Will the Next Pope Be Another ‘Pope
of Islam’?

Original Article

Will the next pope continue the last pope’s consistent record of appeasing Islam? The late Pope Francis had a long record of whitewashing Islamic jihad violence and making moral equivalence arguments in order to downplay jihad terror. Back in 2017, Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, noticed the pope’s yeoman service for the Islamic cause and thanked him for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.” Francis was not just a defender of Islam but also a defender of the Sharia death penalty for blasphemy. After Islamic jihadists in Jan. 2015 murdered the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists who had drawn Muhammad, Francis obliquely justified the murders

Jesus clearly and repeatedly said, 'Peace'. Islam, by it's own scriptures, is openly at war with every other faith and culture. Believing and claiming otherwise is neither Christian not intelligent. I truly do not understand where Francis came from because he sure seemed to often put Jesus in the back seat relative to other problems.

Since I do not have a "dog in that fight," I'll just be over on the sidelines, taking notes and checking boxes. I can always watch it on TV with the sound turned off, the better to see black or white smoke, when it's all over but the shouting.

Another Pope like Francis will further the decline of the Church. Bad enough, the sexual molestation scandal that cost the Church millions and outraged the public plus the faithful, and now they are going woke. Surely the Catholic hierarchy know that the Islamists would kill them all given the chance, so it must be ideology driving their suicidal stupidity.

Remember Pope Francis has been called out as being politically somewhere between being a socialist and a communist by some pretty leading politicians including the President of his native country, Argentina. There is little doubt that Pope Francis had no problem involving himself in the secular politics of countries all over the world, thus acting as a secular politician himself. When a Pope does that, in accordance with Catholic dogma such a Pope is not considered to be infallible as he is while addressing direct matters of the Catholic religion. In that respect there is little doubt that Pope Francis counseled Biden who portrayed himself as be one of the most devout Catholics in politics, to regardless of the US immigration laws to “open” the US borders to unlimited numbers of Third World origin so-called irregular migrants (illegal aliens) so that they could supposedly make better lives for themselves and their extended families; and we can see that Biden immediately complied, with Biden’s leftist and progressive crew, and with leftist and progressive Democrat activists across the board, many of them involved with Democrat aligned non-governmental organizations (NGOS) who suck up huge amounts of US taxpayers money to use in doing everything possible to encourage and invite more mass uncontrolled illegal immigration in unlimited numbers, pleased as punch for Biden handing them the future chance to transform the ongoing massive illegal alien population into future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters in unlimited numbers to keep the Democrats in permanent political power on into the future. Remember Pope Francis had been the Pope for about twelve years, and throughout those many years had the opportunity to reshape the College of Cardinals by appointing many new Cardinals who are also very liberal politically when it comes to secular politics, and it will be the College of Cardinals who will decide who will become the next Pope.

The "next" Pope will probably be approaching 80. Gray or Silver haired. "Kick The Bucket" probably in 5 years. Concentrate of global climate change versus getting the pervs out the door. Purple of green hair is a plus. A Socialist, like the previous Pope, will earn double points. Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Announcement will be made by smoke signals. See you Sunday at attention.

The fact is we DO have a lot in common with Islam: they love the Blessed Mother, they oppose baby killing, and they try try to help the poor. B all means we should seek common ground. No lie we have differences also: they are the intellectual heirs of the priest Lucius whose views the Church condemned approx 325 AD, and along those lines they do not value the Crucifixion of Christ as the willingly paid price of our salvation nor that Jesus Himself, suffering and patience and all, is the only begotten Son of God, whom death could not hold, from which, death, whre is thy victory? But that said, it takes until the year 325 AD for their ideas to have been condemned totally and forever, and that means we do have a lot in common, we do. Do.

Don’t be discouraged, but this is the worst, most horrifying story I have ever had to cover. Whatever we believed the trafficking problem was, things were much worse, much more literally demonic, and much more widespread than anyone imagined. The first clue appeared yesterday in FBI Director Kash Patel’s astonishing tweet: (Snip) Deeply disturbing is an understatement. For whatever reason, the media isn’t reporting the whole story. But the Trump Administration has initiated one of the largest and most urgent federal law enforcement responses in history. The ABC article buried the lede, which was that the entire FBI is now involved in responding to an altogether new and horrifying threat.

