During his lecture at the hermitage, Longhi recounted a conversation he had with the John Paul II in March 1993, in which the pope warned him about a disturbing vision he had about the future of Europe.
"The Pope told me: 'Tell this to those whom you will meet in the Church of the third millennium. I see the Church afflicted by a mortal wound. More profound, more painful than those of this millennium,' referring to Communism and Nazi totalitarianism. 'It is called Islamism. They will invade Europe. I have seen the hordes come from the West to the East,' and then told to me each country one by one: from Morocco to Libya to Egypt, and so on till the East," Longhi recalled, as reported by The Catholic Herald.
"The Holy Father added: 'They will invade Europe, Europe will be like a basement, old relics, shadows, cobwebs. Family heirlooms. You, the Church of the third millennium, must contain the invasion. Not with armies, armies will not be enough, but with your faith, lived with integrity," the priest added.

In many ways, the protestant reformation was the beginning of the glorification of the ego of common man, a very important step in the spiritual growth of the soul.
There are no good points in the Koran. What may appear to be good points near the beginning have been superseded by evil in the latter parts. [This is official Muslim exegesis, btw. The later in the Koran a teaching appears, the more authority it has. Any and all early non-aggressive passages have been set aside by murderous, militant subsequent passages.]
No one, Muslim or Christian, is good apart from the atoning blood of Christ. The nicest Muslim in the world is hellbound unless he/she receives Jesus as Lord and Savior—the same as everyone else.
The problem for Muslims is the Koran. It teaches lying, hate, rape and murder. You cannot deny it. The passages are right there in the book. The savagery of ISIS didn’t come out of nowhere; it came out of the Koran. If you genuinely love Muslims, you have no choice but to warn them against this demonic book. Their souls are at stake.
Btw, nice, friendly Muslims are either practicing taqiyya—deception of infidels—or they are bad/disobedient Muslims. No third option.
> Is this the same John Paul II who kissed the “holy qur’an” and started the “all religions are equal” festival at Fatima (or wherever it was)?
I did not know that about him. When he visited Croatia, I saw him. Forget about yoshke. You should have seen how we idolized john paul. Thinking about it makes me sick.
