Some in the Catholic Church are actually blaming Israelites for violence at the Temple Mount.
Oh, they’re not coming right out and saying Israel is the aggressor. But they’re suggesting as much.
This is unbelievable.
As Robert Spencer with Jihad Watch writes:
This is the classic dhimmi mentality, the mindset of those who have been subjugated for so long under Muslim hegemony that they can’t imagine viewing the world in any other way. For centuries, Christians in Muslim lands were inculcated with the idea that if they criticized Islam in any way, even the slightest negative word, they would be killed. They got used to praising their masters and overlords, however contrary to fact the praise may have been, simply as a matter of survival. Then the Arab nationalist movement, which was begun in large part by Christian Arabs as an attempt to place themselves on equal footing with the Muslims on a secular and ethnic basis, thereby mitigating the institutionalized discrimination of the Sharia, resulted only in the Christian Arab communities completely adopting Muslim political perspectives, and identifying themselves with the jihad agenda.
So what’s the story?
Breaking Israel News reports how amid all the tensions on Temple Mount, Catholics are coming forward to blame Israel for fueling the violence — and one bishop in particular, is actually saying the Palestinians have committed no acts of aggression.
Amid the intensifying battles surrounding the Temple Mount, the Catholic Church expressed its concerns in terms that placed the blame entirely on Israel while referring to the site exclusively by its Muslim name. One bishop stated in an interview on Vatican Radio that there has, in fact, been no Palestinian violence.
On Sunday, Pope Francis addressed the crowd gathered in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square, telling them that he viewed “with trepidation the grave tensions and violence” surrounding the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
“I feel the need to express a distressed appeal for moderation and dialogue,” the Pope said, calling on the people to pray for the sake of Jerusalem.
The violence the Pope is referring to began ten days ago when three Palestinian terrorists murdered two Druze Israeli policemen while they guarded the entrance to the Temple Mount. The Israeli police entered the site and, after a gunbattle, killed the three terrorists.
The Israeli government closed the site to all visitors until Sunday, when it reopened to Muslims with increased security measures that included walk-through metal detectors. The Islamic Waqf, the Muslim trust which controls the Temple Mount, called for a boycott of the site. Muslim crowds rioted last week and three Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli police.
On Friday night, a Palestinian, citing the situation at the Temple Mount as his motivation, entered the town of Halamish. There, he murdered a 70-year-old grandfather and his middle-aged son and daughter while they sat at their Sabbath table. He also seriously wounded the 68-year-old grandmother.
In the wake of the growing violence, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem released a statement. Signed by the heads of all 13 Christian communities in Jerusalem, it condemned the recent escalation of violence at the Temple Mount, but did so in language that clearly favored the Palestinians and condemned Israel. The statement referred to the site by its Arabic names, disregarding any Jewish or Christian connection to the site.
“We, the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem, express our serious concern regarding recent escalation in violent developments around Haram ash-Sharif and our grief for the loss of human life and strongly condemn any act of violence,” the statement read.
The statement said that the violence was due solely to a change in the status quo, i.e. placing metal detectors at the entrances to the Temple Mount.
“We are worried about any change to historical (Status Quo) situation in al-Aqsa Mosque (Haram ash-Sharif) and its courtyard, and in the holy city of Jerusalem. Any threat to its continuity and integrity could easily lead to serious and unpredictable consequences, which would be most unwelcome in the present tense religious climate.
“We value the continued custody of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy places in Jerusalem and the Holy Land which guarantees the right for all Muslims to free access and worship to al Aqsa Mosque according to the prevailing Status Quo.
“We renew our call that the historical Status Quo governing these sites be fully respected, for the sake of peace and reconciliation to the whole community, and we pray for a just and lasting peace in the whole region and all its peoples.”
The statement made no mention of the Muslim terror attack that led to Israel placing the metal detectors at the entrances to the site. Nor did it refer to the horrific Palestinian terror attack on Friday.

But does Rome not remember the Jewish Capital of Jerusalem?
Can do this with a little effort!

Yeah, right.
We just cannot hold the real perpetrators to be responsible for their actions, now, can we? Poor little “palestinians”.