BRADDOCK, Pennsylvania — Sen. John Fetterman‘s (D-PA) mental acuity was just fine to Democrats. But then he stood up for Israel. And now, to hear his anonymous staffers moan, you would think he was Joe Biden Part II. He is not. (Snip) Gone were any signs of the early struggles he faced between May of 2022 and February of 2023 when he was in recovery from both the side effects of his stroke as well as depression; in place instead was the man I have covered since he first ran for office as mayor of this old steel town in 2005 and won by absentee ballot.

In the weeks before David Horowitz’s passing, he wrote an article and finished another book. In and out of the hospital, he would call me on the phone to relay another idea for a series or another article about the Left. (Snip) The one thing that David would never do is give up. His superhuman endurance was not physical, it was a matter of conviction. Long after his body had failed, he kept going, writing, thinking, arguing and above all else…fighting. In his final op-ed, ‘The Biggest Lie of All’, published weeks before his death, David reproved Republicans for underestimating Democrats and the Left. That had been his overriding theme

A remarkable situation is fast developing in which the West is becoming more Islamist — the term for Islamic holy war extremism — than the Arab Muslim world itself. This week, Jordan banned the extremist Muslim Brotherhood. All Brotherhood offices there have been closed, and its assets will be confiscated, shortly after 16 of its members were arrested in an alleged armed plot against the kingdom. The authorities found weapons and explosives being stored in residential areas and transported across Jordan; secret missile-manufacturing facilities that could have produced up to 250 short-range missiles; and “training and recruitment operations” linked to the group.

As millions of Americans anxiously await action from the new HHS leadership against the deadly COVID-19 mRNA injections—injected into over 9 million children this year—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has finally gone publicly on the offensive: (Snip) The recommendation for children was always dubious. It was dubious because kids had almost no risk for COVID-19. In the largest review to date on myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. COVID-19 vaccination, Mead et al found that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not only significantly more common but also more severe—particularly in children and young males. Our findings make clear that the risks of the shots overwhelmingly outweigh any theoretical benefit:

There’s Real Evidence for Easter 24 replies
Posted by Judy W. 4/19/2025 6:47:25 AM Post Reply
If you think politicians make outlandish claims, consider what Christians celebrate at Easter. They believe a man named Jesus was brutally tortured, murdered, and buried for three days before rising from the dead. Furthermore, they assert this man was also fully God and that your belief or lack of belief in him determines your eternal destiny. Christians have no video evidence or DNA tests to prove this. That’s understandable since Christians say the event Easter celebrates took place almost 2,000 years ago. Americans can’t even agree on things that happened two weeks ago. Isn’t Easter an ancient example of “fake news,” a myth propagated by people putting faith over historical realities?

The NCRI study links this cultural shift to the December 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione.

What if I told you that when federal district judges issue injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s policies in a judicial insurrection, they were the ones breaking the law? No, it’s not just because these judges are effectively usurping the authority of the president over the executive branch. It’s more clear-cut than that. When Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., issued an order demanding the Trump administration return reputed members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to the U.S., he wasn’t just making immigration policy—he was violating a black-and-white rule laid down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated. The new law, which will take effect on July 27, eliminates the long-standing confidentiality of the confessional, forcing Catholic leaders and lawmakers into a highly charged standoff over religious liberty and child protection. However, the Archdiocese of Seattle and several bishops argue that the law not only contravenes church doctrine but crosses constitutional lines, while supporters maintain it is a crucial step to protect minors from abuse.

Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s popularity is underwater among Democratic voters in his state according to an internal poll. The poll was performed from Feb. 6 to 11 — three months before New York Magazine released an article reporting that staff and other sources close to the senator worry for his physical and mental health, which Fetterman has since called a “one-source hit piece.” With the poll arriving on the heels of the story, Democrats have “begun looking into rules” regarding the senator’s potential resignation and are “whispering about potential replacements,” according to Politico, who first reported the poll.
