When there are moderates to be found, they have to be invented, so as to shore up the illusory and self-defeating “dialogue” that has not saved a single Christian from Muslim persecution (or any persecution). “Vatican Woos Funder of Islamic Terrorism,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, November 27, 2020: JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (ChurchMilitant.com) – The Vatican is […]
Europe’s top cardinal says ‘Prophet Muhammad would have been ashamed of the attack in Nice’
Are people like Jean-Claude Hollerich engaged in a massive campaign of deception, or of self-deception, or of both? In any case, the fog of willful ignorance around this man is so thick, it’s a wonder he can even breathe. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, […]
Bangladesh: Catholic bishop says that Muhammad cartoons are ‘an unforgivable injustice’
Submission and surrender in response to violent threats only encourages more violent threats. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “President Cancels Prelate on Mocking Islam,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, November 5, 2020: PARIS (ChurchMilitant.com) – A prominent French bishop is […]
Archbishop Le Gall Genuflects to Islam
The Archbishop of Toulouse, Robert Le Gall, has weighed in on Macron’s defense of freedom of expression and the subsequent world-wide Muslim rage against him. And the Archbishop, instead of supporting Macron, and that freedom that the French hold dear, has come down on the side of thin-skinned, murderous Muslims. The story is here: “Prophet […]
France: Archbishop says ‘There are limits to freedom of expression, we do not have the right to insult religions’
By these words, Robert Le Gall is signaling that violent intimidation works, and thereby condemning future generations of Catholics to precarious lives of cowering before their Sharia-enforcing overlords. Oh, that will never happen and could never happen in France, right? Maybe not, but by enabling and encouraging threats meant to enforce Sharia blasphemy laws, Robert […]
Catholic scholar falsely claims that Muhammad responded non-violently to those who mocked him
Craig Considine depends upon the ignorance of his audience about Islam. “Catholic Scholar Spins Jihadi Beheading,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, October 19, 2020: PARIS (ChurchMilitant.com) – A Catholic sociologist is whitewashing Muhammad’s violent response to people who mocked him as thousands rallied across France Sunday to honor a schoolteacher who was beheaded for showing cartoons of Muhammad […]
William Kilpatrick Speaks about What Catholics Need to Know about Islam
Leading Catholic commentator William Kilpatrick recently spoke to Jihad Watch contributor Andrew E. Harrod on the Conservative Casual Friday blogtalk radio show about his new book, What Catholics Need to Know about Islam.
Catholic apologist: Allah, Trinity refer to same God
In response to Tim Staples’ article here, I sent these three points to Church Militant: 1. Mr. Staples argues at great length that the Vatican II statement that God’s plan of salvation includes Muslims means only that God desires them to be saved. No Christian could possibly disagree with that, and that is not what […]
William Kilpatrick Makes the Catholic Case for Counter-Jihad
The Catholic Church is “like a sleeping giant—a powerful force for good that is asleep to the dangers posed by Islam’s stealth advance,” writes leading Catholic commentator William Kilpatrick in his new book, What Catholics Need to Know about Islam. He provides essential reading for both Catholics and others about the West’s historic and newly […]
Pope Condemns Death Penalty While Praising Pro-Death Penalty Imam
My latest in PJ Media: In his new encyclical Fratelli Tutti, the Woke Pope casts aside 2,000 years of unbroken tradition and declares: “Today we state clearly that ‘the death penalty is inadmissible’ and the Church is firmly committed to calling for its abolition worldwide.” That’s just great, but there’s one little catch. In the […]
Pope’s new encyclical praises imam who supports wife-beating and death penalty for apostates
This is what interfaith dialogue leads to, at least for the Christian side: total capitulation, the relativization of the faith, and the holding of contradictory ideas. The fruit of the dialogue between Muslims and Catholics has not been the protection of Christians in Muslim countries, but a silence from the Catholic Church on this persecution. […]
What Catholics Need to Know About Islam: An Interview with William Kilpatrick
William Kilpatrick, who taught for many years at Boston College and is the author of several books about cultural and religious issues, has an important new book out, What Catholics Need to Know About Islam. He was kind enough to answer a few questions I asked him about it: Robert Spencer: You speak a good […]
Cardinal Says Devout Joe Biden Is Actually a Bad Catholic. Would the Pope Agree?
My latest in PJ Media: Is the ostentatiously devout Catholic Joe Biden, who wore a Rosary (or was it wire?) on his wrist while debating Donald Trump, really a bad Catholic? Prolife Catholics have been saying so for years, and now a leading bishop has spoken up on their side. The Catholic News Agency reported […]
Pope Francis says migrants are ‘like Jesus, forced to flee’
As the Pope celebrates “the World Day of Migrants and Refugees,” he lumps all migrants together, demonstrating the unity of his perspective with that of his fellow globalists and the same determination they display to advance the cause of open borders. He has been completely ignoring the reality of economic migrants and of jihadis infiltrating […]
Italy: Top Muslim leader says Judaism and Christianity are ‘manipulation of original messages of prophets’
Yassine Baradai is simply enunciating standard Islamic theology, which holds that all the Biblical prophets were Muslims (cf. Qur’an 3:67, which says it about Abraham), and that their wayward followers then twisted and hijacked their teachings to create Judaism and Christianity. But the Pope and the Italian Catholic bishops either don’t know this or are […]
Italy: Muslim who murdered and attempted to behead priest is from ‘Islamic hotbed,’ Pope calls him a ‘headache’
In mid-September, Jihad Watch reported that a Muslim migrant had stabbed a pro-migrant priest to death, and that police had rejected bishops’ claim that killer was mentally ill. Even worse, “Roberto Bernasconi, president of the Como section of pro-migrant Catholic charity Caritas, blamed the ‘tragedy’ on the anti-migrant ‘climate of hatred and intolerance that is […]
Catholic spokesman evades question about whether Catholics and Muslims worship the same God
Tim Staples can’t be faulted for this. The problem lies not with him, but with the false teachings of Vatican II about Islam, which put Catholics in an impossible position. There are numerous reasons why Catholics and Muslims do not worship the same God. I explain some below, and more here. But the ecumenical council […]
Catholic jurist slams Charlie Hebdo for reprinting Muhammad cartoons, warns of ‘dangerous or negative’ consequences
No one seems to consider the primary risk of bowing to death threats and violent intimidation: it only encourages more. Does Giuseppe Dalla Torre want Catholics of future generations to live on their knees, bowing to every threat? Apparently so. “Jurist Parrots Pope: ‘Don’t Mock Muhammad,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, September 14, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) […]
Pope’s New Encyclical to Praise Jihad Terror Supporter as Example of ‘Peace’ and ‘Fraternity’
My latest in PJ Media: Pope Francis’ new encyclical, Fratelli tutti: sulla fraternità e l’amicizia sociale (“All Brothers: On Fraternity and Social Friendship”) will be issued on October 3, the Vatican confirmed Saturday. According to Church Militant, the encyclical is “a sequel to his controversial Abu Dhabi pact with Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayyeb last year, […]
Germany: NGO brings illegal Muslim migrants to Europe, with help from the Catholic Church
A group of Muslims in Germany recently declared a Sharia zone and forbade all unbelievers to enter, while threatening to murder infidels and police. But that isn’t enough for Germany, a country which has been plagued by sex assaults, rising crime rates, no-go zones and increasing antisemitism — all linked to uncontrolled Muslim migration. Now […]