Bob
Do you think Pope is christian or Islamonazi ? Check http://tinyurl.com/ydy8fkhl
What do you expect from church that never spoke against Islamic terrorists and allowed the genocide, gang rape, selling christian women and minors as sex slaves.
Popes since the Crusades have coveted Jerusalem as their property – now of course, the movement seeks to make it an “international city”.
Jerusalem is not the big issue. THE pope himself is a islamonazi.
no its all about surviving past this century.
With that Crime family it is all about the money.
>> well as satan took over the roman catholic ‘church’ through Constantine,
Roman Emperor from 306 to 337 AD, they must follow orders <<
hes a survivor, dont underestimate him. If the Vatican survives then all is well, right? lol
He is a moron.
‘Bout the same as I thought about a church that abided the Nazis during WWII, they’re hoping to survive.
never spoke against Islamic terrorists? are you referring to the Catholic Church? if it wasn’t for the Catholic Church fighting back islam throughout the centuries you would probably be face down on a prayer rug praying to mecca 5xs a day right about now that’s if your head was still attached to your body. but I see you’re more focused on the scandals involving her Judas than what’s actually going on inside the church. http://www.thepopeinred.com/
I’m talking about present islamonazi Pope.
As a Catholic, I am appalled at the lack of support for Israel from the church. This is the birthplace of Christianity and now the Church is bowing down to a satanic cult that is Islam.
Francis is a communist, he is basically useless as pope. He is a pawn of Soros.
Indeed. Money talks on all fronts – including between the perpetrators of evil.
I hope the cardinals pick Cardinals Burke or Sarah as the next pope.
Francis only has one lung so he out to be dead by now?
Catholicism’s founder is a Jew as were almost all the first ones. What is the matter with todays hierarchy?
you do know history!!
They are all Communists trying to destroy the Catholic Church. The Vatican’s “Congregation for Bishops,” which selects which priest will become a bishop, only chooses heretics, atheists and Communists to become bishops.
been infiltrated by Freemasons and satanist.
How?
around the 10min mark canon lawyer Gregory Hesse who worked with bishops and cardinals in Rome for over 15yrs explains. https://youtu.be/LgAwOSBcvaU
Too long, if the point can’t be made in under five minutes, belabouring it for over and hour will not do so either.
you asked “how” and I gave you a video packed with info from people who know explain “how” if you don’t want to listen then don’t listen. it’s only an hour long anyway that you can pause and listen to whenever time is convenient it’s not like an eternity.
The point is that all great truths and statements of relevance can be easily spoken in under ten minutes. When alleged soothsayers and profits have to go on for hours, it is an indicator that they do not believe themselves.
then just listen to 10mins of it. those are not soothsayers and profits in the video just people who know what they’re talking about.
What is the result of this infiltration?
modernize the church, a softer stance on islam, apostasy and so on.
Delilah is alive and up to date but you see christiana and being a Christian are not birds of a feather – being a ROMA clatholic and a Catholic are not the same
the Church has been infiltrated for quite some time Delilah. http://www.thepopeinred.com/
There has always been a ‘cell’ of Catholic dhimmis, flunkies and tools in the Holy Land, especially in the hierarchy. I am Catholic and believe me it sickens me.
Same here.
As a practicing Catholic I will never abide by any Church ruling to protect, aid, or even get along with, ANY Muslims until Muslims clean up their own nest.
That means rounding up their own criminals and mass executing them.
Renouncing their hatred of Israel and Jews, (and infidels in general) and forming human shields to protect Israel and Jews.
Kicking the snot out of any of their own who vandalize Jewish, (and Infidel’s in general) property.
Kicking the crap out of any supporting Nazi policies.
Yada, yada, etcetera, etcetera.
You get my drift.
I’ve lived in MIddle East countries for almost two years, been attacked by Muslim pirates every time we sailed into a Muslim country, or through Muslim waters, and am DONE believing “words” from any of their public spokespersons because so far ALL have turned out to be backstabbing snakes in the grass.
Turn the other cheek is only to make sure you haven’t misunderstood something the first time you got smacked.
If the second cheek is hit, intent is obvious.
When the head is rolling down the street, the cheeks turn over frequently, that is not what was meant.
