Centuries ago, popes spearheaded the resistance to the advancing jihad. But Erdogan knows what he is dealing with in Pope Francis, and it isn’t exactly the spirit of the Crusades. Whatever else he may be, Pope Francis is the perfect pope for a Europe that has discarded and no longer appreciates its own culture and […]
‘We are all the same’ in Spain as Barcelona church hosts Ramadan iftar dinners
This is so wonderful. It’s even Qur’anic: “And do not argue with the people of the book unless it be in what is better, except with those among them who do wrong, and say, We believe in what has been revealed to us and revealed to you, our Allah and your Allah is one, and […]
Italy: Bishop denounces ‘shameful’ migrant deaths, calls for ‘open society’ to leave ‘a legacy of a good life’
The deaths of these migrants were indeed tragic. Antonio Staglianò’s conclusions from those deaths, however, are unwarranted. Might Europeans who “want to stay human and hand over a legacy of a good life to their children” opt not to see their lands inundate with migrants, many of whom bring with them a model of society […]
Pope Francis denounces deaths of illegal Muslim migrants in Mediterranean as ‘shameful’
The deaths of these migrants are indeed tragic. They should not be used, however, to legitimize further the continual disregard for the rule of law and the inundation of Europe with illegal migrants. Every effort should be made to put a stop to illegals embarking on such a journey to start with. Illegal economic migrants […]
U.S. Catholic Bishops Urge Biden’s Handlers to Bring In More ‘Refugees’
My latest in PJ Media: After coming under withering criticism from their far-left, open-borders base, Old Joe Biden’s handlers announced Friday that next month, they will increase the number of “refugees” that the United States will take in. Some of that criticism came from the Catholic Church, of which Old Joe claims to be a devout […]
US Catholic bishops urge Biden’s handlers to bring in more ‘refugees’
What about one’s obligations to one’s own community, to try to preserve their freedom and the stability of one’s society? That is selfish, Mario Dorsonville would likely say. And with jihadis crossing the border recently, do the U.S. Catholic bishops feel any obligation to support measures that would protect Americans from jihad attacks? Apparently not. […]
Vatican wishes Muslims, as ‘bearers of hope,’ ‘divine blessings’ during Ramadan
All across the Islamic world, we see violent jihad and a range of human rights abuses committed in the name of Islamic law. In Africa, a genocide is underway against Christians as jihadists pursue a caliphate. Ditto for areas of the Middle East, where the Islamic State is once again rebuilding. In Egypt, the Muslim […]
France: Catholic diocese finances construction of mosque
In discussing a Catholic bishop’s recent construction of a mosque in Nigeria, I said it was an act of charity, albeit a foolish one, but I was wrong. Neither that action in Nigeria nor this one in France is an act of charity. It is not doing the Muslims any favors to affirm them in […]
Nigeria: Government outraged as bishop criticizes its response to jihad terror
Note how the failed Nigerian leadership takes aim at the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto on the grounds that the Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah did not speak like a man of God when Kukah criticized Nigeria’s approach to escalating Islamic terrorism in the country. How is a man of God supposed to speak? He is supposed […]
Muslims Needed a Mosque. The Catholic Church Built One for Them.
My latest in PJ Media: Although this happened in Nigeria, it is emblematic of what is happening all over the West today, including in the U.S. Non-Muslims are being generous, welcoming, and kind, without any particular concern for the possibility that not all of the recipients of their largesse might be interested in reciprocating their […]
