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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pope installs new cardinals who “share his vision for social justice, rights of immigrants and dialogue with Islam”
“Pope Francis installed new cardinals…. putting his stamp on the future of the Roman Catholic Church with men who share his vision for social justice, the rights of immigrants and dialogue with Islam.” The Pope has been a powerful promoter of Islam, going so far as advance theological reforms in Catholic schools to promote a […]
Pope unveils statue celebrating migrants in Vatican, says Christians have a moral obligation to care for them
In guilt-tripping Christians into dropping all opposition to mass Muslim migration into the West, Pope Francis is sending a clear message to all non-Muslims: drop dead. He appears to be absolutely unconcerned about the following facts: Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab […]
Top Catholic Clergy Hail El-Tayyeb-Pope Francis Document as “Clarion Call”
Breitbart reported less than two weeks ago that “the Vatican has created a special committee to draw out the principles contained in the controversial Abu Dhabi document, signed last February by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar.” The Pope believes something great was accomplished in the U.A.E. when he and Sheikh Ahmad El-Tayeb […]
Muslim-Catholic document on world peace “full of outrageously false and misleading statements”
All that this dialogue has led to is Christian leaders being quiet about Muslim persecution of Christians, for fear of offending their dialogue partners. Has this been reciprocated by Muslims? Have Muslim spokesmen stopped being critical of Christians and Christianity? Of course not. The “dialogue” is all dawah on one side and Useful Idiots, eager […]