No, what I think the saying means is that if you are insulted, or even assaulted (within reason) you should turn the other cheek to see if the person will strike again.
You don’t have to TAKE the second attack. If they try, you’re ready to defend.
Providing that gives you the chance to clear up any misunderstanding.
So what’s your evaluation of islamic head choppers? Rank beginners? Gifted amateurs? Just kidding.
What they lack in style, they make up for in enthusiasm.
They really don’t seem to be very good at it. If I’m ever in position of being beheaded I’ll request an expert be flown in from JP to do the job — even if at my own expense. I only want the best for my beheading.
we sailed into a Muslim country – as in Dar Es Salamm salamm bologna, Mogadishu, Mombasa &c.
I am Catholic and believe me it sickens me. – one way to cure that, pray to Christ for forgiveness and destroy all your idols – ->An idol is an image or other material object representing a deity or spirit to which religious worship is addressed or any person or thing regarded “with admiration”<- cellphone, TV, Computer &c.
This is one of the many reasons Catholics are no longer attending church, as it is not honest, it has sold out to islam. It is time for a schism with rome being left to its union with islam then total submission to it. The actual Christian Catholics will find a Christian Leader in Poland, where the faith still exists.
Are you a practicing Catholic?
Health issues permitting and as an excommunicated one, my participation’s limited. The problem many have is with the islamification of Catholicism, not Catholicism itself.
So, you are not a practicing Catholic.
practicing – is that the same as play acting?
Could be, but I once was a “practicing” Catholic. To make a long story short, I now attend a Church of God Pentecostal church (headquarters in Cleveland TN). Denominational labels are not as important as being a genuine, born-again Christian.
Romans 2:11King James Version (KJV)
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
that be non “denominational”
To the degree that I can, I am.
excommunicated – take that as a blessing and keep Christ in your heart
Meh, I know the rules, I broke them, serves me right. Mea Culpa.
Even Judaism allows for divorce, a fact I’m sure Yeshua and all his disciples were familiar with.
Though I am a Jewish sympathizer, I am not Jewish.
Yeshua & His disciples & writings were/are. Then came the First Schism between G-d fearers & paganism.
True, but Yeshua upset the Pharisees when He told them that whoever divorces his wife (except for unchastity), and marries another commits adultery, and vise-versa (Matthew 19:3-9).
some say “put out “- without a get(divorce) except for adultery.is forbidden.
Some English translations (including the KJV) say “put away”. Checking Strong’s Concordance, I found that the Greek word used was “apŏluō”, which could mean anything from “setting free” to “divorce”. The context in Matthew 19 seems to be “divorce”.
there is debate about abuse, neglect, desertion & even uncleaness
Thank G-d. If you’re married to an alcoholic or a drug addict or thief or murderer it would be insane to have to continue in such a marriage.
Since when is a Greek translation the final arbiter of a work written in Aramaic?
Do understand that everything from Genesis to Malachi were written in Hebrew or Aramaic. But most of the New Testament translations are directly from the Greek. The concordance I use deals with the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
Granted, no translations are perfect. But not only I’m blest for the privilege of reading and meditating on the Scriptures; G-d actually reveals His truth to me through His Word as I read it.
Christianity is not like the cult of islam, where to be properly instructed one must speak and understand medieval arabic. Christianity was given to humanity for daily use , in the vernacular of the people and place, nit picking precise meanings of vague concepts is not what was in mind when the scriptures were written.
You’re right. But it is sometimes good to look up the original meaning of the Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek. I had to deal with those who massacre the English translations.
On the other hand, the Bible was not meant to be read as one reads a another text book. Many times, when I read the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit gives me understanding, so that I can bless others. It is my rule book for Christian living.
While I don’t split hairs between “divorce” and “putting away”, I respect your position. The King James Version does use “putting away” in Matthew 19:9: “And I say unto, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” In Malachi 2:16 (KJV), we read, For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts,: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.” Blessings and shalom.
If this is the same Robin Gould you are referring to, I found her website at https://www.newcovenantpath.com/. There are three books listed at her “Shop” site. One of them is “Divorce and Remarriage in the Bible”, but couldn’t find the one you mentioned. Her “Statement of Faith” site, though, is right on the alley of what I believe, except the observance of the Sabbath. However, I have no problem if my church, or if Gentile Christians in general, do move back from observing the first day to the seventh day. This, I believe, will bring more unity between the Jews and Gentile believers, which would please Yeshua, our Messiah.
