Like Fr. Z. implies, only those who have been exposed to vague Vatican ecclesiastical bafflegab for years, can truly appreciate it when somethin like this gets published.

Not that i t's all that electrifying, but it's not all papal diplomacy scented with rosewater and packed in bubble-wrap, either.

Pray. Fast. Sacrifice.

Seriously.

The Popes, over the years, may have avoided calling out Muslims' treatment of Christians, for fear of provoking worse treatment. Given what's happening now in Iraq, Nigeria, and elsewhere, that's no longer a workable tactic.

When appeasement just produces more bad treatment, then it's time to stop appeasing.

It is now time to get blunt about Islam and Islamofacism.

God Bless the Christians and other faith minorities who are suffering in the Middle East.

...Violence is never defeated by violence. Violence is defeated by peace...

That must have been a Peace Column I saw making its way through Bavaria in the spring of 1945, and the soldiers in the tanks and trucks were peaceful angels come to clean up Germany after the almost total destruction of cities by the waves of bombers which unleashed unimaginable fire-storms over the heads of the population - children, old folks, women and sick people...and when it was all over, after the de-nazification of Germany, miraculously, peace broke out.

No cause, and certainly no religion, can justify such barbarity.

Good gravy another naive Infidel,who is clueless about Islam.
Why don't he just read the Koran and Hadiths for the justification of these atrocities on Infidels.-Tom

All this aside, I heard that Barry shot only two above par today if you didn’t count his seven foot-wedges and 14 mulligans. Not a bad round.

Just watch the news tonight and hear the talking heads spouting their PC, watered down description of what islam is all about.

Will they dare to interview Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR and give him the opportunity to explain the peaceful nature of islam?

I would love to see and hear ex-prez GW say something on this matter.

I think I have seen claims online that the photo of the German soldier shooting the two Russian women is a doctored photo.

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

~Pastor Martin Niemöller

Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.

When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.

Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.

Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

These words did not come from Pope Francis. When I see and hear the Pope stand up before TV cameras and speak these words, then I will begin to have some respect for him.

The Holy See has forgotten the Crusades. Now he feels he must simper, curtsey, and kiss the Koran.

Its enough to make anyone puke.

Time to roll out Saint George and a few knights to engage the ISIS evil mob.Yet its not even mentioned in passing.

Vatican whimps!
