“Pope Seeks ‘Pathways’ for Muslim ‘Invasion,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, June 18, 2020:
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – Pope Francis is calling for the creation of migrant “pathways” as at least 20,000 mostly Muslim migrants are poised to sail from the coast of North Africa toward Italy.

Critics slammed the pontiff for his lack of discernment in promoting mass Islamic immigration, despite a growing awareness of Muslim immigration as “a bona fide doctrine of Islam” and the “methodically planned” recent tidal waves of Muslim migration.
“Pope Francis is working for the destruction of the remnants of Christian Europe,” eminent Islamic scholar Robert Spencer told Church Militant. “It is a sin against the Christian obligation to love one’s neighbor to welcome in a large group of people who are determined to convert, subjugate or kill that neighbor.”
