Pope Francis was not content with merely spreading the politics of Marxist wealth redistribution in his “climate change” fairyhoax encyclical, arguably the whole reason for its creation in the first place. He also chose to reinforce its supposed legitimacy by featuring a passage from an Islamic poet, Ali al-Khawas.
As reported in Breitbart News, the “climate” encyclical included a depiction of the Muslim poet as cautioning people not to “put too much distance between the creatures of the world and the interior experience of God.” The symbolism of incorporating this Islamic text into the encyclical is much more significant than the actual words.
What he did is as close to including Islamic teachings in a Catholic document as he could without actually quoting the Koran, an act which should have Catholics around the world scratching their heads, asking themselves “who is this guy and what is he up to?” Certainly that is what many non-Catholics are doing. There was no need for him to do what he did, either with the encyclical itself or with the Islamic inclusion and none of it is happening accidentally.
Francis quoted al-Khawas directly, writing, “The initiate will capture what is being said when the wind blows, the trees sway, water flows, flies buzz, doors creak, birds sing, or in the sound of strings or flutes, the sighs of the sick, the groans of the afflicted.”
Pope Francis has a pen and a phone of his own, it appears, which are now becoming just as infamous as those of his partner in crime, Hussein Obama. ....They share the same low opinion or hatred of America and the same goal of our downfall and ultimate elimination. Their tactics are virtually identical.

Just think... if we lowered out environmental and human standards, we can become a capitalist heaven like China... and we can get all those jobs back into America with our own slave-labour initiatives.
Would Muslims potentially be angry about this? Could they kill Christians in some region in revenge?
who am I to judge?
Limbaugh did, some time ago.
Moslems don't need this or any other document to be "angry."
They wake up angry as a matter of course.
And they kill Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and everybody else just because. It's what they do.
They haven’t killed me.
Pope Benedict XVI very likely stepped down because he refused to go along with this evil.
Peter Who?...well the question is:..
who was his wife...and would u hit her?
it’s a 2 question answer....*W*
But for whose benefit???.....lol...the 10% that preach it..or the 90% they talk into it?
He is just living up to the tenants of Vatican II which says that all forms of religion are equally valid
And the problem with Peter the Roman is.. he has the destruction of this country’s economy as a primary objective.
Where does Vatican II say that? I'd like to know.
I’m confused! Is this article about the Pope or Obama?
I can’t see the difference.
Initially i thought this guy was going to be great.
Not the first time i was completely WRONG.
AMEN!
Where is the article by Jonah Goldberg?
The proverbial "they", in this case, happens to be the Vatican Academy of Sciences aka Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which is very much like the US Academy of Sciences.
Which tracks with the views of many that this is all a hoax/conspiracy amongst all the scientists and educated people of the world, who are trying to impose their intellectual views on the wisdom and virtue of the common man.
Well this is the second time in my life that I’m glad I’m not Catholic. I left the Episcopal church for the obvious reasons and was thinking of the Catholic church as a possible home. But then Pope Frwncis happened, the gays are being embraced, climate change now becoming part of the religion? Liberals poison everything good. The nice thing about being “homeless” church-wise...I focus better in what I believe. I find I don’t need somebody telling me right from wrong once a week. With all of the “dogma” out of my life...nobody can touch or sway my beliefs. Makes me really start to wonder about organized religion.
Same characters? How's that?? All of the characters who sold indulgences have been dead for 500 years.
