Pope Francis' run-in with Benedict XVI over the Prophet Mohammed

Reacting within days to the statements, speaking through a spokesman to Newsweek Argentina, then Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio declared his "unhappiness" with the statements, made at the University of Regensburg in Germany, and encouraged many of his subordinates with the Church to do the same.

"Pope Benedict's statement don't reflect my own opinions", the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires declared. "These statements will serve to destroy in 20 seconds the careful construction of a relationship with Islam that Pope John Paul II built over the last twenty years".

“There is also the superstition of the Ishmaelites which to this day prevails and keeps people in error, being a forerunner of the Antichrist…. From that time to the present a false prophet named Mohammed has appeared in their midst. This man, after having chanced upon the Old and New Testaments and likewise, it seems, having conversed with an Arian monk, devised his own heresy. Then, having insinuated himself into the good graces of the people by a show of seeming piety, he gave out that a certain book had been sent down to him from heaven. He had set down some ridiculous compositions in this book of his and he gave it to them as an object of veneration.”

-St. John Damascene (d. 749)

Yes, I think those are false stereotypes of Islam. And I am in complete agreement with the position that we should avoid false stereotypes. I may disagree with the Pope on what those happen to be, but there is room for diversity in the Church on such thing, and the Pope is free to read my tagline, which is a quote from someone that he canonized.

May God please shut the Francis up before he sows (further?) unnecessary seeds of confusion in the Church.

As I sit here, and can't sleep, it seems to me that too many things are happening at the same time, and that it's almost too much to not be interconnected, or even in some way coordinated.

We have leftist anarchists and Marxists in the streets of the US.
We have a coup attempt against a sitting and duly elected American President.
We have a pandemic that shuts down commerce and sidelines one of the best US economic periods - and the pathogen originates in the biggest Communist nation in the world.
We have socialist radicals, like AOC and her squad friends, elected to the US Congress - out of specifically targeted districts.
We have revolt against the police, at the same time that leftist radicals are carrying guns and trying to become militarized.
We have the Pope of the Catholic Church embracing socialism/Communism and surrendering the sanctity of the Church.
We have Uber-wealthy individuals like Soros being allowed to fund radicalism around the globe.

And so much more.

And, all of this is launched during the successful Presidency of a man whose stated goal is to restore American economic and military strength, fight back against the growth of Communist China - particularly growth at the expense of the US, remove political power from non-elected bureaucrats, stop judicial activism, and to ensure adherence to our Constitution.

I personally think that the world left was in no great hurry, until the election of Trump. They saw reversal of things they thought were irreversible, and felt/feel that their grand plan is threatened.

...or even in some way coordinated.

We have been like frogs in water slowly coming to heat for decades. Now that they see their shangrila is close at hand they are pulling out everything they have to put Christians away for good.

It's not islam, budhists or any other religion they hate it's Christians and we will be killed for our beliefs.

It's crazy to think that this is what is happening but it's true.

The bible already foretold what will become of those that put us to death for his name sake so we have the blessed hope of a kingdom to come with no crying, hurt or agony.

For me and my family we will not go down without a fight and have been preparing for what is surely coming.

I don't think about rapture very much because there are so many different opinions on the subject. I do know though that Revelation tells of our persecution so I am ready for whatever may come.

Stay in prayer and he will give you peace as promised. You know when he is close and you can feel his love near you and you don't ever want him to leave. He will stay with you for a few and let you know that he is alive and there with you at all times.

No, nevergiveup, don't give up.

So when is the Vatican going to shun stereotypes of “trailer trash” and “hillbillies?”

Your list is well done,

This is not events merely happening on their own, this is an all-out orchestrated effort on the side of evil, but its not just about treasonous men working in the deep state shadows with the support of vain corrupted politicians in both parties, weaponized security agencies, Mainstream News organizations, Social Media, multinationals, Tech giants, Marxist Governments and rabid leftists organizations,

The core of the battle is not against flesh and blood,

That same evil spirit that moved in and out of that demonic Obama carcass lost the White House (I believe) because Hillary would not completely surrender to it, this is why she went bobble-headed on multiple occasions which they were mostly successful in covering up,

It is working to get itself back on the throne of America. Joe Biden is just a placeholder, its who they place on the ballot with him whether its that wretched Obama or another, it wont make the same mistakes as last time,

Only much prayer and fasting can defeat this kind,

Why are people still reacting to this as if this is something new? It’s decades old: see Vatican II.
