New in PJ Media:
Another Ramadan is upon us, and as is always the case, the eager-to-be-fooled infidels are out in force. A Catholic diocese in Italy has just called upon priests and laypeople to seek out opportunities to participate in Ramadan observances, as a gesture of goodwill toward Muslims. When will Muslim leaders tell Muslims to participate in Christian worship to show friendship with Christians? Don’t hold your breath.
The Catholic Herald reported Friday that the Italian diocese of Bergamo is “instructing its priests to participate in Islamic rituals, citing Pope Francis’ directives on interreligious dialogue.” Diocesan officials issued a directive “urging priests to seek out opportunities for interreligious dialogue during the ‘holy month’ of Ramadan by inviting the faithful to join in praying with Muslims and joining in the Iftar ritual meal.”
This directive was the handiwork of Fr. Massimo Rizzi, who is the director of the diocese’s Office for Interreligious Dialogue. Fr. Rizzi is such a hip, up-to-date, Church-of-what’s-happening-now type of priest that he even went so far as to give this letter the date 23 Sha’ban 1445. He wasn’t trying to fool anyone into thinking that the directive had been written nearly six hundred years ago; the date he gave was that of last Monday according to the Islamic calendar.
Given Fr. Rizzi’s clearly firm commitment to multiculti pieties, it’s no surprise that is directive is also heavily larded with today’s fashionable cant and blather. He asks Catholics to pray for “a continuous realization of all the dimensions that make up humanity desired by the Creator,” as well as for “continuous growth in the dialogue between peoples and different faiths.”
Yeah, we gotta keep that dialogue growing. Fr. Rizzi was, however, too busy racing to the multicultural mountaintop to take the time to explain that dialogue’s effects. Why do so few Christians in the West speak out about the rampant persecution of Christians in the Islamic world? Because they don’t want to harm the “dialogue.”
Yet this “dialogue” has not saved one single Christian from being murdered. Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Mass., said it on Feb. 8, 2013, as he was suppressing a planned talk (by me) at a Catholic conference on that persecution: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.”
Remember also that Mohamed Atta, about the plane he had hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001, told passengers over the intercom: “Stay quiet and you’ll be okay.” The Catholic Church appears to have adopted that statement as its policy regarding Muslim persecution of Christians.
There is more. Read the rest here.

As if the true believers want the kuffar to be ruining their iftars.

It is sad to see the Catholic faith hollowed out and lifeless. The cancer is up and down the church hierarchy. In the US, Catholic Charities is the 2nd largest NGO implementing the grand replacement within the refugee and asylum racket. Pure evil in America, Canada and Europe.

And everyone opposes accused for far right and through corrupt justice lands in jail. Tested with success in Greece and tried in USA. WEF moves the strings.

Catholic priests were allways pro Aish… errrr pro muslim I mean..

Why this kind moron bishop don’t get corrections from other bishops and cardinals? Why Catholics are forgetting that Muhammad had no qualification to be even a prophet?

Jesus said that to ‘the one given much, much would be demanded.’ These pretend ‘shepherds’ are misleading the ‘sheep’ with their lies, falsehoods, and misapplication of Scripture. Much will be demanded of them.
The Law was given to Israel (the Jews or Hebrews as they were called) and up until the time when Jesus came, as promised, they were God’s chosen to set an example of what He wanted.
When Jesus came, He made changes as to what would now be required because “He fulfilled the Law.” The priests, the pharisees and Sadducees didn’t want to go along with the changes because it meant they wouldn’t have the same position, power and prestige they enjoyed.
They decided that Jesus had to stop preaching or die. When this decision was made, how did God’s Son react? He didn’t try to placate, appease, or share their ideas, taking back the Truth He had spoken. He spoke outright, telling them they were “serpents, offspring of vipers, whitewashed graves full of dead men’s bones, and dirty cups full of uncleanness.” He also said to them, “You are doing the desires of your father,” and plainly said who was their ‘father.’ “You are from your father, the devil.”
But the *leaders* of churches today do not listen to Jesus or follow His example. Instead of calling mozlums what they are, the ‘leaders’ and “false shepherds” have a “dialogue and sit down to eat at the table, and drink the cup, of demons”.
These “false shepherds” are refusing to study God’s Word and apply it. They are making things up as they go along to get along and they are the ones of whom Jesus warned His disciples. “Wolves in sheep’s clothing will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness.” “False Christs and false shepherds will arise and will mislead many.”
““Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.”
If Jesus stood before them today, as He stood before the leaders of the Jews, what would He say to them? He told us.
“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you evildoers!’”
We don’t have to guess as to whether it is Christian to do as these ‘leaders’ are doing and telling others to do. All we have to do is read what Jesus said and act accordingly.
Do Christians wish to remain Christian, or do some wish to become the devil’s children and be told to “Get away” from, and by, Jesus?

Another excellent post, somehistory.

Thank you very much, James.

How dare you call yourself a religious leader, Read Sayyid Qutb, the revered Muslim leader:
“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 may mix with each other, but only so that the people of the Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam, whether they reside in a so-called Islamic country and consider themselves Muslims or they are outside the ‘Islamic’ country, in order that they may come out of the darkness into the light and rid of their miserable condition, and enjoy those blessings which we have tasted — we who have understood Islam and live in its atmosphere”
“The foremost duty of Islam in this world is to depose Jahiliyyah from the leadership of man, and it to take the leadership into its own hands and enforce a particular way of life which is a permanent feature”.
“The reasons for Jihad which have been described in the above verses are these:
to establish God’s authority in the earth;
to arrange human affairs according to the true guidance provided by God;
to abolish all the Satanic forces and Satanic systems of life;
to end the lordship of one man over others, since all men are creatures of God and no one has the authority to make them his servants or to make arbitrary laws for them. These reasons are sufficient for proclaiming Jihad.
“We need not rationalize Islam to them, need not appease their desires and distorted concepts. we will be extremely outspoken with them.”
Michael Paul Skok says
Holy Father in Heaven,
Please destroy Islam soon.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
