Pope Francis Defends Jihad, Says Christianity Has Roots in Idea of Conquest [Rev 13]
Breaking Israel News ^ | 5/18/2016 | Abra Forman

Islam and Christianity share the "same idea of conquest", and for that reason, Islam should not be viewed as a threat, said Pope Francis in a newspaper interview this week.

"It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam," he conceded to the French Catholic newspaper La Croix. "However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew's Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest."

Ostensibly, the Pope was drawing a parallel between the Islamic "conquest" known as jihad, a holy war or struggle waged against infidels, and Christian missionizing. The comparison was part of a larger conversation about the increasingly desperate refugee crisis currently facing Europe. Pope Francis has been an outspoken voice on the issue of Arab refugees who seek asylum, encouraging governments to take in migrants and "integrate" them into western societies despite widespread concerns that the largely Muslim populations might harbor extremist or terrorist elements...

He sure destroys the notion the Pope is infallible.

Having a perfect *man* on earth is absolutely fundamental and immutable to both religions...

My God didn't defecate in the Holy Land.

However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.”

No it isnt, and the very idea is exactly opposite what Jesus stood for and represents.

#36 ~ Good post.

“...for their persecutors, urged on by the evil spirits, will say they are rendering a great service to God by destroying such pestilent men from the face of the earth...”

IZLAM is the enemy, don’t you see that?

I am not always in agreement with the Holy Father, but he is NOT the enemy. Irresponsible media is more of an enemy than the Pope.

Have a blessed day.

Almost EVERYTHING negative that is reported here on FR about the Holy Father ends up being a distortion or out right lie, when compared to the actual full statement. I’ll hold my verdict until after I see the original source.

I think now we all know the Holy Father is nothing more than a holy fraud.

I don’t consider this an original source, but I’ll play along....

“Pope Francis: Today, I don’t think that there is a fear of Islam as such but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is partly drawn from Islam. It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam. However, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.”


— He said “it is also possible”, which is how a lot of radical islamist interpret the Great Commission. After all, we are in a continuation of a Holy War, like it or not.

“In the face of Islamic terrorism, it would therefore be better to question ourselves about the way in an overly Western model of democracy has been exported to countries such as Iraq, where a strong government previously existed. Or in Libya, where a tribal structure exists. We cannot advance without taking these cultures into account. As a Libyan said recently, “We used to have one Gaddafi, now we have fifty.””


I agree with him here also..... It would have been better to not create the vacuum we did in Iraq and Libya.

Uh - I think the disciples’ method of conquest was via preaching and persuasion - Muslims take a slightly more violent approach - this guy can’t be that stupid.....
