Pope Leo must stand up to Muslim immigrants seeking to remake Europe

As Muslim migration roils Europe, some Catholic bishops are starting to notice.

“For decades, the Islamization of Europe has been progressing through mass immigration,” Polish Bishop Antoni Długosz said July 13, adding that illegal immigrants “create serious problems in the countries they arrive in.”

Bishop Athanasius Schneider of Kazakhstan spoke more bluntly in March: “We’re witnessing an invasion. They are not refugees. This is an invasion, a mass Islamization of Europe.”

Yet Pope Leo XIV lives in a different dimension.

“In a world darkened by war and injustice . . . migrants and refugees stand as messengers of hope,” Leo said July 25. “Their courage and tenacity bear heroic testimony to a faith that sees beyond what our eyes can see and gives them the strength to defy death on the various contemporary migration routes.”

Leo’s comments express more than blissful sentimentality. They reveal the Vatican’s role in encouraging open borders and exempting migrants from accountability.

n Europe’s case, that involves deliberate blindness to the violent, totalitarian nature of Islam and many of its followers.

This Catholic approach toward Islam reflects the ideas of Louis Massignon, a French scholar from the early 20th century. Massignon described Islam as “the faith of Abraham revived with Muhammad,” and asserted that Muslims “have the right to equality among the monotheisms descended from Abraham.”

Seven months earlier, a Vatican cardinal even suggested that Muslim students receive Islamic religious instruction in the hour reserved for Catholic instruction in Italian schools.

“If there are 100 Muslim children in a school, I don’t see why they shouldn’t be taught their religion,” said the late Cardinal Renato Martino, then the president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. “If we said ‘no’ until we saw equivalent treatment for the Christian minorities in Muslim countries, I would say that we were placing ourselves on their level.”

In 2008, the Catholic bishops of England and Wales asked Catholic schools to reserve prayer rooms for Muslim students and to adapt bathroom facilities for ritual cleansing before prayer. But the worst example of appeasement took place in Belgium.

What goes around comes around. Is the repeating the Crusades in the offing? Is the only solution to drive the heathens back into the caves?

“For decades, the Islamization of Europe has been progressing through mass immigration,”

Per plan, but the biggie is that they understand, "Be fruitful and multiply."

If you are counting on Leo you will be disappointed. He is Frankee’s hand picked successor for a reason.

[Savage Beast]

Well the fundamental problem is not the Muslims. It’s the Europeans who are perfectly happy for the Muslim immigrants to remake Europe.

[faithhopecharity]

It appears to be too late for France, UK, Germany, Belgium, maybe Spain…
They’re past the point of no return.
Write them off as civilized, free societies.

How ‘bout he stands up to the Muzzies trying to takeover and destroy the United States.

[Jim W N]

This is just the beginning.

Muslims have a goal and are fully dedicated to it: WORLDWIDE ISLAMIC SUPREMACY AKA WORLDWIDE JIHAD.

The world is not ready to withstand their determined takeover.

And now it’s time for a little Q and A.

Question: Do the Cherokees have the right to preserve their culture and heritage?
Liberal: Yes, of course.

Question: Do the Polynesians have the right to preserve their culture and heritage?
Liberal: Yes, of course.

Question: Do the English have the right to preserve their culture and heritage?
Liberal: You’re a filthy racist for even asking that!

The Islamists have tried to conquer Europe militarily in centuries past but failed. They are trying a different approach in the 21st century, with their odds of success looking better than ever.

Thanks to many naive Cardinals and Bishop, Crusades will be the only recourse. Numerous imams have stated the goal of muslims is to see the Flag of islam fly over the Vatican and Notre Dame. Church leaders are contributing to that goal.

Modern Crusader to Muslim: Don’t make me have to come over there!

[Veto!]

Thank God I went to France, UK, Germany, and Belgium when they were real countries with their own customs and food. Belgian beer was great (hate other beers) and muzzies will probably outlaw alcohol.

My good friend has a daughter, who lives in Munich, here on vacation to visit her dad. Will meet them next week. If it feels right, I’ll ask her about Muzzies. Her dad, my friend, is a Deacon at the beautiful Episcopal cathedral here, so she’s had some religious training.

Standing up to people who want to annihilate Western culture in Europe and elsewhere also works for Americans too.

It means we don’t have to get all the nukes out of those soon to become Muslim countries.

Thanks for posting. The appeasement of an evil, uncivilized, supremicist collective will not bode well for the civilized, sheepish, submissive collectives.

Agreed.
Munich, an amazing and prosperous city with some of the very best of German achievements (and some of the very worst of German history). I think that if I were to visit Germany today I’d select Munich

Historically the Catholic Church was vibrant, faith filled, assertive and was served by holy people willing to preach the Word to all nations. Many became martyrs. Today the Church has been corrupted by agnostic homosexuals posing as Cardinals, Bishops and priests. Unless they are purged, the Church cannot be purified, again become vibrant and assert itself.
