My latest in PJ Media: The world is so crazy these days that if you enunciate unpopular truths, people who are supposed to be moral authorities will pressure you to retract and apologize. A Roman Catholic priest in Ilhan Omar’s Minnesota, the Rev. Nick VanDenBroeke, has been compelled by Catholic authorities to apologize “for saying […]
Minnesota: Hamas-linked CAIR complains, Catholic priest apologizes for saying Islam “greatest threat in the world”
This article encapsulates so much about what is wrong with the contemporary Catholic Church and the imperative of “interfaith dialogue,” and illustrates the apparently impenetrable confusion people have today between criticizing ideas and discriminating against human beings. The Rev. Nick VanDenBroeke apologized “for saying in a sermon that Islam was ‘the greatest threat in the […]
Pope Francis Condemns Antisemitism But Again Misses the Elephant In the Room
In a meeting with world Jewish leaders, Pope Francis deplored the recent upsurge in antisemitism around the world. Pope Francis told a visiting US Jewish delegation on Monday of his concerns about rising antisemitism and the importance of educating against prejudice. The Pope tells his Jewish visitors from the Wiesenthal Center about his concern over […]
Pope Francis Continues to Avoid That Elephant in the Room
Pope Francis recently condemned antisemitism twice in the strongest possible terms. He did so first in departing from prepared remarks at one of his weekly Papal audiences in Rome. The Pope said: “I would like to make a separate note. The Jewish people have suffered so much in history; they have been chased away, they […]
Prominent Italian intellectual accuses Pope of hating the West, aspiring to destroy it and Christian tradition
Jihad Watch has frequently addressed concerns about Pope Francis and his efforts to ally with unsavory Islamic leaders and push for more Muslim migrants in the West. It is fortunate that not all Catholic leaders see eye to eye with the Pope. For example, Cardinal Robert Sarah — prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship […]
Cardinal tells Europeans they should be “fiercely ashamed” of their treatment of migrants
“Luxembourg’s progressive cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich echoed a Christmas appeal for migrants by Pope Francis, decrying the exploitation of migrants in Greece and the shameful inaction of Europeans to help. Speaking at the cathedral in Luxembourg City, Cardinal Hollerich chastised his fellow Europeans for not coming to the aid of those living in refugee camps on […]
Philippines: Muslims explode bomb outside cathedral during Sunday Mass just before Christmas
Pope Francis is doubtless on his way to Cotabato right now, in order to explain to these Muslims that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” “ASIA/PHILIPPINES – Terrorist violence on Christmas eve: attack in front of the Cathedral,” Agenzia Fides, December 23, 2019 (thanks to […]
Pope’s annual meal for the poor features no pork or wine to avoid offending Muslims
When will this gesture be reciprocated? Never. “Interfaith dialogue” is not conducted in search of genuine religious rapprochement. It is designed simply to make Christians feel good about how Christlike and non-bigoted they are (in their own view), while the Muslims can go away satisfied that the Christians are again submitting to them. The principle […]
Ilhan Omar Hypnotizes Catholic Church, Reads Islamic Prayer at St. Peters Gathering in D.C.
My latest in PJ Media: The ever-winsome Representative from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, on Thanksgiving posted on Twitter a video of herself reading out an Islamic prayer praising Allah inside St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Washington, D.C. The occasion for Omar’s taking the podium at St. Peter’s was a “multi-faith gathering” that attracted quite a few members of Washington’s Democratic Party glitterati, including House […]
Ilhan Omar praises Allah in Washington, DC Catholic church
How wonderful! How woke! How multicultural! Now: when will a big mosque in Washington invite a lot of Christian speakers to the mosque to praise Jesus? What’s that? Never? The “outreach” and “dialogue” only ever go in one direction? Now, why is that? Alhamdullilah for the opportunity to serve my constituents, to care for my […]
