Pope Francis Invites French Muslim Leaders to Meet in Vatican
Breitbart ^ | 10/10/16 | Thomas D. Williams

Pope Francis will receive a delegation from the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) in the Vatican on November 3, according to French media sources.

The five members representing the CFCM include President Anwar Kbibech, the three Vice-Presidents and the Secretary General of the organization, Abdallah Zekri. They will meet with the Pope in a private audience after meeting with the prelate in charge of relations with Islam, French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran.

“I am very happy to meet the Pope because he is a man of dialogue and a man of peace,” Adballah Zekri said.

A national elected body, the CFCM is the official Islamic interlocutor with the French state in the regulation of Muslim activities, and the de facto representative of all French Muslims before the government.

This meeting was reportedly organized on behalf of the Vatican by the French cardinals to strengthen interreligious dialogue between the two faiths, especially in the aftermath of a number of Islamist terror attacks. The French cardinals told the CFCM that the Pope had particularly appreciated the institution’s firm positions following the murder of Father Jacques Hamel on July 26 in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray by two terrorists belonging to the Islamic State.

I have no problem with this. As long as Christian leaders can meet in Mecca.

My relationship is with God. This man does not speak for me or Him.

At least that would speed the next conclave and probably seal the election of a Catholic as Frankie’s replacement. The head should be placed near a baseboard of St. Peter’s Basilica, but in plain sight, lest we forget this utterly regrettable excuse for a papacy.

Francis is a moron. Islam and Christianity cannot coexist.

Take them to Castel Sant’Angelo, and drop them in a hole with Cavaradossi.

Completely ignorant of history. Oct. 7 was the anniversary of The Battle of Lepanto, a naval engagement taking place on 7 October 1571 in which a fleet of the Holy League, a coalition of European Catholic maritime states arranged by Pope Pius V, led by Spanish admiral Don Juan of Austria and mostly financed by the Spanish Empire, decisively defeated the fleet of the Ottoman Empire on the northern edge of the Gulf of Corinth, off western Greece. Oct 10, was the anniversary of The Battle of Tours (10 October 732)[17] — also called the Battle of Poitiers and, by Arab sources, the Battle of the Palace of the Martyrs (Arabic: معركة بلاط الشهداء‎, translit. Ma'arakat Balāṭ ash-Shuhadā’‎)[18][19][20] — was fought in an area between the cities of Poitiers and Tours, in north-central France, near the village of Moussais-la-Bataille, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Poitiers Without winning those and the seige of Vienna Sept 11. 1683, there would not be any Christianity or western civilization. This fake Pope is an idiot.

I'd say very naive at best.

Or will there be a miracle?

There are already over 2,500 mosques in France, the eldest daughter of the Church.

How much further appeasement must Francis grant the devil-worshippers?

this current so called ‘pope’ is driving my Roman Catholic friends to their very own brand of ‘protestantism’.

funny in a way, but not surprising. our catholics here, are for the most part, bible believing, sin confessing, ones who seek to obey Jesus... and eschew this current poser.

How long before he starts calling the faithful... the unredeemed and rebels against God, for rejection of Islam?

If the Institution of the Roman Catholic Church does not get serious about praying this particular heretic out.... God will no doubt take matters into His own capable hands.

Ananias and Saphira are no joking matter.
Their punishment brought great fear and reverence on the Body of Christ at that time.... we need some of that in every nook and cranny of Christendom.

In the parable of the foolish virgins... the ten fools, did NOT TRIM THEIR WICKS or refill their lamps even though they KNEW the bridegroom was getting into town right away.

The church is looking like the foolish virgins... more and more. Not just the Roman Catholics either.
