Pope Francis will meet Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the Vatican next week, the Holy See announced on Friday, as Palestinians continue to clash with Israeli forces over US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. […]

The pope and King Abdullah, the custodian of the Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem’s Old City, are likely to discuss the situation, though the Vatican never indicates topics of discussion for such meetings in advance.

On Sunday, the pope called for “respect of the status quo” in Jerusalem and warned against “a new spiral of violence”.

Abdullah has denounced the Jerusalem announcement as “a violation of international rights”. …

Don’t forget to lay a wreath at Karl Marx’s grave, your holiness.

The status quo will
Only change when the fing pagan structures are removed from the Jewish Temple site And since Israel not only respects but Actually defends the Muslim buildings, they’ll be there for a long time now. The pope can relax ( and I sure hope he doesn’t embarrass himself any further with more pro islamicist “ statements”! That can have no impact anyway )

Seems to me to be...

anti Catholic

anti Israel

pro United Nations

pro European Union

pro population transformation in Western nations

pro Marxist

pro Socialist

pro Arab

pro Arab terrorist

pro...

It actually makes me nervous when he heads to a fairly moderate Arab nation. What’s up his sleeve? What’s he going to try to talk them into?

Trump’s policies have been making headway in the Middle East, now this guy wants to go to a friendly Islamic nation in the region?

Say what?

Duller Abdullah, pro PLO phony. Jordan is the Palestinian state in the 2 state peace.

If I were Israel’s PM after 20 years of trying it UN way I would kick these Mongrels who were allowed back into Israel with their false made up claims as Palestinians. They got back after 1964, but have been attacking Israel since 1948.

Israel has never known a day of peace in 70 years. Time
to bring down the hammer on the PLO, Hezzbollah and Hamas
once and for all.

I agree with your take on it, but in Jordan's defense, the Arabs trying to convince everyone they were Palestinians, were trying to take down the Jordanian government.

If I were the Jordanian government, I would have said the same thing, "Screw that noise! You're outa here."

I don’t recall this pope meeting with Orthodox Christian leaders, like he should be doing, to achieve some kind of unity with Christians, who are being murdered by muzzies.
Instead, he meets with muzzies. What influence did bammy have on this man?

Get the frigging mosque off the rock of Abraham and let archeologists discover the foundations of Solomon’s temple

Neither Bergoglio nor Abdullah have anything to say about it...unless they agree it’s the capital of Israel.

yes i bet that is exactly what this pope will do

or at least something almost as bad

so very very very very very very sorry to have to say this but this pope (and he’s not the first) appears to totally NOT GET IT, that the Moslems intend to kill him and wipe out the church

or i should have said, many of the Muslims plan to do those things, too damned many!!!! the problem is their koran has over 100 teachings against Christians and Jews and other non-Muslims and also its full of war-making teachings

Will the Argentine pervert share his fantasies about how the invasion by “young virile” Muslims will “fertilize” an “aging Lady Europe”?
