Pope Francis was not content with merely spreading the politics of Marxist wealth redistribution in his “climate change” fairyhoax encyclical, arguably the whole reason for its creation in the first place. He also chose to reinforce its supposed legitimacy by featuring a passage from an Islamic poet, Ali al-Khawas.
As reported in Breitbart News, the “climate” encyclical included a depiction of the Muslim poet as cautioning people not to “put too much distance between the creatures of the world and the interior experience of God.” The symbolism of incorporating this Islamic text into the encyclical is much more significant than the actual words.
What he did is as close to including Islamic teachings in a Catholic document as he could without actually quoting the Koran, an act which should have Catholics around the world scratching their heads, asking themselves “who is this guy and what is he up to?” Certainly that is what many non-Catholics are doing. There was no need for him to do what he did, either with the encyclical itself or with the Islamic inclusion and none of it is happening accidentally.
Francis quoted al-Khawas directly, writing, “The initiate will capture what is being said when the wind blows, the trees sway, water flows, flies buzz, doors creak, birds sing, or in the sound of strings or flutes, the sighs of the sick, the groans of the afflicted.”
Pope Francis has a pen and a phone of his own, it appears, which are now becoming just as infamous as those of his partner in crime, Hussein Obama. ....They share the same low opinion or hatred of America and the same goal of our downfall and ultimate elimination. Their tactics are virtually identical.

The text is innocuous, but including it shows his admiration for a violent world-domination ideology cleverly disguised as a religion.
I ask because they never said anything like what you claim they did. Saying that adherents of non-Catholic faiths have the right to practice their religion without persecution is not the same as saying those religions are "equally valid".
Wow! This should be interesting.
I hear ya. I had found a church and pastor I liked and listened and learned for several years. It takes time to hear what a pastor is NOT saying and when I realized just what he couldn’t talk about but should be was when I hit the eject.
So the pope is “vicar of Christ” except when he’s not?
the logical conclusion must be that Allah is God
I miss John Paul.
Or, at the very least, Peter Pan.
IBMWM.
“In Before Mohammed Was Misquoted”
Will the sheep continue to be led astray?
I’m not sure what that means, but he’s sure the strangest pope the catholics have had in a very long time.
“the interior experience of God”
Is this a bad translation or is it a Catholic doctrine of which I’m unfamiliar?
Also, who is “Peter the Roman”?
Thank you for that post.
From a former Episcopalian.
He doesn’t care what their ideology is. I read his document as primarily a political document, in which he employs faux morality disguised as religion in order to establish influence with certain favored groups. Sort of like Hillary pandering to certain groups with political influence.
I said a long time ago that the whole goal would be to bring catholicism and Islam under one roof, and make it the new world order religion. It’s coming.
Dietrich Von Hildebrand, one of the greatest Catholic theologians of the 20th Century that Pius XII called a 20th century “doctor of the Church”, believed that after Pius X’s condemnation of the heresy of Modernism, its proponents merely went underground. He would say that they then took a much more subtle and practical approach.
History repeats itself as we are witnessing with the last menace to the Church, the Marxist liberation theology.
In an interview to Dietrich wife, Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand, also a reputed philosopher and theologian, she stated: “It is a matter of public record, for instance, that Bella Dodd, the ex-Communist who reconverted to the Church, openly spoke of the Communist Party’s deliberate infiltration of agents into the seminaries. She told my husband and me that when she was an active party member, she had dealt with no fewer than four cardinals within the Vatican “who were working for us.”
Professor Alice Von Hildebrand mentioned two books that were published in 1998 and 2000 by an Italian priest, Don Luigi Villa of the diocese of Brescia, who at the request of Padre Pio has devoted many years of his life to the investigation of the possible infiltration of both Freemasons and Communists into the Church. My husband and I met Don Villa in the sixties. He claims that he does not make any statement that he cannot substantiate. When Paulo Sesto Beato? (1998 “Paul VI beatified?”) was published the book was sent to every single Italian bishop. None of them acknowledged receipt; none challenged any of Don Villa’s claims.
In this book, Father Luigi relates something that no ecclesiastical authority has refuted or asked to be retracted – even though he names particular personalities in regard to the incident. It pertains to the rift between Pope Pius XII and the then Bishop Montini (the future Paul VI) who was his Undersecretary of State. Pius XII, conscious of the threat of Communism, which in the aftermath of World War II was dominating nearly half of Europe, had prohibited the Vatican staff from dealing with Moscow.
