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 […]
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. […]
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: 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 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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pope silent about captive Italian woman’s possibly forced conversion to Islam
Silvia Romano was a captive for 18 months. She emerged a convert to Islam. Coercion? Stockholm Syndrome? It’s possible. But the Pope, who has frequently condemned Christian proselytizing, is silent. See my comments in this article below. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall […]
Ex-Muslims expose Muslim-Catholic dialogue as deceptive exercise in proselytizing for Islam
“The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] 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 Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.” — Sayyid Qutb, Milestones, chapter 10. (Mother […]
