One of the loudest cheerleaders for Islamic migration to Europe is Pope Francis. His predecessors called for the revival of a historically Christian Europe, but he makes no such call. Future historians will no doubt find it perplexing that the emergence of “Eurabia” happened not in spite of the Roman pontiff but in part because of him. “Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century,” predicted the historian Bernard Lewis.
Those who fear that prospect and push the project of a revived Christian Europe the most receive the least support from the pope — such as Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary — while the pope gives cover to the secularists de-Christianizing Europe.
In 2016, Pope Francis received the inaptly named “Charlemagne Prize” from a group of liberal Europeans. He devoted his acceptance speech to praise of a “new European humanism,” the very ideology that is driving the Christianity of Charlemagne out of Europe. “I dream of a Europe where being a migrant is not a crime but a summons to greater commitment on behalf of the dignity of every human being,” the pope said. Around this same time, he gave an interview to the press criticizing European countries that give a privileged place to Christianity. “States must be secular,” he said. “Confessional states end badly. That goes against the grain of history.” He added that “when I hear talk of the Christian roots of Europe, I sometimes dread the tone, which can seem triumphalist or even vengeful.”

There was once a time when Pope’s organized armies against Islamic agression. Does this Pope wear knee pads now?
I heard a caller on Open Line on the Catholic radio network EWTN. He said he is fed up with the wishy washy bishops and if their report does not condemn Biden and Pelosi type hypocrites then “I will refuse to give a dime to the Church any more. I pay toward the local building program and other things but I will never pay again.”
Just as my predictions about people slowly, month by month turning their backs on Church attendance, I believe he represents a large portion of the people.
Michael Savage said for years now Catholics and Reform Jews mince words and avoid saying unpopular things against the Dems because they don’t want to cut down the congregants’ money flow. Just be likable and go along with things. Oh, yeah?