To his dismay, he was informed one day through the Bishop of Upsala (Sweden) that his strict order had been contravened. The Pope resisted giving credence to this rumor until he was given incontrovertible evidence that Montini had been corresponding with various Soviet agencies.
Meanwhile, Pope Pius XII (as had Pius XI) had been sending priests clandestinely into Russia to give comfort to Catholics behind the Iron Curtain. Every one of them had been systematically arrested, tortured, and either executed or sent to the gulag. Eventually a Vatican mole was discovered: Alighiero Tondi, S.J., who was a close advisor to Montini. Tondi was an agent working for Stalin whose mission was to keep Moscow informed about initiatives such as the sending of priests into the Soviet Union.
In the second part of the 20th century the greatest threat to the Church was the massive Communist infiltration, especially in Latin America.
Like outposts of “Tondi’s” moles they stormed through all levels of the Church under the cover of Marxist liberation theology. We witnessed how the Marxist infiltration exploded in the 1960 and 70’s among many of the religious orders and diocesan clergy, inciting armed revolution all around Latin America with the support of the Cuban Stalinist regime, under the false pretense of liberating the oppressed and exploited masses. They share full responsibility for rivers of blood that flooded Latin America.
The Marxist liberation theology was the spearhead of the Communist infiltration of the Church and when it was unmasked by John Paul II and Benedict XVI they entered in hibernation until Pope Francis was elected and they resurged with strong impetus reaching the zenith of the Marxist infiltration under his papacy.
As soon as Pope Francis took power he rescued from the trash bin of History the Marxist liberation theology after it was proscribed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Now Francis is embracing another of the Communist front movements, the hoax of the global warming. Francis called the most radical of the Marxist liberation leaders, Leonardo Boff, who was silenced by H.H. Pope John Paul II, as one of his adviser for his encyclical that tries to give moral support to the global warming fraud, but instead Francis destroys his credibility and demeans the respect for the Catholic Church.
Francis is the first and only Pope that has been against the Magisterium of the Church on the constant condemnation of communism and opened the doors of the Vatican to the theologians who corrupted the Gospels with the doctrine of Marx. Most importantly, the Pope has backed his words with actions. During his visit to Brazil in 2013, the Pope held meetings with Liberation Theologians on preparing a new doctrine for the church.
“Socialist societies are very ethical, clean, physically and morally. If it weren’t for his materialist doctrine it could be argued that they carried out the ethical teaching of the social doctrine of the Church.” Leonardo Boff on his return from a trip to Moscow, cfr.ABC, 16-VII-87, p.45
Father Gustavo Gutierrez, father of the liberation theology embraced by Francis, explained: “What we mean here regarding liberation theology is the involvement of the revolutionary political process”. (10) Gutiérrez also explains the sense of this involvement: “Only by going beyond a society divided into classes. (…) Only eliminating private property of the wealth created by human work, will we be able to lay down the bases for a more just society. It is for this that the efforts to project a new society in Latin America are tending more and more towards socialism”.
“The national planning of the Society of Jesus in the United States should, following the example of China, become an international planning. Towards the convergence of problems in all areas of the world around a single theme: the construction in different times and forms of a world Communist society.” Strategic document of a group of Dutch Jesuits - in collaboration with other Jesuit revolutionaries—published for internal debate in the official journal of the society of Jesus in the United States, National Jesuit News, April 1972.
Francis rescued Marxist liberation theology from the trash bin of history, now he wants to exhume Mao’s Cultural Revolution.
In Pope Francis’ call for “a bold cultural revolution” to confront climate change, he is using classic Marxist terms (Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Marxist liberation theology) to promote a political agenda aimed toward the advance of “collectivism, redistribution of wealth, and global government.”
What Paul VI called smoke from Satan entering in the Church, now under Francis the smoke became a three alarm fire.

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "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."330
Considering the aforementioned picture and quote from the CCC, Satan has obviously had this in the works for decades.
If this pope had come out of the blue and done what this one is doing, there would have been push back.
But it’s the frog in the pot thing. Go slow and the people don’t realize they’re being cooked until it’s too late.
The enemy will bide his time. Anyone with any spiritual discernment should have seen this coming.
Yet.....
It’s amazing how it screams OWR loudly and clearly. And so many don’t see it.
Oh well, it has been so prophesied; so shall it come to pass.
