For the Catholic Church today, it’s the Muslim-Christian dialogue above all things. Unwelcome truths are not be enunciated. Here is the reality of the situation in Nigeria: the article “A genocide against Christians is silently unfolding in Nigeria,” by Kester Kenn Klomegah in Modern Diplomacy, August 28, 2020, states this: The International Society for Civil […]
Pope Francis to double down on his false statements on Islam, issue encyclical based on Abu Dhabi declaration
Pope Francis has made the risible claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” Although this is not and could not ever be a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, it is assumed to be some kind of superdogma by the Catholic hierarchy worldwide, superseding […]
Turkey’s appropriation of Chora church after Hagia Sophia shows Pope’s human fraternity document a massive failure
Here is the full statement I sent to Church Militant: The “Document on Human Fraternity” that Pope Francis signed with the Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed al-Tayeb, and is now aggressively pushing upon the Catholic Church, states that “the protection of places of worship – synagogues, churches and mosques – is a duty guaranteed by religions, […]
Pope and Muslim envoy push interfaith Abrahamic Family House
This is based on false assumptions and mistaken beliefs that could be quite damaging for the Christian side, as I explain below. But no dissent from the Pope’s ridiculous solicitude for Islamic supremacists and Sharia absolutists is allowed within the Catholic Church. “Pope, Muslim Envoy Push Interfaith Shrine,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, August 18, 2020: […]
Is the CCP Buying the Pope’s Silence On the Uighurs?
My latest in FrontPage: That tireless advocate for Islam, Pope Francis, is facing criticism for his uncharacteristic silence over a Muslim population that is actually suffering injustice and persecution: the Uighurs of China. ChurchMilitant.com reported Tuesday that Cardinal Charles Maung Bo, archbishop of Yangon, Myanmar, denounced “the potential genocide” of “one million Uighur and other […]
Francis, the ‘Pope of Islam,’ silent about China’s persecution of Muslim Uighurs
Dissident claims Chinese Communist Party pays Vatican $2 billion annually to keep shut [that is, quiet about the persecution of the Uighurs]. — June 29, 2020 That explains it. “China’s Genocide: Pope Silent, Prelates Speak,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, August 11, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – Pope Francis is being slammed for his silence on the […]
A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Bishop Walked into a Mosque…
To be precise, it was Ireland’s Croke Park Stadium, not a proper mosque, but what happened there was no joke. ChurchMilitant.com reported that on Friday, July 31, Ireland’s top Catholic prelate, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, “joined Muslims in celebrating a key Islamic festival which falsifies the Bible by declaring that the patriarch Abraham took Ishmael, not Isaac, to be sacrificed […]
Ireland: Leftists assault Catholics protesting archbishop’s participation in Muslim prayers for Eid al-Adha
In this event we see yet again the Catholic hierarchy’s endless solicitude for Muslims and Islam, and its disdain for actual Catholics. What is unusual in this case is that some Catholics stood up against this exercise in a self-defeating and pointless dialogue that has never saved one single Christian from Muslim persecution, or prevented […]
Ireland: Catholic bishop joins Muslims for Eid al-Adha, inadvertently reinforces idea that Bible has been corrupted
When Diarmuid Martin thinks of Abraham, he probably thinking of Genesis 22:15-18, in which Abraham is rewarded for his faith and told he will become a blessing to the nations: “by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.” But his Muslim friends don’t read Genesis. […]
Erdogan invites Pope Francis to opening of Hagia Sophia as a mosque
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 […]
Hagia Sophia, Pope Francis, and UNESCO
The U.S., Russia, Greece, the E.U., the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew, the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus’ Kirill, even the left-leaning Israel-demeaning World Council of Churches and many others, have expressed various degrees of “grief and dismay” at the announcement by Turkish President Erdogan that from now on, Hagia Sophia would no longer […]
Vatican top dog: Conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque “should not be put down to current Islamic aggression”
In reality, that’s exactly what it should be put down to. But Körner no doubt feels compelled to try to preserve Pope Francis’ fiction that “current Islamic aggression” has anything to do with the teachings of Islam itself. Accordingly, he has to ignore Erdogan’s explicit grounding of the conversion of Hagia Sophia in Islamic terms. […]
Pope Says He’s ‘Very Saddened’ Over Hagia Sophia – But Why?
My latest in PJ Media: On Sunday, Pope Francis broke his silence regarding the decision by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to convert Hagia Sophia, the foremost cathedral in the Christian world for nearly a thousand years, to a mosque. If you blinked, however, you might have missed it. “I think of Hagia Sophia,” the […]
Pope Francis: “I think of Hagia Sophia and I am very saddened”
As I stated to Church Militant, the Pope’s tardy statement manifests a studied ambiguity. What exactly is he saddened about? He doesn’t say. Is he saddened because what was the foremost church in the Christian world for nearly a millennium, and the center of Eastern Christianity, has been made a mosque? Or is he saddened […]
After Demonizing All Who Opposed Jihad Terror, Catholic Mag Wonders Why No One Speaks Out Against It
My latest in PJ Media: Last Thursday, the Jesuit periodical America sounded a dark note: “Are Nigeria’s Christians the target of a genocide? That is the conclusion of a number of religious freedom analysts and Nigerian clergy.” Yet the venerable Leftist Catholic magazine’s warning was veritably dripping with irony, for the same publication has for […]
America Magazine discovers Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria, wishes US and European bishops would speak out
Let’s take stock. In July 2020, the Jesuit magazine America has discovered that “Boko Haram Islamic militants have for years raged against minority Christian communities in northern Nigeria,” and now that their fellow Muslim Fulani cattle herders have also carried out “increasingly brutal attacks on Christian villages.” America magazine has even found that “Christians are […]
Pope calls on Europe to give Muslim migrants “the protection they need, a dignified condition and a hopeful future”
“Italian opposition party leader Maurizio Gasparri of Forza Italia called the influx an ‘invasion.’” Yes. See my comments below. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “Pope Seeks ‘Pathways’ for Muslim ‘Invasion,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, June 18, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) […]
Pope calls for “establishment of pathways” for hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants to settle in Europe
Muslim migrants should be seeking ways to settle in Islamic countries, not Europe. “Since the 2011 revolution, the Salafist current has been expanding across Libya, taking over mosques, opening schools and establishing media outlets.” These issues have no place in the EU. In the words of the Dalai Lama: With too many Muslim migrants, “the […]
Turkey’s move to convert Hagia Sophia to a mosque shows worthlessness of Pope/Grand Imam joint declaration
If the utter worthlessness of the “Human Fraternity Declaration” weren’t already clear, this makes it obvious to everyone except the most indefatigably willfully ignorant. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “Turkey Moves to Reclaim Basilica as Mosque,” by […]
Catholic bishop: Pope’s claim that Quran opposes violence “not true simply based on a plain reading of the Quran”
Schneider and Müller are likely now to run afoul of Pope Francis, who has made the risible claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” Although this is not and could not ever be a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, it is assumed to […]
