After New Year’s Eve sex assaults by Muslim migrants, European Catholic bishops warn of rise of “right-wing” & “Islamophobia”
The European Catholic hierarchy appears to be identical in political ideology to Pope Francis and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Is encouraging national and cultural suicide a Christian duty now? As Europe is engulfed in the flames of civil war, will any of these bishops wake up and realize what they have done? Or […]
What can the Catholic Church do?
This afternoon I taped a segment via Skype for Michael Voris’ The Church Militant, about the jihad threat to Christians in West Africa.

Pope and Patriarch of Moscow decry persecution of Mideast Christians, don’t name persecutor, call for dialogue
The Pope and the Patriarch of Moscow met in Havana. What an interesting choice for a meeting place. Were they reporting to their superiors?

Silent about a threat that is theirs today as well. My column in FrontPage today: Jean-Clément Jeanbart, the Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo, gave a recent interview with a French reporter, in which he was highly critical of the mainstream media and even of his fellow bishops for ignoring the Muslim persecution of Middle […]
Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop to West: “Why are your bishops silent on a threat that is yours today as well?”
“Open your eyes, didn’t you see what happened recently in Paris?” No, they didn’t see it. They didn’t want to see it. Archbishop Jeanbart is not the first to say this. “Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one’s voice over so much ferocity and injustice?” asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of […]
