Pope to Canonize ‘Islamophobe’

Liberals portray saint as 'prophet of interfaith dialogue'

VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - Pope Francis is to canonize a French priest who warned of the resurgence of Islamic imperialism and the impossibility of integrating Muslims into French society unless the Church converted Muslims to Christianity.

"In general, with some exceptions, as long as they are Muslim, they will not be French, they will wait more or less patiently for the day of the Mahdi [Islamic messiah], in which they will subdue France," Blessed Charles de Foucauld warned in his 1916 letter to René Bazin, his future biographer.

"If, little by little, slowly, the Muslims of our colonial empire in northern Africa do not convert, there will be a nationalist movement similar to that of Turkey," de Foucauld predicted, explaining that the Muslim "intellectual elite" will have "lost all Islamic faith" but will use Islam to "influence the masses," and ordinary Muslims will remain "firmly Mohammedan, brought to hatred and contempt for the French by their religion."

"In sentiments that would now be outlawed as Islamophobic, de Foucauld prophesied an Islamic political threat to Christian civilization, warning of the dangers of Muslims left untouched by the love of Christ," a French-speaking member of the Little Brothers of Jesus, a religious society inspired by de Foucauld, told Church Militant.

"The task of whether or not to treat de Foucauld as an Islamophile or an Islamophobe will define whether or not European culture succumbs to Islam or converts it," the Normandy-based Catholic theologian observed.

Canonizations often take decades or even centuries. Once there is momentum, it is hard to stop the gears. This was in motion for some time.

That’s the problem with this pope. Always pointing cannons at the wrong people. Should be pointing cannons at Islamists!

Ok.

Gay cultist Antipope Jorge Corn(UN)holio is unworthy of being referred to by a Papal name. You may call him "Fransissy", or "Frankie Poo-nose".

He should heed the Priest's words if he really wanted to honor him. As Dr. Siv says it's hardly like this was his idea, he's merely not stopping it.

You can love the church and hate the gay cabal that seems to be in charge of it. Like a German patriot could still love his country in 1944. My mom knows nuns that pray daily for him to be "called home".

Not anymore, thanks to JP II. He himself was canonized just nine years after his death.

Every deceased pope since VC II has been canonized, with the exception of John Paul I, who only held office for 33 days.

The last pope, prior to the council , to have been canonized is Pope St. Pius X, who died in 1914.

That's why I used the qualifier "often".

In regard to Charles de Foucauld, Wikipedia says the following:

His beatification process started eleven years after his death, in 1927.

Yes, but not one post-conicilar pope was caononized a century or more after his death.

The whole process has now been a canonization of the bastard council itself.

I don't disagree. Especially when consider some of the Popes between Pope St. Pius V and Pope Saint Pius X.

Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII had a lot on their plates and handled it very well, and more importantly, displayed virtue and holiness in their lives.

Agee. I'll stand with you on this and get in that bunker with you. . Yes, for sure this Papcy is a difficult one, no question.... Evil is everywhere...but those who have closed their minds, who now see ONLY the bad..... reminds me of some CS Lewis thinking .....

Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.”

Like that inspirational guy said a few years ago.....in the end, if we can't get in that bunker, worse than shame- we might just be on the other side.....

Where are the two miracles required for a canonization?
