My latest at PJ Media:
The Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue on Friday informed its “dear Muslim brothers and sisters” that the month of Ramadan is “a time for spiritual healing and growth, of sharing with the poor, of strengthening bonds with relatives and friends,” as well as an opportunity for “your Christian friends” to “further strengthen our relationships with you.”
The message, which was published in Arabic, Italian, French, and English, added: “It is in this spirit that the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue offers its prayerful best wishes and hearty congratulations to you all.” And that’s wonderful, but just what was the Vatican congratulating?
Vatican officials are without any doubt unaware of the fact that because Ramadan is the month in which Muslims redouble their efforts to obey Allah, Ramadan is also quintessentially the month of jihad. Fighting and killing infidels is, after all, commanded in the Qur’an (cf. 2:191. 4:89, 9:5, 9:289, 47:4, etc.). A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44)
Thus killing infidels during Ramadan is, for the killers, a holy and sacred act. A jihadi group explained it back in 2012:
The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God’s messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators.
During Ramadan, Muslims are exhorted to renew and deepen their devotion to Allah. Hence it is a time when they are supposed to grow more generous and kind — toward their fellow Muslims. The Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves” (48:29). If the Ramadan imperative is to become more devout, the Muslim who applies himself diligently to Ramadan observance will simultaneously become both more merciful to his fellow Muslims and more severe against the unbelievers.
Thus, in congratulating Muslims for Ramadan, the Vatican is celebrating an imperative to conquer and subjugate them.
This is no surprise. Again and again, throughout his papacy, Pope Francis has shown himself to be an enemy of the West and the Judeo-Christian tradition, and a friend of those who oppose and would destroy them. The Islamic Republic of Iran’s state-controlled Mehr News Agency reported in mid-April that after receiving an appeal from a senior member of the Academy of Sciences of Iran, Ayatollah Mostafa Mohaghegh Damad, Pope Francis has called for the relaxation of international sanctions against Iran.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

The feast-a-thon and bomb-a-thon of RAMADAN … THE MONTH OF JIHAD, BATTLES, MARTYRDOM and VICTORIES … is on.
Let us celebrate our defeat by Islamic supremacism. (sarc/off)
Proof texts:
-The commandment of jihad, which is of supreme importance at all times, assumes even greater importance during this holy month and gains precedence over all other commandments.
-There is a close connection between fasting and jihad, for the former is jihad of the soul, aimed at restraining it from sinning, while the second is jihad against the enemies, aimed at preventing them from spreading “corruption” in the world. Moreover, fasting is a powerful means to prepare the soul for jihad, i.e., to school oneself in obedience, devotion, resilience and endurance, which are the virtues of the jihad fighter that allow him to vanquish his enemies. On Ramadan Allah grants fighters special strength, despite – or rather by virtue of – their fasting.
-Those who gain martyrdom during the month of Ramadan are doubly rewarded in Paradise.

Do they get twice as many “virgins”?
What sort of virgins? What type of virgins?
All conditions of reward ought to be clearly spelled out or confusions reigns supreme.

144 very tired virgins.

Here’s a good video by David Wood about Ramadan that I wish the Pope would watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsVKcbaxaJw
FYI says
Did you know that even allah himself calls muslims who love to put on a show hypocrites?
“Lo!The HYPOCRITES seek to beguile allah but it is he who beguileth them.When they stand up to worship they perform it languidly and to be seen by men and are mindful of allah but little”
koran 4:142
allah is talking about his own muslims:he is not talking about infidels.
Remember that whenever you see muslims virtue-signalling when they pray in public:is it not “to be seen by men” and thus actually condemned by allah?
islamic zakat would also be condemned by Jesus Christ on the basis of Matthew chpt 6 v 2-4{the same chapter DW refers to in your video}
muslims give charity to muslims but giving charity should never discriminate.
islam is the religion of hypocrisy.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, isn’t it odd that this Pope is congratulating people for doing just the opposite of what Jesus said we should do. I am just stunned by his seeming ignorance of so much of Christ’s teachings.
grey says
This “pope” is actually Pope Dhimmy the First. Satan’s appointed Judas Goat for mankind.
Keys says
Yes, indeed.
And also from Matthew 6, as most Christians know, Jesus says:
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Do not pray (or fast) to be seen and praised; and do not pray from being pressured to do so.
Rufolino says
There would be no point in the Pope watching this. He has a closed mind, and it’s Marxist.
All you have to do is look at his resentful face.
He looks like those who used to be in the Politburo (and they weren’t noted for their beauty). Frankie would have fitted in perfectly.
Veron Holness says
Pope Francis, a traitor to all Christians
A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city.
But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.
For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.
He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague.
— Marcus Tullius Cicero, from a speech given to the Roman Senate, recorded in approximately 42 B.C. by Sallust.
Carpediadem says
I wonder who appointed/elected him Pope? Is it a political choice?
JMB says
In 1871 Pope Pius IX signed a decree banning any further political or secular influence in the selection of The Pope. Previous to this under the doctrine of Jus Exclusivae Catholic royalty were permitted to veto the selection of a pope. So now we know, there is no legitimate way that the Pope can be a political appointee.
Patricia Koenig says
Yes. Frankenpope (the False Prophet of Revelations) is the leader of the One World Religion. And Francis is helping to implement the One World Government (under the Antichrist).
James Lincoln says
Veron Holness,
Thanks for the quotes from Cicero.
The “traitors” are also the Western government leaders who have allowed muslim migrants to enter their country.
But we all knew that already…

Pope Dhimmi the First.

