The Secretary of the Vatican State, reaffirms that there will be no step back: We are launching a campaign of mercy. The events in Paris don't change anything in the Pope's agenda.
VATICAN CITY - Respond with mercy and hospitality to violence.
The Secretary of the Vatican State, Pietro Parolin, has confirmed that the Jubilee (from December 8th 2015 to November 20th 2016) is on schedule, as the spokesman for the Holy See, Padre Lombardi had already said, and that, in fact, will be open also to Muslims. "In a world torn by violence, it is the right time to launch the campaign of mercy" said the Cardinal in an interview with the French Catholic newspaper La Croix. "It is understandable that there are sentiments of revenge after the attacks, but we really need to resist them. The Pope wants the Jubilee to be used for people to meet each other, understand each other and rise above hate," explains the Secretary of the Vatican State.
After the attacks, this endeavor appears more pressing. We receive the mercy of God in order to adopt this behavior with others. Mercy is also the most beautiful name of God for Muslims, who can also be involved in the Holy Year, as this is what the Pope wants..."
The attacks in France show that "nobody can think they are safe from terrorism. The Vatican may be a target for its religious importance. We are able to increase the level of security measures in the Vatican and its surroundings. Let's not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear," Parolin added.
"These events change nothing in the Pope's agenda."
In order to respond to what happened in Paris, "we need a general mobilization in France, Europe and the entire world. A mobilization by all the agents of security, from the police and the intelligence forces in order to root out the evil of terrorism. But [we need] also a mobilization that reveals all the spiritual resources which give a positive response to this evil. This necessitates education in the rejection of hate as well as to respond to the young who choose the jihad. We have to call on all the players, politicians and religious, national and international.
"We must truly make an effort together to fight and combat. Without this unity, this extremely hard battle will not be won. And it is necessary to involve the Muslim players, they have to be part of the solution..."
Curious ... Mohammedanism is a variant of the Arian heresy.
Still waiting for the false pope invite a few hundred “refugees” onto his lush grounds and into his ornate palaces.
Religious leaders and religious people can agree try to deal with Muslims rationally. Governments on the other hand are directed to protect their citizens. Governments do not deal with religions per se, they deal with actions taken against their citizens. The government has no option to “talk” to attackers against their citizens, the government must act.
Blow ISIS out of existence.
Good grief. What mockery, has befell a false priest? The echo is emptiness, resounded by the bland horror of a dead response.
May Jesus bless, to heal our shortgivings.
That would be a great thing to do for the Muslim population in Europe. Both good for the eternal souls of the Muslim individuals and good for Europe.
Somehow, I have a feeling that this is not what he's talking about.
Islam must be destroyed.
The above picture tells us everything we need to know about Muslim "refugees."
You're right - it isn't. He is not talking about the fact that everyone needs Jesus.
What the Vatican, the pope, Obama, Merkel, the EU, the UN, the IMF, the Fed, and all the rest want is a Global System (monetary, political, religious). This is the One World System of the soon to be coming Antichrist.
Befallen.
Yes, the baptismal fonts are open to them.
I second it. Pray for the conversion of the Muslims to Christ.
Ditto.
Excellent point.
Ptuh!
