It is hard to imagine that learned imam in the Vatican, Pope Francis, getting exercised about this. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “Catholic Aid Diverted From Persecuted Christians to Muslims,” by Trey Blanton, ChurchMilitant.com, November 25, 2019 […]
Pope Cites French Epic Poem to Prove Christianity Is as Violent as Islam
My latest in PJ Media: The indefatigable apologist for Islam Pope Francis on Monday issued yet another mea culpa to Muslims, saying: “A scene from The Song of Roland comes to me as a symbol, when the Christians defeat the Muslims and line them up in front of the baptismal font, with one holding a sword. And […]
Pope cites French epic poem to “prove” Christianity is as violent as Islam
“Pope Francis trotted out a scene from the 11th-century French epic poem La Chanson de Roland this week to prove Christians have tried to convert Muslims by the sword, just as Muslims have done to Christians.” The Pope’s moral equivalence is obscene at best. He also stated: “Beware of the fundamentalist groups: everyone has his […]
Pope embraces imam who has endorsed jihad suicide attacks against Jews and wants converts to Christianity killed
Pope Francis and the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, early this year published “A Document On Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together,” and it’s as filled with falsehoods and wishful thinking as one would expect coming from a practiced deceiver such as el-Tayeb and someone so eager to be deceived as Pope […]
Turkey’s ambassador to the Vatican claims that freedom of religion is protected in Turkish law
Turkey’s ambassador to the Vatican, Lutfullah Goktas, has stated deceptively that “freedom of religion is protected under the Turkish constitution,” and that “Turkey has made significant progress regarding freedom of religion in its territory, such as restoring churches and synagogues.” Goktas was speaking at an event in Naples entitled “1929-2019: Ninety years of relations between […]
Pope Francis Elevates an Interfaith-Healing Archbishop
Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, about whom I wrote Monday, is not the only one. There is also Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald (no relation). The disquieting story is here: Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, former head of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, has been made a cardinal by Pope Francis. The Walsall-born White Father, who is now based at […]
Catholic Intellectual Robert George: ‘Christians and Muslims Must, as Never Before, Join Hands’
My latest in PJ Media: Princeton Professor Robert George, a very public Catholic intellectual, has published a piece in the left-leaning Jesuit magazine America saying: “I urge my fellow Christians of all traditions to remember how much we share with faithful Muslims.” He declares that “Christians and Muslims must, as never before, join hands to […]
Bologna, Cardinal Zuppi, and That Pork-Filled Tortellini Ban
Bologna is a city that is famous for its food. It is known Bologna la Grassa – Bologna the Well-Nourished – and is especially known for its pork-based foods: salumi include all cured meats, including salami, prosciutto cotto (baked or boiled ham), prosciutto crudo, salsicce (sausages) of all kinds. The Feast of San Petronio, the […]
In Bologna, and Elsewhere, Muslim “Art Appreciation” Continues
In Bologna, the Catholic diocese recently decided that for the Feast of San Petronio this year, there would be no pork-filled tortellini. Though these tortellini are the pride of Bolognese cuisine, Archbishop Matteo Zuppi (just chosen by Pope Francis to be a cardinal) decided that the Church did not want in any way to offend […]
“Christians and Muslims must join hands….Let Christians and Muslims never again regard each other as enemies”
As is always the case with exhortations such as this one, note how one-sided it is. Robert George tells Christians not to hate Muslims, which is a very good thing for him to tell them, but he never says a word about trying to get Muslims not to hate Christians. As far as this article […]
