“Barriers and police and army vehicles have been placed around St. Peter’s Basilica to make it harder for a vehicle to gather speed in an attack such as the one last week in Barcelona, which killed 13 people.”
What? This is unconscionable and Islamophobic! Pope Francis has declared: “Authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” And that the rights of Muslim migrants override national security concerns. And that every foreigner who knocks on our door is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ,
So why the high security at the Vatican? The Pope should welcome the jihadis as an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ. Send those police and army vehicles home. Tear down those barriers. It’s a religion of peace! What are Vatican authorities so nervous about?
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Vatican prepared for Barcelona-style terror attack – Swiss Guard,” Times of Malta, August 25, 2017:
It is perhaps “only a matter of time” before Rome is hit by a Barcelona-style attack but security forces are ready in case the Vatican is targeted, the head the Swiss Guard has said….
Barriers and police and army vehicles have been placed around St. Peter’s Basilica to make it harder for a vehicle to gather speed in an attack such as the one last week in Barcelona, which killed 13 people.
Despite threats from Islamic State, Rome and other Italian cities have so far been spared the kind of vehicle attacks that have also hit Nice, London, and Berlin.
“It could perhaps be just a matter of time before there is such an attack in Rome, but we are prepared,” Christoph Graf, the commandant of the Swiss Guard, was quoted as telling the Swiss Catholic website Cath.ch….
whaaaaat? They didn’t open their doors and hearts to them? And they have the nerve to tell us we should embrace islamic terrorists?
Tear down that 90 foot high wall, Mr. Pope.
Human dignity must come before national security. (I know some person said something like that, I just cannot remember who </s>)
I’ll give you a hint- Rhymes with rope
Tear down your Vatican walls, Francis.
The pope is a political activist and liar. My church of Rome is a cesspit of corruption otherwise this Pope would have never been elected by the school cardinals as the Pope. I fear he will destroy my church and I suspect that is his mission.
Such hypocrites. Tell everyone else no borders, welcome Islam, now here they but up barriers. Can we now do the same?!
Building more walls and bollards to keep out the barbarians. But tells us WE don’t need our walls to keep out the southern hordes of barbarians. Damn hypocrites.
The Vatican’s statements here do not mention Muslims, so the potential terrorists they are protecting against are probably irate Italians. Who else could they be?
Oh that’s funny! Guy looks like he could sit at a CEO’s table without that getup.
We need the wall no matter how few are coming through now.....because if the Deorats win any election it’ll never be done in the future...this is the only shot we have to do this.
Actually believe the wall around the Vatican is 40 feet.
I lived in Roma for 3 years. I don’t believe Italians will submit, but I’ll bet Francis will..
What happened to the Pope’s statement: “Migrants’ rights should override national security concerns.” How can he possibly deny them their right to rape, murder and pillage by putting up security blockades around the Vatican?
Time for the Pope’s hired muscle to man up and justify their paychecks.
And dope.