So Yeshua contradicts Moses the Lawgiver?
Deuteronomy 24
What if one’s husband is a wife beater or rapist? What if one’s wife is an adulterer?
Dear friend, if you read what Yeshua said when the Pharisees quoted Deuteronomy 24, He answered that it was because of the hardness of their heart that Moses allowed divorce. But He also quoted Genesis 1:27 and 2:24, and said, “What G-d has joined together, let no man put asunder.” Adultery and rape are forms of unchastity, where Yeshua made an exception.
It is common sense that if a husband physically abuses his wife, she should flee to safety. My understanding was that there was a tradition in Yeshua’s days, that the husband often divorced his wife over trivial things, such as burning the food. (Correct me if I’m wrong.)
While I don’t have all the answers, there is a website which has biblical guidelines in divorce and remarriage, found at http://www1.cbn.com/questions/bible-says-about-divorce-and-remarriage. Hope that helps. Blessings to you 🙂
I practice Tridentine Mass Catholicism (Extraordinary Form).
I don’t practice the teenage boy-meat loving sex cult of the Catholic hierarchy.
Who asked you?
the schism took place a long time ago and was even foretold way before it ever occurred in the 16th century with startling accuracy. this is why the church is in turmoil. http://www.thepopeinred.com/

American Catholics are getting fed up with the South American socialist as pope. It is time for a real leader in the Catholic Church, not this communist charlatan.
Amen!
Never heard that before, probably never will again, either.
Besides the metal detectors in mecca and the vatican. Perhaps this fine bishop or whatever his title is should look at Bethlehem…30 years ago 90 percent christian and now 7 percent christian. 93 percent moslem..The city will die.
I see, so if they can’t direct the blame to the real perpetrators, the real Islamic villain’s, or even themselves, then blame the Jewish people who after all are only trying to protect themselves from Muslim bloodlust. The Jews should ban them entirely and pull the mosque down. Jerusalem has always been Jewish land.
Last week, a group of us were watching a documentary on the 1967 Six-Day War. One of those watching believed that Israel should have taken out the mosque back then. I tend to agree with him, because it has now become a thorn on Israel’s side.
all in G-d’s good timing. Were U ready back in ’67?
No, I wasn’t ready. I was an uniformed 24-year-old back then. But you have a point. Eventually, the Temple will be rebuilt, with or without the mosque (hopefully the latter).
Ezekiel 40. the Temple is built. Dont know if its the Millennial 1,000 years or not, Michiach not mentioned. ?!
This third temple to be rebuilt is possibly the “tribulation” temple. One of the scriptural references is from Daniel 9:27, when the lawless one will cause sacrifice and offering to cease for three and a half years. Jesus makes reference to it in Matthew 24:15-22.
The reference in Ezekiel 40 through 47 seems to be the millennial temple. Can you explain your reference to Michiach?
Mathew 24 seems to speak of the whole time from the day He was speaking till He returns. Its already been around 2400 yrs right? Some things have happened,(the Jews did flee to Petra), some haven’t. Not even sure they are in order. But I cant find words in Ezekiel 40-47 that proves He has returned. Israel is at peace Before Gog & Maygog (Ez. 38), & after Temple is rebuilt (Ex. 40). Sorry, I dont know much that I can prove.
Moslems destroy Christian Churches, Buddist temples, Sihk temples, Hindu temples etc., and no one cares.
Rebuilding the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount would be simple urban renewal. The new temple on the Temple Mount would be reparations for all the Islamic destruction of religious properties over the centuries.
Yes- what is it with the Roman Catholics? Orders? Bet it wasn’t Maronite, Coptic or Chaldean Catholics. Most of them are dead however. One of the things about this Pope that I’ve never liked is his association and history with people who propped up the ratline (Nazi war criminals that escaped to South America-established by the Catholic Church). In the US Catholic Charities major source of income is coming from refugees (did you know that Catholics and Mormons have been using this as a money stream?).
The ecumenical movement in action.
