are charlatans who want to try to put the Tengrists, who are few in Russia and China, into islam or christianity.
And I think it’s wrong for people to call their dogs as “Arab”. Because I think the people that islam has done the most damage are Arabs. At the time when Arabs were Pagans, the Arabs worshiped three female goddesses. Now, women are persecuted in the arabian peninsula. However, I can still understand that Turks call their dogs as arab. Because muslim arabs massacred Tengrist and Buddhist Turks and forced them to convert to islam.

The “listening Pope” has his ear to the railway track of Islam as Christians were being killed or pushed into third class status in the Middle East,Africa, Asia and Europe and has failed to listen to their cries he has failed to listen.The train of Islam is ready to run over his “status “as a world class leader!

Yes,it is a clear calculated insult to Christians:The wannabe ottoman emperor erdolf struts around like a peacock ,the STOLEN property of the Hagia Sophia ,as he imagines this is a great victory for islam and no doubt puts on a public show of ‘prayer’ to his Arab god allah,the Great Sultan in the Sky.
But one day the emperor erdolf will die as we all must:he will be expecting his islamic god allah to be the Judge
{a god whose greatest enemy is a MAN called ‘the king of kings’ SAHIH MUSLIM VOL5 HADITH #5611}
Yes,allah’s enemy is a MAN called ‘the king of kings’;allah,remember, is the god who CURSES Christians for following Jesus Christ.k9:30 allah is clearly anti-CHRIST.
erdolf and his fraudulently pious muslims ‘pray’ to this false god ‘allah’ who even ADMITS to being a champion at deception {koran 3:54}but muslims of course cannot get the BIG HINT.
But it will not be allah {“the greatest of deceivers allahu khayru-i- makireena” k3:54} who will judge erdolf’s corrupt islamic soul.
It will be that MAN called “the King of Kings” ,a MAN also known as Jesus Christ{the HAGIA SOPHIA}
Jesus Christ the HAGIA SOPHIA:the One whose church erdolf’s muslims STOLE.
The ONE appointed to be the judge of the very muslims who ‘pray’ in HIS church which they STOLE from the Christians.
The One who will judge erdogan.
And to add insult to these idiotic muslims,Jesus Christ is JEWISH{John 4 v22}
muslims get to be judged by a JEW:Jesus Christ the HAGIA SOPHIA.
They really are not smart enough to see that are they?
BTW I suspect erdolf is possibly one of those kings mentioned in Revelations:the book that tells us who is the MAN called the “king of Kings”{=Jesus Christ Revs 19:16}
The prophetic outlook isn’t good for these kings…so christians need not be TOO bothered by this apparent islamic victory.
Read Biblical prophecy:the bad guys LOSE.
SAFI says
I was recently doing some reading on the history of the Papacy. Pius II (Pope 1458-1464) is known to have wrote exhaustive refutations of Islam. In 1463 we sent a long eloquent letter (/ultimatum) to Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II explaining Christianity and inviting him to convert. When Mehmet declined he declared war on the Ottomans and preached a Crusade to retake Constantinople. Unfortunately he fell sick with fever and died in Ancona while waiting for the ships that would transport him and his army to Dyrrachium (yes, he wanted to conduct the Crusade in person).
I guess Francis is a far cry from Pius II and other Popes of that era.
John says
You forget to mention Pope Callixtus III. His army partially led by San Juan Capistrano saved Europe in 1456 at todays Serbian Hungarian border from being over run by the Muslim army. This was three years after the fall of Constantinople.
Now you know why the Hungarians do not want any mass migration of these people into their country.

The pope should go to the unveiling of the Hagia Sophia as A mosque, to show that he is willing to do anything and everything for peace. He supports pressuring the Jews of Israel to surrender the Temple on the Mount location to the muslims, so, in A display of leadership, he should offer the calif of islam, or the closest muslim to it, the sisteen chappel in rome to convert to A mosque, in an act of sympathy and leadership by example, for attempting to get the Jews of Israel to surrender the Temple on the Mount. In G-d I trust.

Nothing new in Turkey. Happened in many places
Kashi Vishwanath Temple a Hindu Temple in Varanasi India was destroyed by the Mongol Emperor and a Mosque was built on top of it.The remains of the Hindu temple can be seen in the foundation, the columns and the rear part of the mosque.Still used as a mosque today.
Despite the request by Hindus in India to return the mosque to Hindus to be used as a temple it has not happened.

Of course they want the Pope to be there. It’s their chance to humiliate and mock the leader of the Catholics, indeed all Christians. Kind of like digging one’s own grave.

A massive dilemma indeed. What are you going to do, Francis!
OLD GUY says
The DEVIL is vary deceiving and tries always to draw you into to his den. For us Catholics lets hope our Pope makes the correct decision. I know Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek, but we are also allowed to protect our lives when threatened and defend ourselves. Islam is the enemy and is attacking Christians all around the world with deadly force. It is time for our Pope to acknowledge that fact and speak out against the aggression and murder of his followers and all others being persecuted by the Muslim/Islamic evil doers.
vcragain says
Nothing more silly than to just trust those who were an enemy from the beginning of their group’s creation. While they are all about killing those who refuse to join, Christ was all about loving your enemy – no 2 belief systems were ever so opposed to each other ! Millions of people just grow up in this ‘faith’ not knowing anything else, taught that the guy who started it all is somehow ‘Godly’ – when he was a warmonger-in-chief, the whole thing is really sad but dangerous for the rest of humanity ! The Pope has erred on the side of trying to be ‘Christian’ towards others, while letting down his guard on watching out for evil to push it’s way into ever further influence. No visit by the Pope – the Istanbul church has been stolen !

This Pope is a globalist joke.

He should accept the invitation. He should go. In fact, he should speak at it. After all, this is the man who thinks Islam is equivalent to Christianity, and that the Koran is equal to the Bible.
This is the man who warmly welcomed as a soulmate Barack Obama, who used the power of his office to favor the introduction of Islam into the USA, but showed his hatred for Donald Trump, who is trying to limit the power Muslims have in the USA.

The pope would not like to offend his Muslim friends and dialogue partners. He may attend in person or he may choose to be represented at the highest level. Whether that will offend Christians, including Roman Catholics is of no concern for him as he is anyway offending them on a daily basis.
The pope aside it may be useful for any Christian to revisit church history and compare Roman Catholic doctrine and liturgy with the gospel as well as with the Chaldean pagan tradition to note the similarities with either and then draw conclusions in respect of the nature of the Roman Catholic church.
A re-reading of the Old Testament, including Jeremiah may reveal some new perspectives.
This exercise may even cast light on Pope Francis’ attitude to Islam.
