VATICAN CITY — Catholics and Protestants around the world expressed concern this week, as Pope Leo XVI gave his recommendation that Christians pray the rosary while facing in the direction of Mecca.
The pontiff made the proclamation after visiting Turkey and Lebanon, stating that not only should the West be less fearful of the spread of Islam, but all Christians should seek to live more peaceably by facing toward the holiest of Islamic sites when they pray the rosary.
"This is an important step toward helping the Muslims conquer us all," Pope Leo said. "I do not think that Christians should live in fear of all the things they see Muslims doing in every single Western country they invade. Rather, they should accept the inevitability that we shall all be overtaken eventually and start getting used to it by praying the rosary while facing Mecca."
In addition to the recommendation regarding prayer, the Pope also said that Christians — both Protestants and Catholics alike — should see the virtues and benefits of living under Sharia Law. "It's really not that bad," he explained. "You get a lot less criminal behavior in society, much stronger family units, and I can personally assure women that having to wear robes all the time is actually quite comfortable. We in the West can learn a lot from Islam, and we should. And we will. Or we will all die. Dominus benedicat pulchros conquistatores nostros musulmanos."
At publishing time, Pope Leo had commissioned Vatican officials to begin distributing Catholic prayer rugs.
Let’s hope he doesn’t read Babylon Bee or he will...
I have no trouble recognizing a Bee satire piece. What I do have trouble with is mistaking reality as reported for a Bee-level sting.
“Dominus benedicat pulchros conquistatores nostros musulmanos” google translates to “May the Lord bless our beautiful Muslim conquerors”.
This is what ecumenism is all about.

God Help Us.
That was my first thought as well.
Get out of the church of Babylon now.
Babylon Bee may have touched on something significant.
Islam venerates Mary as one of the most revered women in their religion, and Jesus as a Muslim prophet. Many in the Roman Catholic Church are trying to make her the co-redeemer with Christ.
Maybe the one religion pushed by the Anti-Christ and the false prophet will be a combination of these adherents and Islam in the future, demoting Christ to being just a great prophet. Why else would a previous Pope kiss the Koran.
