Video: Robert Spencer on Muslim persecution of Christians — the speech the U.S. Catholic Bishops don’t want you to see

William Kilpatrick: ‘Humility and Hubris’
William Kilpatrick uses the Pope’s remarks during his recent American visit as an opportunity to discuss the need for “humility before the facts,” versus “uninformed pronouncements on everything from climate change to jihad.” “Humility and Hubris,” by William Kilpatrick, Crisis Magazine, September 29, 2015: Much has been written about the Pope’s humility, and he himself has […]
Head of Italian Bishops Conference hits West’s silence on Muslim persecution of Christians
“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 the Italian Bishops Conference (CEI). The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III has also said: “I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of […]
Pope says 9/11 caused by “inability to find solutions which respect the common good”
“It is possible to live in a world of peace. It is possible to live together with our different paths, different cultures, different religions.” Yes, that’s true, if all of us with our different paths, different cultures, and different religions respect one another and one group doesn’t try to gain hegemony and deny equal rights […]
Cardinal Danneels admits: “Mafia” club brought down Benedict XVI to make Church “much more modern”

So this “mafia” cabal succeeded. They got their Pope who would help them […]

Pope Francis: “We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism”
Gary Emerling of U.S. News and World Report thinks he has discovered a double standard: “Obama’s comments were criticized as ‘offensive,’ ‘wrongheaded’ and detached from present-day reality. Of course, it’s more politically acceptable to criticize the president then the pope – time will tell if Francis’ remarks draw a similar response.” Happy to oblige, Gary: […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Pope Karl I
In FrontPage today I discuss how the Pope has blamed the refugee crisis on…capitalism. September 16, 2015: Did Karl Marx become Pope on March 13, 2013? As the leader of a Church that encompasses the globe, one might expect Pope Francis to be a bit more…spiritual. Instead, he has more than once had recourse to […]
Pope: “No religion is immune from its own fundamentalism,” and fundamentalists “kill, destroy and defame”
Where today do Christian fundamentalists “kill, destroy and defame”? Where are there mobs of Christian fundamentalists lynching innocent Muslims for perceived “blasphemy,” turning mosques into churches, and forcing Muslims to submit to them and pay them a special tax? There is an escalating Muslim persecution of Christians that makes this moral equivalence at best, disastrously […]
