Maybe Pope Francis knows that the American embassies have been told to close come tomorrow and for the rest of August to be put on a high alert notice.
Also he could be WARNING the Muslims to “clean up their house”, otherwise in the future they could be subjected to an angry violent backlash against them coming from the non-Muslims.
I like many things about this pope: his simplicity, refusal to be attended by servants, self-reliance, emphasis on Gospel messages favoring service to the poor, re-emphasis of the truths of Catholic doctrine, ratification of the investigative report as to the rebellious American orders of aged nuns, etc. We Catholics owe him obedience in all things moral.
Pope Francis is nonetheless a man and a sinner and capable of prudential mistakes. Some self-discipline in dealing with the press/media should be his New Year's resolution and he should actually consider practicing it immediately. None of us, not even the pope, are perfect or lack opportunities for self-improvement.
Additionally, for those (not you) who imagine him to be an "idiot," I would like to see how they would do in competition with a Jesuit such as Francis (an old school Jesuit not the modern heretical or anarchist sort) who had to have not one, not two but THREE doctorates (theology, philosophy and another substantive subject to teach) and a thorough understanding of St. Thomas Aquinas and scholasticism before being ordained as a Jebbie priest. He probably has higher academic credentials than any modern pope and possibly more than any other pope. Credentials do not guarantee prudential wisdom but they ought not be scoffed at either.
Finally, I agree with you that Pope Francis is preaching as St. Francis of Assisi did to Muslims and the world at large, as commanded by Jesus Christ. As a Jesuit prep school alumnus of the era when Pope Francis was preparing for his ordination, I do always suspect that he is far more sophisticated in his understandings and strategies than we are tempted to believe.
My favorite popes have been John Paul I, Blessed John Paul II and Pius XII. They were very different men who agreed on doctrine but had different styles of leadership and public personalities. When a conclave is held to elect a pope, we pray for the sort of man that we individually hope to be elected. God, however, in His Wisdom, sends us the man we need. It took me a very long time to accept Paul VI and John XXIII, imagining that somehow it was my business to sit in judgment on popes. I almost left the Church over them (for Eastern Orthodoxy which retains solemn liturgy and generally sound doctrine without the cultural revolution and horrors of the Kumbaya era of 1963 to 1978) but I stayed and was sooooo glad that I was Catholic when JP I and JP II were popes and thereafter. As to the Kumbaya era, what does not kill me, makes me strong!
God bless you and yours and the Archdiocese of Hartford in which I lived most of my life and the Diocese of Rockford which is now my home!
