- Pope Francis: ‘Muslim Terrorism Does Not Exist’;
- But Man Made Climate Change Is Real
- With incitements like the Pope is delivering, Papal approved “populist direct action” is nurtured*
Pope Francis continues his hostility toward free and democratic societies, the sovereignty of nations, and western economic principles as he implicitly gives his pious approval of violent anarchist actions aimed at overthrowing legally elected governments. That characterization can not be credibly denied regarding anti-Trump protests in the United States and Pope Francis’ recent statements incitements that will fuel such protests.
From the report linked to above by Thomas D. Williams Breitbart Rome correspondent, quoting Pope Francis:
“I think that in nearly all religions there is a always a small fundamentalist group,” he said, adding “We have them,” referring to Catholicism.”
(Always difficult to determine who said what, Pope Francis or Barack Obama, or Marie Harf?)
In an impassioned address Friday, Pope Francis denied the existence of Islamic terrorism, while simultaneously asserting that “the ecological crisis is real.”
“Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist,” Francis said in his speech to a world meeting of populist movements.
What he apparently meant is that not all Christians are terrorists and not all Muslims are terrorists—a fact evident to all—yet his words also seemed to suggest that no specifically Islamic form of terrorism exists in the world, an assertion that stands in stark contradiction to established fact.
I didn’t realize it but the conference that Comrade Francis gave his passionate and pious endorsement to that we posted about yesterday is apparently a Catholic undertaking. Interesting to see the various organizations and individuals participating.
Maybe it’s just me but this looks like the reincarnation of the worldwide Communist Party. Really creepy stuff and the Church is right in the middle of it…and even giving it the impetus . . . Direct Action & Research Training Center (DART) ; Gamaliel Foundation;
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) ; US Federation of Worker Cooperatives and more of the usual suspects. Not one known for “preaching” market solutions to economic development.
A sample of the reporting on this “Popular Movement” (Recall that Francis’s “cleanup crew” stoutly maintained in yesterday’s piece that Fran wasn’t aiming at Trump or anyone in particular…Oh no??!!) :

What we are not seeing in the dominant liberal media and which the Pope is part of obfuscating or denying:
American Pastors’ Prez: Calling Islam Non-Violent Is ‘Purposeful Denial of Facts’
Whistle-Blower: ‘Global Warming’ Data Manipulated Before Paris Conference — one of the climate conferences the Pope has given his imprimatur to.
Where is the Pope’s sense of balance . . .
Iraqi Archbishop: Where Were the Protesters ‘When ISIS Came to Kill Christians’?
(Archbishop) Warda also blasted the careless journalists who have called the order a “Muslim ban,” noting that this label is not only false but also dangerous to Christians and other minorities living in lands dominated by Islamic terrorists.
“All those who cry out that this is a ‘Muslim Ban,’” Warda said, should understand clearly that they are hurting Christians and “putting us at greater risk.”
“Here in Iraq we Christians cannot afford to throw out words carelessly as the media in the West can do,” he added. “I would ask those in the media who use every issue to stir up division to think about this.”
“For the media these things become an issue of ratings, but for us the danger is real,” he said.
The Archbishop said “it is very hard for me to understand why comfortable people in the West think those who are struggling to survive against genocide, and whose communities are at extreme risk of disappearing completely, should not get some special consideration.”
“We are an ancient people on the verge of extinction because of our commitment to our faith. Will anybody protest for us?” he asked.
