The Pope, “Fear of the Foreigner Can Infect Christians”
La Stampa-Vatican Insider ^ | 3/11/18 | Domenico Agasso

Francis in Trastevere visiting for the 50 years of the Community of Sant'Egidio. “The future of the world is living together”. We need a “globalization of solidarity”. Never say, “I have nothing to do with this”

Humanity needs a "globalization of solidarity and of the spirit". Because the future of the "global" world is living together. Pope Francis affirms this in his visit to Trastevere to the Community of Sant'Egidio, for the fifty years of its foundation. The Pontiff reaffirms how the commitment to build bridges, to keep dialogue open, to continue and meet with one another, is fundamental. And warns, “fear of the foreigner can infect Christians”.

This afternoon, 11 March 2018, the Bishop of Rome went to Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere to celebrate the half a century of life of the institution founded by Andrea Riccardi.

"Good evening, yet not so good, right? Impagliazzo said that Rome has its gates open but also the sky has them, and they have let all the water out". the Pope greets with a joke the people of Sant' Egidio who await him under the pouring rain in Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere. "Thank you for being here, thank you for your generosity, there is generosity and open heart for everyone here, without making any distinction, there are no room for “this one I like, this one I don't”, no, here, everyone is welcomed. Thank you so much, I wish all the best to each of you, to your families and also to your dreams and please pray for me".

Kinda hard there Popey when one “religion” has devoted itself to eradicating you from the earth.

“Christians, by their very vocation, are brothers and sisters to every person, especially the poor, even though a person may be their enemy”.


I do not think that is correct. If people refuse to accept the gospel, Christians are not compelled to aid them, to the detriment of other Christians and their families.

Moreover, Christian charity is to be directed to Christians first, and one’s own family first.

This pope advocates for rapists, murderers, and thieves.

Who does he claim to work for again? And who do you think he really works for?

Creepy drooling pervert Francis leered about Muslim invaders “fertilizing aging lady Europe”.

Yup, he’s afraid of the fearless ones. And he should be.

Christianity would not even exist today if these collaborators had been pushing this same message when the Moors or the Ottomans were invading Europe.

And so it will be erased from Europe’s future if they get their way today. There is no shortage of modern evidence for what moslems do to infidels and their heritage after seizing power.

I wonder what Pius II would think of this.

Dead.

You know at least a decade ago I warned some of the Catholics on FR that liberation theology was running rampant in Latin America and that for some reason the church leaders were not doing anything about it. No, not even John Paul II.

I was told that I did not know what I was talking about.

I wonder what they think now.

“fear of the foreigner can infect Christians”.

Do you mean like the fear the Church had of the Muslim hordes that from 650A.D. until the present have slaughtered over 100 million Christians? The same fear that launched at least 6 Crusades to stop the extermination of Christians and Western Civilization? How about the fear for your family and way of life from invading Mexican bandits and welfare grabbers?

Dear Pope, it's one thing to turn the other cheek to an insult, it's quite another to acquiesce to self destruction, elimination of one's cultural identity and bowing to the PC dictates of satanic incursions.

So who’s gonna win? The Muslim willing to die for his religion, or the Papist unwilling to kill for his?

It’s just a matter of time. Hope they enjoy their NWO and all that comes with it.
