Pope Francis Hails Election of Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 5/17/16 | Staff Reporter

The election of a Muslim as London mayor 'illustrates the need for Europe to rediscover its capacity to integrate', the Pope told La Croix

Pope Francis has hailed the election of London’s first Muslim mayor in a wide-ranging interview with a French newspaper.

Discussing the migrant crisis with French daily La Croix, Pope Francis said “the worst form of welcome” for migrants is “to ‘ghettoise’ them”.

“On the contrary, it’s necessary to integrate them,” the Pope said.

“In Brussels, the terrorists were Belgians, children of migrants, but they grew up in a ghetto. In London, the new mayor (Sadiq Khan) took his oath of office in a cathedral and will undoubtedly meet the Queen. This illustrates the need for Europe to rediscover its capacity to integrate.”

Francis gave the one-hour interview to two of La Croix’s journalists at his residence in the Vatican on May 9. The Pope was speaking in Italian. The daily said the Vatican read the piece before it was published.

Asked whether he thought a fear of Islam fuelled “the fear of accepting migrants”, the Pope said he didn’t think that “there is a fear of Islam as such but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is partly drawn from Islam.”

“It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam. However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest,” the Pope said.

In reference to the Pope’s meeting with Bishop Bernard Fellay, the superior-general of the SSPX, in April, Francis was asked whether the re-integration of the SSPX into the Church was being considered.

The Pope told La Croix that the SSPX “love the Church” and “Bishop Fellay.......

The best way to get them to integrate is to take away welfare.

More true than ever:

Matthew 13:14
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

“the worst form of welcome” for migrants is “to ‘ghettoise’ them”. “On the contrary, it’s necessary to integrate them,”

Embracing diversity and integrating these guests is easy. Look at how the staff of the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino welcomed Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. They even threw a baby shower for those visitors, to let them know they were as welcome as anyone might have hoped and dreamed. The two terrorists were also welcomed at the secular "holiday" party and took celebratory photos with their intended victims. In return, Farook and Malik showed their appreciation by murdering 14 of those who gave them the baby shower and injuring 22 others.

Oh, but it's just ISIS or Afghanistan (or the even more extreme Taliban) or Iran or Saudi Arabia or Oman or Yemen or even Indonesia.

Sure, a lot of Muslims have gathered around the ISIS banner, but they were there before ISIS and will be there after ISIS is gone, just like they streamed into Al Queda and Hamas, etc.

Something is common to all of this.. OH! Right, Islam. The religion that kills so many people it is called ‘The Religion of Peace’ (tm). A religion where you can go to most any Islamic centric marketplace in the world and buy snuff videos of ‘faithful’ killing men, women and children, straight and homosexual.

Any other religion pulled just ONE of the many mass attacks, and it would be ostracized as a death cult. Instead, it is just another day with Islam - Oh, look, another 30 people killed in a marketplace for the crime of, umm, well, who cares, the murderer will go to nirvana.

In addition, Syed Rizwan Farook was given a good paying job of public trust with San Bernardino County. Real models of integration, weren’t they?

In the fifth grade Francis was home sick with the chicken pox for three weeks. It was those three weeks that the Crusades and the Muslim atrocities were covered.

Can’t this guy just follow Benedict’s lead and RETIRE !!! He’s really an embarrassment to those of us, Catholic and non-Catholic, who respect the Church.

Either he didn’t really say this, or the pope is mocking Jesus Christ.
