As Jihad Watch reported Saturday, “The U.S. Catholic bishops submitted a brief to the Supreme Court declaring that President Donald Trump’s ban on migration from five Muslim countries was ‘blatant religious discrimination.’” Is it really? And do the U.S. Catholic bishops feel any obligation to support measures that would protect Americans from jihad attacks? Apparently […]
Pope Francis: “Do we really want peace? Then let’s ban all weapons so we don’t have to live in fear of war.”
Do we really want peace? Then let’s ban all weapons so we don’t have to live in fear of war. — Pope Francis (@Pontifex) April 29, 2018 Ban all weapons? Kitchen knives? Rocks? Automobiles? Does the Pope want us to live in the Stone Age? No, stones will be banned. What he is actually advocating […]
US Catholic bishops call Trump’s travel ban “blatant religious discrimination”
The U.S. Catholic bishops submitted a brief to the Supreme Court declaring that President Donald Trump’s ban on migration from five Muslim countries was “blatant religious discrimination.” One learns from childhood to discriminate between what is harmful and what is benign. Trump’s ban was from “countries of concern” that were chosen by the Obama administration […]
Pope insists accepting migrants should be a primary issue for Christians
Instead of misleading the flock, the Pope should lead by example: welcome any and everyone into his quarters in the Vatican and give up his security guards, in a full sacrificial welcoming of all of humanity. He will never do those things, for reasons of security and self preservation, but he attempts to deny other […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Pope Francis Chastises the World’s Christians
Pope Francis delivered a prayer during his Good Friday via crucis, in which he chastised the world’s Christians for their behavior, for bringing so much violence into the world: Christians ought to express shame for the actions of those who are leaving future generations a world “fractured by divisions and wars,” Pope Francis said. The […]
Pope: Christians should feel shame for global strife
Pope Francis doesn’t seem to have said a word about the religion that actually teaches that believers should wage war against and subjugate unbelievers.

“Pope expresses concern over national policies dictated by fear,” by Giulia Segreti, Reuters, March 11, 2018: Pope Francis on Sunday expressed concern over national policies dictated by fear, speaking only one week after Italy’s general elections which brought populist and anti-immigrant parties to the forefront. The Italian elections were over in early March, and the […]
Vatican seeks to “change the narrative” on immigration: “we need positive stories”
Yes, we need positive stories. That will fix everything. If people will just stop reporting about Muslim migrant crimes and rapes, and jihad terror attacks, and all the rest, then those racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic Europeans will stop worrying and love the Muslim migrant influx, and all will be well and all manner of thing will […]
Vatican signals its “concern” over populist rise in Italy elections
The Vatican has decried the “obsession with borders and national security to detriment of rights and dignity of refugees.” Such has been the stance of the Vatican of late. The Vatican “makes millions of dollars annually on refugee resettlement,” so it now asserts that “those who oppose the Muslim migrant influx are morally deficient. If […]
