The Next Pope and Islamic Prophecy (TROP™ covets Rome and the Vatican)

I've got a buddy from high school who is in Saudi Arabia right now. He has told me about the repression of all non-Muslims there. He is part of an underground Catholic Church there and passed along this story to me:

Heard a funny anecdote yesterday too from one of the guys that helps to run our underground Catholic Church here. The Bishop for the entire Arabian Peninsula is in Abu Dabi and has built 12 churches in all the countries here except Saudi Arabia where it's illegal to practice any religion except Islam.

It was only like 25 years ago or so that he came to the region and before that there wasn't a single Catholic Church on the entire Peninsula. So anyways.....when they were building the largest of the Churches in Abu Dabi, the Muslim government there had a huge mosque built right next to it with 4 large towers on it's four corners. Well the construction labor force that had built the Church was a group of Christian TCN's and since they were available, the government used them to build the mosque as well. Before the construction was complete, the Christian workers placed a blessed Miraculous Medal in the top of each of the four towers. The Muslims are unaware of this to this day and even if they found out, they'd have to rip the mosque's towers apart to find them. I just think the irony of it is cool and pretty humorous since the location of the mosque was meant to overshadow the Church but it was Christians that had the last laugh there. ;-)

The bishop's name is Bernardo. Looks and sings like Pavarotti. He is about to retire. My two sons were confirmed by him. I am well aware of the underground Catholic church in SA. Smuggled the Blessed Sacrament on my body a number of times to distribute among the Philippino laborers. Spent 20 years working in Saudi and Yemen in the oil industry. Bishop Bernardo's personal secretary is from India. He was our pastor when we were living in Sana'a, Yemen.

If they even breathe on the Vatican the wrong way, they'll have so many Catholics (not to mention some pretty hardcore pissed off IRA members) giving them a taste of their own medicine in Mecca and Medina that they won't know what hit them.

The difference between their terrorists and ours? Ours don't blow themselves up to complete their missions. They may have more of them but ours can be used more than once. This raises another point. While I agree that we need to do a better job on the population front, they're negating their advantage in numbers via their suicide missions.

If these turds want a jihad, we'll give them a crusade!!!

re: immigration of hostile anti-Christian types

There is moral relativism and cultural relativism ("multiculturalism") involved in the liberal junk thought that has seen no problem with allowing monstrous immigration of anti-Christian/anti-Western Muslims into Western countries. The liberal idea that all values and cultures are equal has something to do with the impending crisis for Europe. But this idea in itself is connected with anti-Christian ideology - devaluing the Christian aspects of Western civilization (as if they don't matter). Western countries have allowed themselves to become dominated by small minority cabals of anti-Christian wacko secular humanists (liberals, socialists, etc.).

Would anyone want Charles Manson and his "family" cult to move into their neighborhood? That's about what you are dealing with in the radical Islam cults.

* Amen. One author describes Mohamed as "part John Gotti, part David Koresh." That same author warns us that when Christians return to their Faith in later years, they meet the Prince of Peace but when Muslims return to their roots when they are adults, they meet the person of Mohammed.
