In response to Tim Staples’ article here, I sent these three points to Church Militant: 1. Mr. Staples argues at great length that the Vatican II statement that God’s plan of salvation includes Muslims means only that God desires them to be saved. No Christian could possibly disagree with that, and that is not what […]
William Kilpatrick Makes the Catholic Case for Counter-Jihad
The Catholic Church is “like a sleeping giant—a powerful force for good that is asleep to the dangers posed by Islam’s stealth advance,” writes leading Catholic commentator William Kilpatrick in his new book, What Catholics Need to Know about Islam. He provides essential reading for both Catholics and others about the West’s historic and newly […]
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. […]
What Catholics Need to Know About Islam: An Interview with William Kilpatrick
William Kilpatrick, who taught for many years at Boston College and is the author of several books about cultural and religious issues, has an important new book out, What Catholics Need to Know About Islam. He was kind enough to answer a few questions I asked him about it: Robert Spencer: You speak a good […]
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: Top Muslim leader says Judaism and Christianity are ‘manipulation of original messages of prophets’
Yassine Baradai is simply enunciating standard Islamic theology, which holds that all the Biblical prophets were Muslims (cf. Qur’an 3:67, which says it about Abraham), and that their wayward followers then twisted and hijacked their teachings to create Judaism and Christianity. But the Pope and the Italian Catholic bishops either don’t know this or are […]
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 spokesman evades question about whether Catholics and Muslims worship the same God
Tim Staples can’t be faulted for this. The problem lies not with him, but with the false teachings of Vatican II about Islam, which put Catholics in an impossible position. There are numerous reasons why Catholics and Muslims do not worship the same God. I explain some below, and more here. But the ecumenical council […]