Yes Mortimer, that is his rightful title. Satan appointed him as the Judas Goat for mankind, or is it people kind?
mortimer says
RichardL may have a good point about Jesuits.
Is this example of confused thinking from Bergoglio actually just JESUITRY and RATIONALIZATION GONE WILD?
Rationalizing the Month of Jihad and Victories is more than ‘a reach’ … n’est-ce pas?
RichardL says
Thanks mortimer. It has as much to do with his ideas as does his South American background, I believe. I know Jesuit universities and they are very confused in their belief.
Patricia Koenig says
See 30 historical invalid popes/ anti-popes listed in the mainstream online New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia. Francis = invalid pope / anti-pope. We own him no respect since he is a fraud.
somehistory says
“It is in this spirit that the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue offers its prayerful best wishes ”
The “prayers” of the pope and his “ponfifical council,” are worthless. If prayers are not heard by the Almighty God and Creator of heaven and earth and all things in the Universe, then those prayers are worthless.
From the first chapter of Isaiah: “I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
16 Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!…

Nothing this lunatic Pope Francis does, surprises me any more. He will soon qualify as a trusted Imam. He seems totally ignorant of much of Christ’s teachings.
Wellington says
Whatever the indefensible reason or reasons, Pope Francis continues as a disaster in the making.
Jon Sobieski says
How far back do you have to look for a Pope as bad as this one?
JMB says
With all of this high level dialogue taking place will we start to see Churches and Cathedrals being re-opened and/or re-established throughout the Islamic world any time soon?
mortimer says
WHICH MULTIPLIER IS THE RIGHT ONE ??? Allah isn’t sure. Does anyone know?
A Good Deed in Ramadan Rewarded 2x … or 10x … or 70x … or 700x …?
Narrated by Abu Hurairah, “Allah’s messenger said, ‘If any one of you improves his Islamic religion (by jihad-terror-murder), then his good deeds will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and a bad deed will be recorded as it is.” -Bukhari
“Whoever does something good in this month, Allah multiplies it by 70”. -Tirmidhi
But why 70? Why not 100,000 or 50 million? Another hadith says the rewards are doubled for killing kafirs during Ramadan.
Allah is inconsistent about these heavenly rewards. Allah can’t decide what is the ‘best’ multipler … 2 or 10 or 70 or 700.

Pope Francis, Not Content to Falsely Accuse Christians of Fictional Atrocity, Celebrates Jihadis’ Favorite Holiday
……………..
The Pope is enraged over the largely fictional Song of Roland, but embraces the Islamic month of blood and death. Just appalling.
Richard M Anderson says
The most uninspiring Pope ever. I’m nauseated by his ecclesiastical and political doctrines. I have no respect for him or the rest of the Vatican politicians masquerading as clergy.
Max says
This socialist pope will be remembered for the destruction of the catholic church.

It is not up to me to judge whether pope Francis is Catholic, but he surely doesn’t represent or defend Chrisyianity in any way.
Major Tom says
“What fellowship does darkness have with light?” II COR 6:14.

Indeed, or to put it in a different way: What “element of truth” has the Roman Catholic church found in Islam? This term has been used since the Second Vatican council and we need to know what it is!

“The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”
Goofy says
Thank you, but it must be obvious that the God of Abraham has nothing in common with Allah, who is unknowable, who had no soul, who is the greatest deceptor and who is the only god I know of who instituted prostitution or contract marriage for as short period as a weekend! From their fruits you shall know them!

As a devout Roman Catholic, I am ashamed of this Pope. We must return to the Truth and the fundamentals of our Faith.

He always has an angry face. Is he unhappy being pope? Is he angry with his fellow Christians? Christianity should bring inner peace. Instead, he seems to emulate one particular religion whose followers are perpetually angry.
Interesting how he’s always putting down Christians and praising Islam.
James Lincoln says
No Muzzies Here,
Not only does he have an angry face – he also has a bit of a temper.
Compare and contrast him with Mother Teresa – it’s like night and day…
Woke Infidel says
Sometimes people who are pain ridden involuntarily make faces that appear angry and unhappy. I have no idea if this is the case with the present pope, but I suppose it’s a possibility. As for his love affair with Islam, and apparent disregard for the theology of the company he keeps – well, that’s another question, isn’t it?

Wellington says
This man is not only an utter disaster to the Roman Catholic Church, to Christianity in general, to Western Civilization too, but to all the world.
I don’t know whether this doofus is “merely” a fool or somehow complicit, but what cannot be doubted by any informed individual is that his pontificate has done enormous harm to the human species. If truth prevails, and truth prevailing is not a certainty by any means, this should read as his legacy.
Lilith Wept says
Some people, priests ( maybe the Pope too? ) have allowed moslems to pray in active consecrated churches.
According to my copy of The Reliance of the Traveler f4.14 this is considered offensive.
Other places in the same ruling , that are considered offensive for a Moslem to pray in are
In a bath house or it’s outer room ( where clothing is removed)
In the middle of a path
At a rubbish dump
At a slaughterhouse
In places where taxes are gathered
In a church
Places likely to be contaminated by wine
On top of the Kaaba
Towards ( facing) a tomb. .
gravenimage says
Muslims make an exception with churches if they believe that this creeping Shari’ah will benefit Islam.
Marigold says
Pope Francis has also given his blessing for all religions to join in a world day of prayer on May 14 which was suggested by the UN Higher Committee of Human Fraternity to overcome the Covid 19 pandemic and restore the world to health and stability . There was no mention of repentance or unity in Truth under the ”gentle reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ” You can be a Muslim or even a Satanist it doesn’t matter.This sounds suspiciously like Pope Francis supporting a call for a Masonic one world religion.
