He [Francis] often sounds more like a spokesman for CAIR than a Catholic pope. After jihadists cut off the head of a French priest in July 2016 — yelling “Allahu Akbar” over the priest’s slit throat — Pope Francis rushed to the defense of Islam. “I don’t like to talk about Islamic violence, because every day, when I read the newspaper, I see violence,” he said, before ludicrously blaming the rise of terrorism on the “idolatry” of free-market economics: “As long as the god of money is at the center of the global economy and not the human person, man and woman, this is the first terrorism.”

What has changed? Nothing. Islam remains as violent as it started. But one thing is new: The Catholic Church, under the death-wish progressivism of Francis, has become one of Islam’s loudest boosters.

So true. It seems that the present Pope, Cardinals, Bishops and priests have forgotten history. In fact, they don’t even want to know the history of Islam in conflict with Christianity.

Past popes combated the errors of Muhammad. Francis praises them.
= = =

Bad grammer.

should say Francis praises him (him being Muhammad)

Francis does not praise ‘them’, the errors.

I am having a fit, because initially I interpreted Francis praises them, as them being past Popes, which did not agree with the content.

Well, maybe Francis did agree with the errors, but he did not consider them errors.

AFAICT Pope Marx has it totally back@sswRds.

On one occasion, Francis outrageously said...."if I speak of Islamic violence, I must also speak of Catholic violence".

He is an enemy of the Catholic faith who loathes Catholic tradition and those who embrace it.

The dude is evil. Nothing else to say. Evil, evil man.

Past popes combated the errors of Muhammad. Francis praises them. As the prototypical progressive Jesuit, Pope Francis prides himself on his “ecumenism.”

This Lutheran who lived in Japan hoped, when the present Pope's name was announced, that he was thinking of a combination of Francis of Assisi and Francis Xavier, of a church that would combine the mercy of Assisi with the worldwide proclamation of the gospel of Xavier. That hope has gone from desperation to despair.

I don't know how to say this nicely, so I will just say it and hope it is not taken nastily. Yesterday, a person who spent 15 years trying to destroy me, and very nearly succeeding, died. I have waited for this moment for all those years, knowing that I am now free from this person's antagonism, because God has to act in His time, not in mine. I am beginning to feel the same about Pope Francis, that we will have to wait him out and get Christ's church back from the dead, as it were, because God acts in His time, not in ours.

Which past (Vatican II) popes unapologetically combated Muslim errors?

I think the author must have meant past popes prior to Vatican II and did not mean to come across as merely focusing on Francis as the only Islam-loving Modernist-Ecumenist.

If he meant just Francis, then someone needs to set him straight. Muslims and their false religion have been held in high esteem since Vatican II.
