Pope Francis is set to meet with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, one of the most senior clerics in Shiite Islam, in Iraq’s holy city of Najaf on Saturday to deliver a message of peaceful coexistence, urging Muslims to embrace Iraq’s long-beleaguered Christian minority.

The historic meeting in al-Sistani’s humble home was months in the making, with every detail painstakingly discussed and negotiated between the ayatollah’s office and the Vatican.

The closed-door meeting will touch on issues plaguing Iraq’s Christian minority. Al-Sistani is a deeply revered figure in Shiite-majority Iraq and and his opinions on religious matters are sought by Shiites worldwide.

The Vatican under the command of Pope Francis is busy rebuking ownership of firearms to the cheers of Islamic followers for personal protection as well as decrying evangelical conversion plus suppressing followers of the pre Vatican 2 liturgy form including the latin mass But when it comes to other forms of mono theistic beliefs such as the One World Abu Dhabi Movement. Francis refuses to say one word disclaiming and decrying what practice adherents of the Islam code Sharia not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to any evil means using force or decption used to convert is justified as well as kill those who refuse to submit to their version of Gods will .

Israel and the Southern Arab Alliance are rapidly growing in power and influence across Europe and Asia.

Could be off a bit, but I believe it is possible and plausible, this communist, pro lgbtq, demonic pope, may (may), be in the process of more formally (or at least secretly) politically uniting Shia Crescent Islamic nations, or regions, (which tend to be more aligned with Putin and Merkel), to more formally counter (not Buyden/Harris), but to screw up (in every way possible) and counter the Southern Arab/Israeli alliances, which Trump championed.

The Southern Alliance could represent a threat to his demonic influence in many ways.

If the demonic poppy is successful with his money and leftist political tricks (including Beijing), he could weaken Israel, and in multiple ways, more easily manipulate Europe and NATO, as well the world politics he seeks to control.

As well, I believe he is seeking evil goals, and trying to gain political gravity and momentum, so other nations simply don’t have a choice but to go along with his global communist goals.

This kgb creation (documented) needs to learn that God is God, and he and his fallen master will never be God.
