Jesuit scholar rips pope for concessions to Islam

A Jesuit scholar with expertise in Islam is explaining why Muslims are terroristic and is warning members of his faith not to be taken in by the “liberal-left ideology” that advocates “tolerance” and “concessions.”

The verdict and warning comes from Egyptian Greek Melkite Jesuit Father Henri Boulad, who was interviewed by the National Catholic Register.

First, the reason for the terrorism is simple, said Boulad, 85, whose relative, Father Samir Khalil Samir, also is a Jesuit scholar of Islam.

The Quran orders Muslims to inflict “terror.”

The church should not defend Islam “at all costs” and seek to “exonerate it from the horrors committed every day in its name” or else “one ends up betraying the truth,” he emphasized.

He said church-goers have succumbed to a “liberal-left ideology which is destroying the West” based on the pretext of “openness, tolerance and Christian charity.”

He told the Register he shared his thoughts with Pope Francis in a letter a few months ago.

“Christians,” he wrote to the pope, “are expecting something from you other than vague and harmless declarations that may obscure reality.”

I wonder what the common denominator in all this violence is?

Is there a remnant within the Jesuit order?

I’d like to replace that stupid black cube with a smoking crater ...

I did a quick search on Egyptian Greek Melkite Church and not sure I see a connection with Rome. As far as I know, Jesuits are only Roman Catholic. Well, used to be before becoming apostate. (I’m 8 years Jesuit educated)

Done!

The pope promotes *slam. He facilitated the Iran nuclear deal, an action which invalidated his papacy.

Concessions? More like conversion.

The wiki page says they are in full communion with Rome.

I was thinking the same thing. Then I looked around, and stumbled across this post concerning whether Jesuits are liberal or conservative. I thought it was interesting.

Melkite Greek Church at wikipedia (FWIW). They're in communion with Rome. I used to work with a fellow who attended a Melkite Greek church in northern Virginia.

Thanks for the info! No wonder he’s not like American/European Jesuits.

Thanks. Was looking for this one.

Of course they do! The Chinese did not pay good bribe money to the Clintons for some kind of dud!
