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 all reason, all common sense, all fact, and all prudence, and is ruthlessly enforced, such that all those who stand by the truth are forcibly silenced and marginalized. Now this willful ignorance and suppression of the truth will only intensify.

Pope Francis’ human fraternity declaration has proven to be a smoking ruin.Tweet“Yet the pontiff keeps doubling down,” Spencer lamented.
Spencer, author of 21 books on Islam, elaborated:
An encyclical based on the same falsehoods as those of the declaration — that Islam is a religion of peace, that dialogue can overcome the propensity (which is largely restricted to Islam, although the declaration of course does not acknowledge this) for religious violence — will only amplify the reach and influence of these falsehoods within the Church, and move the hierarchy even farther away from what it should be doing: warning the faithful about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat….
