Compare St. Francis, Bergoglio's namesake, to Pope Francis' Angelus address yesterday:

“Despite the diversity of cultures and traditions, the Christian and Islamic worlds appreciate and protect common values: life, family, religious sense, honor for the elderly, the education of the young, and others as well,” the pope told the crowds gathered in Saint Peter’s Square for his weekly general audience.

Pope Francis: Christianity and Islam Protect ‘Common Values’

The new Francis and his Islam love-fest is projectile vomit inducing.

He made a final offer: if the brothers would stay and accept Islam, he would see that they were well provided for. Francis and his companion flatly refused, saying again that they had not come to convert but to preach Christ. So, in a typical act of Middle Eastern hospitality, al-Kamil had a table set out with precious cloth and gold and silver ornaments and offered the two men their pick of them as gifts. Much to the sultan’s surprise, Francis explained that their religion forbade them to accept any precious gifts, money, or property.

A more typical act would have been chopping their heads off with their scimitars.

A sumptuous meal? Francis and Illuminato were just following Christ’s words in Luke 10.8: “Eat what they set before you.”
