We have heard many disturbing statements in recent years made by Catholic clerics, from bishops and cardinals right up to Pope Francis, who seem to believe that Islam is a religion like any other, that criticism of Islam is unjustified and based on the motiveless malignity of “Islamophobia,” and that the main duty of Catholics […]
As Pope heads to Poland to press it to take more Muslim migrants, Poles arrest Muslim migrant with explosives
Does Christian charity really require civilizational suicide? The Poles say no. Pope Francis differs. Here’s the politically correct fantasy: “Vatican statement accuses Polish politicians of whipping up fear against Muslims,” by Christopher Lamb, La Stampa, July 23, 2016: Just days before Pope Francis’ visit to Poland a Vatican statement has denounced an “artificially created fear […]

Pope Francis might jettison idea of a ‘just war’
That would remove one of the West’s key philosophical foundations and leave Catholics no alternative but to surrender to the advancing jihad. But with the monuments of Catholic Europe in ruins and the Church subjugated and enslaved, as the jihadi’s blade slices through his neck Pope Francis can congratulate himself that he was never, ever […]
Pope Embraces Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar
So is the jihad over? No, just enabled. AP reported breathlessly Monday that Pope Francis “embraced the grand imam of Al-Azhar, the prestigious Sunni Muslim center of learning, reopening an important channel for Catholic-Muslim dialogue after a five-year lull and at a time of increased Islamic extremist attacks on Christians.” Why has there been this […]
Pope to welcome Muslim leader who has justified anti-Semitism and crucifixion of “enemies of Allah” to Vatican
Al-Tayeb has shown himself over the years to be anything but a preacher of peace, cooperation and mercy: he has justified anti-Semitism on Qur’anic grounds; called for the Islamic State murderers of the Jordanian pilot to be crucified or have their hands and feet amputated on opposite sides (as per the penalty in Qur’an 5:33 […]
Pope Francis’ Jihad on Christianity
The man known as the pope and the vicar of Christ – but who in light of what follows is probably best referred to by his real name, Jorge Mario Bergoglio – recently gave an interview demonstrating why “so many people think he is the anti-Christ.” The more salient features follow: Christ as Warmonger In […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Pope Francis: Islam and Christianity Share “the Idea of Conquest”
Pope Francis continues to astonish. He has just said, in an interview with the French Catholic paper La Croix, that “the idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam.” As far as his understanding of Islam goes, this is a marked improvement over his disturbing statement, back in November 2013, that the “Koran […]
Pope Francis: ‘Idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam,’ but says one can see Christianity that way, too
A few years ago the Pope wrote that Islam and the Qur’an rejected all forms of violence. Now he is contradicting himself. “The Pope went on, however, to acknowledge that the ‘idea of conquest is inherent to the soul of Islam,’ while immediately adding that ‘one could also interpret the end of Saint Matthew’s gospel, […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Pope: Neither Holy, Nor Roman, Nor An Umpire
“Integration” And “Dialogue” Or, The Pope Accepts His Prize The Charlemagne Prize, awarded by the city of Aachen for services furthering the unity of Europe, was given this year to Pope Francis. His address upon receiving the prize is one more example of his inability to recognize, or possibly of his feeling compelled not to […]