This is the American Christian churches response to the subhuman violence of islam.
All of the major Christian churches in America have come out in favor of importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims into the US from the Middle East, even though such a move will speed up the extinction of both European-Americans and Christianity itself.
The Lutheran church in America has become the latest Christian denomination to make a formal appeal to Congress to allow even more Muslim “refugees from Syria” into the US, according to a report on the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service website.
The Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), which is made up of a partnership between the three largest Lutheran Churches in America, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod LC-MS, and the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (LELCA), brought together over 30 Lutheran bishops, pastors, service partners, and leaders for the annual Lutheran Immigration Leadership Summit (LILS) On October 26–27.
Lutherans-advocate-for Syrian-refugees
According to the Lutheran news site report, the next day, LILS participants gathered for a Lutheran prayer breakfast on Capitol Hill where Lutheran representative David Cicilline (D-RI), “a staunch advocate for increasing aid to and resettlement of Syrian refugees, motivated our participants with his call for action.”
After that, the LILS participants attended a meeting with White House officials, including representatives from the National Security Council, Domestic Policy Council, and the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
According to the Lutheran news site, the LILS participants then “delivered petitions from thousands of Lutherans asking for the resettlement of more Syrian refugees.”
The Lutherans are merely the latest in the long line of all major Christian denominations to line up to plead the case for the 97 percent Sunni Muslim “refugee resettlement program” already in place.
1. The Catholic Church, with 68.5 million members, is now the single largest denomination in America.
Catholics-refugees
That church is proud to boast that the United States Catholic Bishops’ Migration and Refugee Services department “resettles approximately 30 percent of the refugees that arrive in the US each year.”
It also encourages all Catholics to contact their “local Catholic Charities agency to find out if it has a resettlement program and, if so, how you can assist them in their effort to resettle refugees and help them build new lives of hope here in the United States.”
2. The next largest denomination in the US is the Southern Baptist Convention, which has 16.1 million members.
SB-10-ways-to-help
On its website, under an article titled “10 ways you can help with the Syrian refugee crisis” that church tells its members that “Global migration has brought many Syrians to the United States. Your church has an incredible opportunity to share God’s love with them as they make new lives here.”
It then urges its members to become involved in an online “community project” called ethnecity.com, which is centered around “integrating” as many “immigrants” and “refugees” as possible into the US.
3. The third largest denomination is the United Methodist Church, which has 7.8 million members.
UMC-SYRIANS
In an article on its website (“US faith leaders: Take in more Syrian refugees,” Sept. 28, 2015), it announced that “Now, it is time for the US to act,” and that its church leaders had gathered “Sept. 28 near the US Capitol to press Congress and the Obama Administration to resettle 100,000 Syrian refugees by the end of next year.”
READ 30,000 Afghan “Refugees” in the US
4. The fourth largest denomination is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or “Mormons,” which boasts some 6 million members.
LDS-syrians
On that church’s website devoted to charities, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints told its readers that “LDS Charities takes a special interest in the estimated 70,000 refugees living in Utah by supporting local refugee resettlement agencies with a variety of assistance including: Deseret Industries store vouchers, furniture, bedding, food, English acquisition, job coaching, on-the-job training, and employer placement.”
Furthermore, the Mormon church said, “LDS Charities advocates support for local community efforts that assist relocated refugees, and it especially encourages the volunteerism of its members in these causes.”
5. The fifth largest denomination in America is the Church of God in Christ, a 5.5 million-strong black Pentecostal church.
chog-syrians
The Church of God in Christ told its supporters that its “Disaster Relief Committee had been working with organizations and individuals in multiple locations . . . As refugees continue to make their way into Europe and other safer zones, we are currently working with our Global Strategy regional coordinators in Europe and the Middle East to connect with partners working with these groups.”
6. The sixth largest denomination in America is another black church, the National Baptist Convention, USA, which has 5 million members. They, like many of the smaller black Christian churches, all support the Church World Service which has called for more Middle Eastern “refugees” in the US (see below).
7. The seventh largest denomination is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, with 4.5 million members. As outlined above, this church is actively lobbying Congress to bring in even more Muslim “refugees”—and has even submitted its own testimony to the Senate in this regard.
