FRENCH PRIEST ARRESTED: ISLAM IS A PUNISHMENT FROM GOD FOR APOSTASY
The Cape Fear Caller ^ | February 24, 2014 | Kevin Whiteman

Posted on 02/24/2016 8:56:12 PM PST by ebb tide

Father Guy Pages has made quite clear that he loves God, Christendom, and his native France. Due to his fidelity to The Almighty, the Church and his homeland, Abbe Pages has found himself persecuted by civil authorities on the grounds of advocating terrorism.

As noted by Andrew Bieszad on the Walid Shoebat news portal, French police have arrested the Catholic priest as well as shut down his website, Islam-et-Verite.com (Islam and Truth). Despite the government attempting to silence the Abbé, Bieszad cites an interview he recently gave to the website Polinia Christiana (Christian Poland).

Unafraid to boldly declare the truth, Fr. Pages will undoubtedly face the wrath of the radical Left, militant multi-culturalists, and even the surrenderistas within his own Church when he stated, "The countries of Western Europe, renouncing Christianity, began to promote the Islamization, and the Church itself seems to have nothing against the view that Islam is a religion of good."

Perhaps sending Islamic enablers into apoplectic fits of Biblical proportions, the controversial cleric continued with, "Europeans, as non-Muslims, they should be afraid of Islam because Islam wants to make them their subjects. Moreover, as already mentioned, the word 'Islam' means 'submission.' Submission to what? The Antichrist. Because who else can come after Christ, if not the Antichrist? Islam is coming to destroy the work of Christ."

Perhaps the best summation of the interview overall was Father Pages placing the blame of the Islamization of Europe and the collapse of Christianity on the continent directly at the door of both secular and Christian Europe, "Non-Muslims should therefore understand that if they rejected Christ, they will have the Antichrist. The development of Islam in the West is a tough punishment for apostasy."

Meanwhile, the French portal Resistance Republicaine has also cited the reason the French police raided the office of Fr. Pages website provider and subsequently seized the server and all related software, hardware and documents.

According to the site, the good Father is accused of violating France's State of Emergency, which was implemented in the wake of the Islamic jihadist attacks in Paris this past November. As noted, the charges were brought against the priest for embedding photos on his website of the carnage the Islamic terrorists visited on the patrons of the Bataclan Theater, where 89 were killed.

For posting the pictures of the slaughtered innocents, Father Pages has been charged with the following violation;

Article 5461-2, 227-24 and 225-17 of the Penal Code criminalizing respectively the " broadcast of a violent character message inciting terrorism, pornographic or likely to cause serious harm to human dignity [...] when this message is likely to be seen or perceived by a minor and breach in respect for the dead."

But in the meantime, Father Pages Facebook site Islam et Vérité is still up, at least for the time being.

Don't expect Humble Jorge to bail Fr. Pages out of jail. It would disrupt his goal to "build bridges" that no one ever crosses, out of respect for those on the other side of the bridge, e.g. Tony Palmer.

He’s right. Islam is a judgment on the west for rejecting Christ.

Even Russia is right on that point.

“The countries of Western Europe, renouncing Christianity, began to promote the Islamization, and the Church itself seems to have nothing against the view that Islam is a religion of good.

“Europeans, as non-Muslims, they should be afraid of Islam because Islam wants to make them their subjects. Moreover, as already mentioned, the word ‘Islam’ means ‘submission.’ Submission to what? The Antichrist. Because who else can come after Christ, if not the Antichrist? Islam is coming to destroy the work of Christ.”

God bless and keep this priest.

He speaks the truth.

Reminds me of another time in Europe, when evil came to power. I read a book about some young men in Hitler’s Germany who recognized his evil and spoke out against it. Teenagers.

One was beheaded, the other two conscripted and then sent into prison camps.

It was called, “When Truth was Treason.” It was an excellent book...and should give us pause, and sound the alarm in our hearts and minds when we see what is going on in Europe...and what enemies hear on these shores want to bring to us.

What goes around...comes around again.

Worldwide depression may save europe as hungry europeans would be more apt to wake up and kick out the islamists.

“Islam is a punishment from God for Apostasy”

It is sobering to look at the correlation between the prevalence of abortion in any given Western country and Islamic immigration.

Sounds like another round of Christian martyrs in the making.

The western Church was always more combative toward Islam than the eastern Church was. No longer, unfortunately.

I always think back to the 10th century when the Eastern Roman emperor Nicephorus Phocas wanted the eastern Church to accord martyr status to soldiers who died fighting the Moslems. The patriarch of Constantinople refused.

I recently read Hilliard Belloc’s the great heresies, and he says that Islam is actually a Christian heresy. This makes sense considering that Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet and venerate the Virgin Mary, but declares that Jesus was not divine. It is basically an extension of the Arian heresy but formed into a brand new religion.

A read of Joel the prophet will explain what is happening. You know that Joel that Peter spoke of on Pentecost day?

Will do, after I finish Chesterton’s treatise on St Francis of Assisi and St Thomas Aquinas both of which are currently on deck.

This priest speaks the truth. It should be shouted from the housetops in this country or we will go the way of Europe.

Islam is way beyond the Arian heresy. On a simplistic level I understand but many of the Arian persuasion would today be considered arguably normal Christians. Islam rejects both the Old and New Covenants and is replacement nonsense. From a textual critical view scripture wise not even comparable to the the Bible much of it incomprehensibly written in mostly 3rd person at a 6th grade grammer level.

There were a lot of religious influences back and forth.

Islam influenced the Eastern Roman empire in the 8th century in the form of iconoclasm — the destruction of religious images and icons. The warrior Isaurian emperors adopted iconoclasm.

Iconoclasm in turn alienated the Vatican, which had heretofore recognized the suzerainty of the Eastern Roman empire, and this contributed to the division of eastern and western Christianity.

The primary Christian heresies in the Middle Ages were derived from Manichaeism, which predated Islam. The duality here was between the the material world and the spiritual world, and this was a reflection of a dualism between a unitary good God (the God of the spirit world) and an evil god of the material world.

This concept of God was closer to the Moslem Allah than to the Christian, and in fact the Bogomils of the Balkans (a Christian heresy) converted in large numbers to Islam following the Ottoman conquest.

I agree with that priest.

Also in regard to what you said, I've been thinking of all our would-have-been-native-born children and replace them with Muslims, criminals, rapists, and I suppose a few of them are good people.

I stole part of that last line.

A lot of evangelicals, strangely enough, would agree. A form of religion but lacking its (godly) power.

I get it. It’s like the Inquisition but in reverse with Muslims replacing Jews.
