For the first time in Vatican history, the pope allowed for the reading of Islamic prayers and Koran readings from the Catholic facility.

The readings and prayer came as Pope Francis met with Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Vatican City, a gathering designed to pray for Middle Eastern peace.

A Holy See spokesman said the prayers were supposed to be a “pause in politics,” Breitbart reported. The pope said, too, that he hoped the interfaith prayers would foster peace specifically between Israelis and Palestinians, the news outlet said.

In the 1930s little French boys were taught to be inclusive, to turn the other cheek and to shy away.

At this time little German boys were taught to win a fight, never to back off, and to conquer.

When these two cultures met, France disappeared in the span of a couple of weeks.

They see it as the most holy city of Christianity submitting to Islam.

Indubitably.

It is time to read history on past anti-popes and heresies.

Meanwhile join a solid Sedavecantist (true Roman Catholic) parish until the antipope is replaced with an actual pope.

If one is not nearby you then continue to increase praying the rosary with mother Mary and seeking God.

I bailed a long time ago.

The Pope has been wanting to bail, too. Let him so we can get a real Catholic next time.

john 4:

21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”

26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

> Is it time yet for the true believers to bail out of the Catholic church?

I never attended Catholic churches regularly but when I visited I didn’t see worship of God or Jesus, only Mary. I did see dogma and religion but never felt the presence of God. I have heard rumors of Satan worship ocurring in their basements but I have no way of knowing if there was any validity to them. I dismissed them then but now it makes me wonder.

Has anybody informed Pope Francis just WHO the Allah of Islam is?

Letting a mass-murdering terrorist like Abbas into the Vatican is a great sacrilege

Is this Pope even Christian?

I'm betting bears are starting to use in door plumbing.

You know, it would be the perfect outreach if the Pope became a Muslim!
The more brutal Muslims are to Christians, the more Christians “outreach”!
