Wouldn’t it be nice if a pope stood up for Christians, instead of Muslims.
Instead, Pope Leo is following in the footsteps of Pope Francis by refusing to discuss Christian genocide in Africa, while remaining obsessed with importing Muslims into Christian countries and creating a Muslim terrorist state inside Israel.
Whom does that help? Certainly not Christians.
Driving that point home, Pope Leo has been visiting Muslim countries that were once Christian.
Pope Leo XIV has made his first visit to a mosque since his election, and while he removed his shoes as a sign of respect, he did not appear to pray.
On Saturday, Leo went to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, a 17th-century place of worship considered an Ottoman-era architectural masterpiece, with turquoise ceramic tiles adorning its walls and dome.
Leo, accompanied by local Muslim leaders, walked through the mosque’s courtyard and, after taking off his shoes, was shown around the interior in his white socks. The first American pope, who is a keen Chicago White Sox baseball fan, recently joked that he always wears “white socks.”
Aşgın Tunca, a Muezzin, said Leo had been invited to pray during his visit
There was further confusion when the Vatican press office sent out a statement after the visit saying Leo had prayed at the mosque and that he had been welcomed by the head of Turkey’s state-run religious body, despite neither event occurring. The Vatican later said the statement, which referred to Leo observing “a brief moment of prayer,” had been sent in error and taken from the booklet produced before the trip.
Did he pray? Didn’t he pray? More relevantly, did he mention the status of the Islamic hijacking of the Hagia Sophia?
Pope Leo’s Muslim handlers certainly know the history of the Blue Mosque which was built to appeal to Allah after their failure to capture Vienna. Does Pope Leo? Past popes would have known Europe’s history of conflicts with Islam. I’m skeptical he does.
The irony hit harder when Pope Leo visited Lebanon: a formerly Christian state.
The Rev. Issam Ibrahim remembers when citrus orchards surrounded Mar Youssef Maronite church in the southern suburbs of this city, where generations of Catholic families celebrated baptisms, first communions, confession and confirmations.
Then, the transformation came.
Beginning with the Lebanese civil war, and the decades of conflict and economic strife that followed, the area south of Lebanon’s capital underwent sweeping demographic change. Amid violence perpetrated by all sides, the pews of Mar Youssef emptied as Christians left and Lebanese Shiites, a core base of support for Hezbollah, the sprawling political and military group, moved in.
Violence was “perpetrated by all sides”, yet the Christians fled and Islam took over.
And when parishioners enter the church hall, they’re greeted not only by a photo of Pope Leo XIV but also, through a window, by a giant mosaic of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah’s main sponsor.
As a result, during his three days in Lebanon, Leo is expected to echo a litany of previous popes who have delivered a singular message to Christians in the Middle East: Please stay. “The darker the hour, the more faith shines like the sun,” he said in an address ahead of his trip.
Stay for what? Does the Catholic Church have more meaningful support to offer than stay and stay silent about Muslim persecution?
Pope Leo has nothing to say about the Islamic persecution of Christians, but he did declare that “the Holy See, for many years, has publicly supported the proposal of a two-state solution. We all know that in this moment Israel still does not accept this solution, but we see it as the only solution that could offer a solution to a conflict that is continuously live”.
Because the one thing Christians in the Middle East (never mind Jews and everybody else) need is another Muslim terrorist state.
If Pope Leo is going to call for a two-state solution anywhere, how about in Lebanon?
No Pope has any standing to offer their opinion to Israel. It’s disrespectful for them to think so highly of themselves.
Pimp Leotard is a huge disappointment. I guess the Council of Cardinals are incapable of choosing a competent Pope. They just choose open borders scumbags.
Sounds like the sort of Pope that would support the Nazis in World War Two
That didn’t happen . Your misstating history., not good
They look pretty chummy to me. Shit.
Like this? Yes, the Vatican helped Nazis escape after World War II, largely through a network of routes called “ratlines”. This was facilitated by individual clergy, including Bishop Alois Hudal, and some church organizations that provided false identities and safe passage, often to South America. While the Vatican states these individuals acted without official approval, the help was motivated by anti-communist sentiment and a desire to preserve a Christian Europe.
How the help was provided
Ratlines: A network of routes that helped war criminals and collaborators flee Europe.
False identities: The Vatican Refugee Commission helped issue false identities to war criminals.
Safe houses: Hideouts in monasteries and churches provided temporary shelter for those escaping.
Facilitating travel: Clergy helped arrange travel, often by sea from Genoa to destinations in South America.
This pope is still calling for a two-state solution, saying Israel is not for it, but not mentioning that Palestinians only want their state “from the river to the sea.” Disgusting. A tool of the hard left.
Gaza was a state. They had their own border and their own elected government. They used their state to go to war with Israel. Israel should evict the Gazans and annex it and settle it with Jews.
the pope is an apostate , his muslim cohorts are barbarians . there is evil then there is islam followed closely by catholicism . both give you a one way ticket to hell .
Perhaps the Pope is auditioning for his preferred role of False Prophet as per Revelation chapter 13.
