| Is Rome ready for a 'culture of encounter'? |
Moved by His Holiness Pope Francis's calls for 'dialogue' as people of different faiths gather together to promote peace, tolerance and mutual respect, it has been announced by ISIS that they would very much like to visit Rome to promote 'a culture of encounter'. The Vatican has yet to issue a formal comment on the idea, but continues to promote mutual respect and understanding between different religions in an atmosphere of tolerance, that fosters peace and brotherhood. Now that communists have been labelled as closet Christians by His Holiness Pope Francis, can we look forward to Islamic hardliners being labelled the same? After all, there is some stuff in the Qu'ran about helping the poor. I was hitherto under the impression that Christians follow the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Communists follow the teachings of Marx and Gramsci and Muslims follow the teachings of Mohammed and, in Iraq and Syria, people who claim to speak in his name.
Within the brave new spectrum of people (Jews, freemasons, communists, satanists) who could be classified as 'Christians' (and Christians who do not quite realise it yet), do priests, friars, nuns, bishops, cardinals and lay people who attend, assist at, or offer the Traditional Latin Mass get into the Christian 'party'? For the FFI and for its founder, time has told. For the rest of us, time will tell, assuming that Rome is not sacked by Islam in the coming year(s) again. The 'dialogue' with ISIS, if recent behaviour is anything to go by, is really quite brief, curt and 'to the point'. They don't appear to be into planting olive trees...
The equivalence of Christianity with communism marks a new low in the Holy Father's mausoleum of "new lows".
ReplyDeleteBut like I've said from the beginning, he's just your old common-or-garden South American marxist.
October will be the cruelest month.
For your information this ISIS group along with other extremist groups were trained and formed not to mention being armed by the West mostly by the CIA and the like. So don't blame Pope Francis for the ability to see what our meddling in these areas have done to the Christians in the war on terror. Actions have repercussions
ReplyDeleteBut islam doesn't really 'do' dialogue. It's built into the koran that one may, with full blessings of the koranic god, go ahead and lie their socks off to achieve their aims, however.

"This is a very informative video, produced by a decorated veteran and former intelligence analyst for the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff who is also an expert in Islamic law. He looks at “Pope” Francis’ recent “Interfaith Prayer for Peace” event that took place in the Vatican Gardens on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, 2014, at which a Muslim imam prayed in Arabic for “victory over the infidels....One caveat: At one point in the video, Maj. Coughlin refers to Peter Abelard. We wish to caution our readers regarding Abelard, who, though he died reconciled with the Church, held a number of erroneous opinions, some of which savored of heresy, and which were condemned by Pope Innocent II and St. Bernard of Clairvaux (St. Bernard, by contrast to Abelard, was later declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius VIII)."
Lord have mercy!

'mausoleum of new lows'; so I'm not the only one who thinks like this.

LOL! That was indeed a good one Joe. I have had the same thought running through my brain multiple times now......'Can't someone in the Vatican get him to JUST STOP ALREADY!!
ReplyDeleteThis interesting:
ReplyDeleteAbu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the ‘Islamic State’ stretching across Iraq and Syria, has vowed to lead the conquest of Rome as he called on Muslims to immigrate to his new land to fight under its banner around the globe.
