Ireland: Catholic priest invites Muslims to Mass, Muslim proclaims supremacy of Islam from pulpit
APR 5, 2020 4:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER
Father Stephen Farragher is no doubt a loyal follower of Pope Francis, who has made the risible claim that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” Although this is not and could not ever be a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, it is assumed to be some kind of superdogma by the Catholic hierarchy worldwide, superseding all reason, all common sense, all fact, and all prudence, and is ruthlessly enforced, such that all those who stand by the truth are forcibly silenced and marginalized.
Meanwhile, when will this gesture be reciprocated? When will the Muslims invite Father Stephen Farragher to proclaim his faith in Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world in a mosque? Never. “Interfaith dialogue” is not conducted in search of genuine religious rapprochement. It is designed simply to make Christians feel good about how Christlike and non-bigoted they are (in their own view), while the Muslims can go away satisfied that the Christians are again submitting to them.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
“Muslim Declares Muhammad’s Supremacy Over Jesus at Catholic Mass,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, April 3, 2020 (thanks to Tom):
COUNTY MAYO, Ireland (ChurchMilitant.com) Muslims, invited by a Catholic priest in Ireland to pray alongside him during the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, prayed the Adhan — the Islamic call to prayer that categorically proclaims Islam’s supremacy over its forebears — Judaism and Christianity.
Father Stephen Farragher, parish priest of St. Patrick’s Church in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo, invited two Muslims to “pray in solidarity” with him “the final blessing and prayer” at the 10 a.m. Friday Mass to be broadcast on radio, Midwest Radio Ireland reported.
Mohammed Cherbatji and Mohammed Rahmani joined Fr. Farragher to seek a blessing on all frontline health care workers and frontline workers during the pandemic and pray for the eradication of the Wuhan virus. The church was reportedly empty because of the Wuhan virus restrictions.
However, a video of the Islamic prayer released on Twitter showed one of the Muslims in the pulpit cantillating the Adhan in Arabic.
Church Militant contacted a scholar in Islamic jurisprudence and Arabic expert who confirmed that the prayer was not a blessing for health care workers but the “Islamic call to prayer, which conclusively and unambiguously asserts that God’s revelation to Muhammad has supplanted and superseded God’s prior revelations to Moses in the Old Testament and to Jesus in the New Testament.”
The Adhan asserts: “Allah is the greatest. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to prayer. Come to salvation.” These affirmations are repeated twice.
Theologian Dr. Gavin Ashenden, who resigned his position as Chaplain to the Queen in protest against a reading from the Koran at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Glasgow, Scotland, confirmed to Church Militant that “the Muslim call to prayer is a dramatic piece of Islamic triumphalism.”
“It proclaims Islam’s superiority over all other religions, and in so doing casts Jesus in the role of a charlatan and a liar. The Muslim god, Allah, is unknowable and has no son. Jesus was, therefore, a fraud in claiming He and the Father are one,” Ashenden, who recently converted to Catholicism, said.
“In a religious narrative where one religion denigrates another, compromise is not logically or theologically available,” he stressed….
In Arabic, “adhan” means “information” or “enlightenment” — signifying that people previously in darkness and ignorance are now “informed” and “enlightened” about the “true religion” of Islam, to which they must submit. Islam means submission (from the Arabic root “al-Silm” — submission or surrender).
Commentators have explained how reciting the Adhan in churches is a “power play” intended to conquer and sacralize Christian territory. Islamic scholars are engaged in an in-house discussion on whether it is haram (forbidden) or makrooh (offensive) for Muslims to enter churches.
“If your going to the church is just to show tolerance and lenience, then it is not permissible, but if it is done to call them to Islam and create opportunities for you to do so, and you will not be taking part in their worship and you are not afraid that you may be influenced by their beliefs or customs, then it is permissible,” declares the Fatwa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah.
I would be walking out of that mess.
Wondering where the Inquisition is?
What did that priest expect?
“Wonder what the flock thinks?”
*****************************
Much of the Irish populace is “gone” based upon their recent votes. Sad to see.
What an ************* ****.
Europe’s case is terminal.
..... “You knew I was a snake when you took me in.”
You know that the Religion of Pieces’ attitude is...”this is so easy we just can’t stand it”.
In County Mayo, a Catholic priest allows himself to be sandwiched in-between two Moslem clerics and says, “Lettuce pray for tolerant”.
Indigestion and conquest coming up! You want Fries with that?
Ireland,once a proud and decent nation (and the land of my ancestors) is lost,lost,lost.It’s now nothing more than...and nothing less than...a tawdry little European cesspool.
Tolerance and acceptance with muslims only goes one way. I have never heard or read of any mosque allowing Christian services in its basement.
Disgusting. This priest will burn if he does not repent.
I have only walked out of a Mass once.
A month later the priest was in custody. I had a gut feeling I couldn’t shake.
Some years ago a muslim guy in our office passed away unexpectedly. He was a decent low key guy and a number of his work colleagues went to the mosque. One of them was a “wise Latina” chick who was told by the greeters at the mosque that she had to cover her head, remove her shoes, and sit in the back with the other women. She went into a ballistic rant in Spanglish that I will never forget, LOL.
“Take me in silly cleric
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, silly cleric,” sighed the snake
...
“I saved you,” cried the cleric
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly cleric,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in!
I’m glad my people left a long time ago.
Ditto....1000%!
