Confronting Islam: Pope Francis Vs. Saint Francis

When Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio became the new Catholic pope in 2013, he chose the name of Francis to indicate that his pontificate would be one of mercy and compassion for the poor and needy—for such is the reputation of his eponym, Saint Francis of Assisi: “the man of poverty, the man of peace, the man who loves and protects creation,” said Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, as to why he chose that name. St. Francis (1182-1226) is indeed known for all those qualities. But he was known for something else that his modern day namesake fails to live up to: unapologetically confronting Islam.

Blessings from God to all who deny Islam is of God.

I know some past popes have been in the mindset of not offending Islam to reach it, I have always been horrified to see a pope kissing a moham madness book..wth, now the pope does not tell the truth..Islam denies Christ as savior, the only path to God, it will die under God’s foot

Bergoglio makes a mockery of his namesake as well as the true Catholic Faith.

Even though I am not of your faith, I have to appreciate what guts St. Francis of Assisi had. And the old popes with one or two exceptions tried to damp down the blaming of the Jews for everything; e.g., the Pope’s admonition that we Jews were not responsible for the Black Death. (That Pope was also one of the few people to survive when he got the plague).

The fake Pope props up a fake religion started by a fake prophet to justify his worldly desires, namely underage girls.

That doesn't make sense. All too many allegedly Christian sinner-men through the ages have gratified a taste in underage girls --- without in the least bothering to seek "justification" in Islam.

And what would Muslims care what a kuffar does?

I don't think this matches either the Muslims' nor Pope Francis' motivation patterns.

Mohammed used his fake religion to cover for his bloodlust and pedophile lust.
Christian men sinned.
Muslims believe it divine.

Islam is evil and this Pope does not recognize evil.