Yes! He is either the false prophet or a precursor to the FP.. for sure. I’ve been waiting to see if he was going to follow in his predecessor’s footsteps, trying to combine Muslim and Christianity and make all religions one in the world. Smacks of state sponsored religion if you ask me. But that is exactly what the False Prophet is going to do. Ecclesiastical Babylon if you will.
I can’t organize the information as you have, but my rough categories have no tension between the Pope and the enemies of the church – and so they work together. They are enemies of Christendom.
So the Bogia Popes are going to lose their status as the worst of the Popes. And think, he is just getting started…
The most nauseating part about this Lebanon trip was all the children who happen to be Hezbollah “Mahdi” scouts welcoming him, with some of them holding up posters of the dead Hezbollah leader Nasrallah.
In my opinion, this is the worst kind of child grooming.
I like your ID. I would guess you heard that a lot when you were a young rascal.
That whirring sound you can hear from the Vatican is a whole host of Popes spinning in their graves, all the way up to the latest Pope Benedict.
Bush43 did the same supplicant bullshit after 9/11.
He visited a mosque with his shoes off, invited imams to the White House to reassure them, and proclaimed islam the “religion-of-peace!”
Not exactly the rallying cry to resolve this nation’s new direction.
For good measure, the soft prick left Norman Mineta in charge as Transportation Secretary, imported lots of islamists instead of deporting them.
Bush41 felt tender about the plight of Somali low-lifes, and dumped ’em here in ’91; turning Saint Paul into the cesspool it is today.
The pope would never support Christians. He has no concern for Christians. He is of his father the devil. Satan’s agenda is one world religion and that certainly does not include Christians. It will be all false religions and satan is their god. I often think when the pope says or does something that is so anti Christian, ‘how can he say that…’ but then I remember what he is is all pretending. A form of godliness but without God. They worship God with their lips but their hearts are far from Him. They use biblical Christian words but their meaning is false. Their god’s son was not all sufficient in paying the wrath of their god. They have to do everything they can to help him to save themselves. They borrow the words father, jesus and Holy spirit but they don’t know who God is, they don’t know the Father, they do not know the Lord Jesus Christ, they do not know the Holy Spirit.
Perhaps this pope think Islam is a peaceful religion. That says a lot about him and what he knows and thinks.
You have to applaud the Muslims though, for their clever strategy. Get Christians to destroy the Jews and then destroy Christians who, as we’re witnessing, are meekly allowing themselves to be conquered and destroyed.
It’s shameful and embarrassing.
1993 graduate of Grace and Glory Bible College here. In light of the Holy Scripture, the “P0PE” is a false “vicar” of Christ. A false repersentative. Strict Catholic doctrine is opposite of true Christian doctrine. If you want me to elaborate on that, let me know. The Catholic church is the false Church of Christ.
Going deeper into the subjct of the Pope’s action, I believe that he is just another cog in the wheel of the Satanic, diabolical, insideous destruction of the free world.
How does this global movement look in scriptural prophecy? The answer is here in the drean image of Daniel 2. In verse 42-43 this mixing of the iron and clay is the mixing of Islam and the false Catholic church.
So it was prophesied and God’s word is ALWAYS TRUE.
Please elaborate. I’m interested.
He’s from Chicago. I wonder if Obama’s got his hands all over him like the last Pope.
Were they members of the same “social club”?
I am not a Catholic but a Baptist. I do not understand how a Pope can do this. Islam’s goal is to eliminate all other religions by any means necessary and that includes killing people. In the Quran they plan to take over the world. I believe Satan has got his hands into this Pope and into Islam. To rid the world of Islam it will be bloody and very long on man.
I’m neither a Catholic or Baptist or anything else. I’m just a man instilled with Christian morals and values and live by them. Calling myself a this or a that or some other sectarian label is of no utility to me.
Religious dogma and sectarianism has been the bane of human existence for several millennia. I want no part of it.
The very same Phony Pope that worships a Block of Ice
Lol, this uneducated spineless cosplaying catholic pope should have his title rejected. Doesn’t this fool know that the muslim religion was started to go against the catholics, which all christians were then. And muslims have killing christians, and jews for 1400 years. What an absolute idiot.
The following is the undoing of Chrsitians. If not for disobeying this teaching, the world would have become enslaved much sooner than it has:
“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you..”
I.e., be a doormat, presumably because Jesus will return “soon” and it won’t matter.
This has application to us here in the US. Every sanctuary city and state follows these principles exactly. Now we know it’s outcomes.
Doormat indeed. In this reality, it’s better to be feared than liked. Fear breeds respect. Lack of fear breeds contempt. Muslims have nothing but contempt for Christians.
By the way, Islamic jihad doesn’t work in China. Moreover, muslim jihadists are sensible and fearful enough too not go effing around with the Chinese.

A pope is essentially above all else a Roman. He can only stand for the riches and power and corruption of Rome’s commandeered and perverted version of Christianity.
Jeshua Messiah does not need a clone of Himself on earth as the pope thinks of himself as!
The God of the Bible has been given ALL authority in heaven and in earth. He shares His Authority with NO ONE, no not even the so called Victor of Christ!!
