CFP: Had it not been for Pope Leo’s walls–and other Christian walls, such as Constantinople’s, which kept Islam out of Europe for centuries, and Vienna’s, which stopped a full-blown jihad as recent as 1683–there might not be a pope today.
Pope Francis continues to argue for two interrelated points that, while seemingly humane, compromise Western nations and expose their citizens to danger.
He reiterated his first point earlier this month when he said, “I appeal not to create walls but to build bridges.” Francis has made this appeal frequently, both figuratively (when imploring Western nations not to close their doors against more incoming Muslim migrants) and literally (for instance by characterizing Donald Trump’s proposal to build a U.S.-Mexico wall as “not Christian”).
Francis reiterated his second point a few days ago when he said, “Muslim terrorism does not exist.” His logic is that, because there are Christians who engage in criminal and violent activities—and yet no one blames Christianity for their behavior—so too should Islam not be blamed when Muslims engage in criminal and violent activities.
In this, the Catholic pope appears unable or unwilling to make the pivotal distinction between violence committed in accordance with Islamic teachings, and violence committed in contradiction of Christian teachings.
But there’s another relevant and often overlooked irony: every morning Francis wakes up in the Vatican and looks out his window he sees a very large and concrete reminder that gives the lie to both his argument against walls and his argument in defense of Islam. I speak of the great walls surrounding Vatican City, more specifically the Leonine Walls. more here
Yes, not only a wall but metal detectors as you enter St Peter’s. And the pope mobile & Swiss Guards. The pope and the elite have lots of security for themselves.
As a Catholic, I’ve always respected the Pope… Except for this asshole.
He’s a plant.
He doesn’t understand. He is not a student of history. He does not seem to realize what Irish Monks contributed to civilization.
I give up on this guy. He’s not my Pope.
Ironic: With liberals like the pope, European leaders and congress, and obama in charge, the Muslims didn’t have to invade.
Double irony: The asswhole liberals will be buried by the hoards of destruction, when -the invaders are finished.
Goodbye Eurabia, it was with fond memories
when I visited you 30 years ago.
May you enjoy your time kneeling to the knife.
We’re not going to save you this time.
Maybe the pope, Merkel, & etc, should read this essay from Matt Bracken. I love this man’s brain.
“I’m confused. Are you confused? Are they confused? Is our Media confused? Are our Politicians confused?
IF WE COULD JUST FIGURE OUT WHO’S CAUSING THE PROBLEM…
Let’s see… do I understand this thing correctly?
The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim The Beltway Snipers were Muslims The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim The underwear Bomber was a Muslim The U.S.S. Cole Bombers were Muslims The Madrid Train Bombers were Muslims The Bafi Nightclub Bombers were Muslims The London Subway Bombers were Muslims The Moscow Theater Attackers were Muslims The Boston Marathon Bombers were Muslims The Pan-Am flight #93 Bombers were Muslims The Air France Entebbe Hijackers were Muslims The Iranian Embassy Takeover, was by Muslims The Beirut U.S. Embassy bombers were Muslims The Libyan U.S. Embassy Attack was by Muslims The Buenos Aires Suicide Bombers were Muslims The Israeli Olympic Team Attackers were Muslims The Kenyan U.S, Embassy Bombers were Muslims The Saudi, Khobar Towers Bombers were Muslims The Beirut Marine Barracks bombers were Muslims The Besian Russian School Attackers were Muslims The first World Trade Center Bombers were Muslims The Bombay & Mumbai India Attackers were Muslims The Achille Lauro Cruise Ship Hijackers were Muslims The September 11th 2001 Airline Hijackers were Muslims

They’re not happy in Gaza They’re not happy in Egypt They’re not happy in Libya They’re not happy in Morocco They’re not happy in Iran They’re not happy in Iraq They’re not happy in Yemen They’re not happy in Afghanistan They’re not happy in Pakistan They’re not happy in Syria They’re not happy in Lebanon They’re not happy in Nigeria They’re not happy in Kenya They’re not happy in Sudan
*** SO, WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY? ***
They’re happy in Australia They’re happy in England They’re happy in Belgium They’re happy in France They’re happy in Italy They’re happy in Germany They’re happy in Sweden They’re happy in the USA & Canada They’re happy in Norway & India
They’re happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!
And who do they blame? Not Islam. Not their leadership. Not themselves.
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!!
AND THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN, TO BE LIKE THE COUNTRIES THEY CAME FROM, WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!
I’m completely stumped… Any idea who might be causing the problem? The protesters say it’s Trump.”
Pope Francis , Tear Down Those Walls! if you really believe your own Bullshit.
Pope St. John Paul II – world class philosopher
Pope Benedict – world class theologian
Pope Francis – chemistry professor

Correction:

Pope Francis – world class commie jesuit fuck
😉
Waiting for Francis to start pushing “hope and change”, and calls for “fundamentally changing” Catholic church. Maybe donating church money to something like the left’s defunct pride, Solyndra, and making up shit like Muslims invented algebra.
I bet our wall will be much nicer than his.
