Vatican spokesman: Islam teaches “non-violence in the name of God”

How could an organization that claims to speak for God and to be led by the Holy Spirit be so indefatigably committed to a lie? For it isn’t only Bruno Forte: the Pope has said the same thing, and it’s the official policy of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which winks at dissent on any number of actual Church teachings, but moves ruthlessly to suppress voices that dare to suggest that maybe Islam is not a Religion of Peace. It appears as if protecting the image of Islam is more important to Church leaders today than teaching the contents of their own faith.

Here are some salient quotations from the Qur’an:

2:191-193: “And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.”

4:89: “They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.”

[[Do these idiots even know what kind of person Mohammad was? Have they ever read the muslim field manual on making war against the rest of the world, aka the koran? These imbeciles are going to mislead a large number of people.]]

They know right well what islam is .
These are Jesuits . Jesuits were formed to destroy Protestants and that is exactly why they are doing what they are doing. Notice where they are encouraging the immigration to go to.

“Holy don’t make you smart.”

You aren’t Holy if you lie to your followers! This pope is just a Marxist from Argentina with an agenda. Nothing Holy about it!

I guess I was being kind. If they know Islam is violent and intentionally lie about it, then it is indeed pure deceit. The question is: why would they lie about it? What does the Vatican have to gain by covering for Islam?

I believe what we are seeing is the joining of Christianity with Islam. Chrislam...the whore...Babylon the Great...

Revelation 17:1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries." 3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7 Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns. 8 The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet will come. 9 "This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction. 12 "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." 15 Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled. 18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."

The West’s cognitive dissonance over Islam is reaching a fever pitch.

In England, the Left is celebrating the end of the BNP, the Catholic Church is proclaiming Islam a non-violent religion, and the German police send out water-cannons against middle-class native citizens - all while Muslim youth are rampaging and raping their way across German cities.

It is a very strange, very fraught situation. Such cognitive dissonance can not last, and when it ends - it will be ugly.

It’s not a recent phenomena.
Ill conceived corrupt institutions beget ever greater travesty.
God and Christ Never needed, wanted, or wrote asking for a pseudo-infallible bejeweled celebrity king intermediary on earth to interfere with the relationshio between god and man.
Nor did our father condone relic - saint adoration, unatural barren celibacy of priest and nuns, Virgin Mary worship, a Vatican rich beyond imagination, and so many suffer the children cruelty.

Nope, ongoing disturbing developments from this under-worldly institution don’t come as a surprise, at all.

The Problem of Islama never seemed to interest them.

The first clue should have been the RC murdered anyone having possession of The Word! 1800 years! Burned alive and or tortured for having God's Word.

Just what is so Holy about Rome? It was a Roman that put the spear in His side!

If Islam is a “religion of peace” then why did various Popes organize the Crusades to reclaim the Bible lands for Christianity? Islam had (or was in process) of conquering all of the Eastern and Western Mediterranean countries, Persia, Iraq, Turkey, many of the Mediterranean islands, Spain and Portugal. The Islamic Moors held the Iberian Peninsula for 800 years until they were expelled in 1492. The last Muslim attempted expansion into Europe was the Seige of Vienna in 1683 where Islam was stopped in its tracks. The Vatican had better pull its head out of the sand and recognize Islam for the death cult ideology it is and the threat to Western civilization. The Crusader's pushback against Islam lasted only 300 years, but Islam has been at war with the world for 1400+ years.

It’s big money for them .

a. $1,850 per refugee (including children) from the State Department.

b. Up to $2,200 for each refugee by participating in a U.S. DHHS program known as Matching Grant. To get the $2,200, the Volag need only show it spent $200 and gave away $800 worth of donated clothes, furniture, or cars.

c. The Volag pockets 25 percent of every transportation loan it collects from refugees it “sponsors”.

d. All Volag expenses and overhead in the Washington, DC HQ are paid by the U.S. government.

e. For their refugee programs, Volags collect money from all federal grant programs – “Marriage Initiative,” “Faith-based,” “Ownership Society etc., as well as from various state and local grants.

The program is so lucrative that in some towns the Catholic Church has lessened support for traditional charity works to put more effort into resettlement. It uses collection offerings to promote the refugee resettlement program.

Not exactly correct. Germany is evenly split between Catholics and Protestants, France is mostly Catholic, Greece and the Balkans are mostly Orthodox Christians. The one thing all have in common is they being consciously sold out by the craven political appeasers running their countries. the biggest traitors are in the European Union.

Right you are. The RC sanctioned the murder of bible owners / believers as recently as 1847.
No wonder our founding fathers and sensible citizens were greatly against the Roman Catholic Church and popery.
They knew their history.

Roman Catholic “Church” Prohibited Bible Reading

The following is excerpted from an article by David Cloud entitled, “The KJV and the Latin Vulgate”.

The Council of Trent (1545-1564) placed the Bible on its list of prohibited books, and forbade any person to read the Bible without a license from a Roman Catholic bishop or inquisitor. The Council added these words: “That if any one shall dare to read or keep in his possession that book, without such a license, he shall not receive absolution till he has given it up to his ordinary.”

    Rome’s attempt to keep the Bible from men has continued to recent times. Pope Pius VII (1800-1823) denounced the Bible Society and expressed shock at the circulation of the Scriptures. Pius VII said, “It is evidence from experience, that the holy Scriptures, when circulated in the vulgar tongue, have, through the temerity of men, produced more harm than benefit.” Pope Leo XII called the Protestant Bible the “Gospel of the Devil” in an encyclical letter of 1824. Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846) railed “against the publication, distribution, reading, and possession of books of the holy Scriptures translated into the vulgar tongue.” Pope Leo XII, in January 1850, condemned the Bible Societies and admitted the fact that the distribution of Scripture has “long been condemned by the holy chair.”

Dear Catholic friend, why do you think Rome prohibited Catholics, and others, from reading the Bible? Why do you think they killed millions of people and called them heretics for reading and believing the Holy Scriptures? Why did Pope Pius VII say that the Bible causes men more harm than benefit? Why would God’s word cause harm? The Devil and these fake religious leaders know that if you read the Bible with the intention of learning the truth, you will leave the false for what is true.

Over hundreds of years, the Catholic religion, headed by the popes, did unimaginable cruelties to Bible-believers. They were burned, tortured, imprisoned, banished, etc. because they would only believe the Bible. You may wish to view The Antichrist Slideshow for more information.

See Fox Book of Martyrs for horrific details of torture and murder of heretics, Jews, bible believing Christians, and Moors.

The true Islamophobes are those who are afraid of offending Muslims by telling the truth. So rather than cower in their fear, they tell lies, like Islam is a peaceful religion. Islam is Satan’s true religion, his answer to Christianity.