ELCA-syrians
According to a “Statement for the Record of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America submitted to Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Human Rights Hearing on ‘The Syrian Refugee Crisis’” (January 7, 2014, available on the Evangelical Lutheran Church’s website here), the US has a “moral obligation to individual refugees and to the international community to begin immediately accepting Syrian refugees into the US refugee resettlement program.”
8. The eighth largest denomination is the National Baptist Convention of America, a 3.5 million-strong black church. It supports the Church World Service which has called for more Middle Eastern “refugees” in the US (see below).
9. The ninth largest denomination in America is the Assemblies of God USA (AG), a 2.9 million-strong Pentecostal Christian denomination.
This church is actively involved in providing on-the-ground aid to the nonwhite invaders in Greece, as outlined on its blog, where AG pastors Pat and Brenda Mahar thanked church members for their money and support in their work amongst the Muslims this way: “Thank you for your contribution toward the needs of the Syrian, Eritrean, and Afghan refugees! We have used BGMC funds to help feed and clothe many refugees who are boarding ferries on the Island of Lesbos, Greece, coming to Athens. -Pat and Brenda Mahar, pastors, ICF of Athens”
The tenth largest denomination is the Presbyterian Church (USA), which has 2.7 million members.

PCUSA-syrians
According to that church’s own news service (“Christian denominations and ecumenical groups urge more support for Syrian refugees,” September 30, 2015), “The Presbyterian Church (USA) is one of a dozen Christian denominations and ecumenical groups that have sent a letter to the White House, urging the president to do more to help Syrian refugees.
“The US should open its doors to receive many more refugees. Even with more adequate funding for humanitarian assistance, some Syrians feel they will never be able to return home safely and wish to resettle in a third country. Many in our faith communities have a long and rich history of welcoming refugees. We encourage the US to accept more Syrian refugees and to expedite the processing of these applications.”
In addition to the Presbyterian Church (USA), that letter was signed by some smaller denominations, including the Church of the Brethren; the Global Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and United Church of Christ; the Mennonite Central Committee US; and the United Church of Christ, Justice and Witness Ministries.
The Church World Service (CWS) is an umbrella organization which speaks on behalf of 37 Christian denominations in the US, including many smaller denominations not listed above.
These CWS member churches include the African Methodist Episcopal Church; the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; the Alliance of Baptists; the American Baptist Churches USA; the Armenian Church of America (including Diocese of California); the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ); the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church; the Church of the Brethren; the Community of Christ; the Coptic Orthodox Church in North America; the Ecumenical Catholic Communion; the Episcopal Church; the Friends United Meeting; the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America; the Hungarian Reformed Church in America; the International Council of Community Churches; the Korean Presbyterian Church in America; the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church; the Mar Thoma Church; the Moravian Church in America; the Orthodox Church in America; the Patriarchal Parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A.; the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends; the Polish National Catholic Church of America; the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Inc.; the Reformed Church in America; the Serbian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A. and Canada; the Swedenborgian Church; the Syrian Orthodox Church of Antioch; the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America; and the United Church of Christ. Some of the larger denominations are also members of the Church World Service, such as the United Methodist Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Reuters-Christians
According to a Reuters report (“Religious groups push US to take in 100,000 Syrian refugees,” September 9, 2015), the Church World Service called on the government to take in 100,000 Syrians over the next year.
READ Germany: Invaders above Law
According to US Census Data, the United States admits roughly 100,000 Muslim immigrants legally each year, representing the fastest growing block of immigration into the United States. Pew Research has estimated that immigration will cause the population of US Muslims to more than double over the next two decades—from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030.
Every year the United Stated admits 70,000 “asylum seekers and refugees.” Arabic is the most common language spoken by “refugees“, and 91.4 percent of refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps.
The Christian churches which support the continued influx of Muslims from the Middle East are therefore active participants in the genocide of European-Americans, and, ironically, also of the eradication of Christianity in the United States.
Madness. Madness.
All main-line Protestant churches and the Catholic Church hate Christianity and want to destroy it by bringing in all the Moslems to kill it in both North America and Europe.
The only decent Christians are Evangelicals and Latin Mass (1962 old order) Catholics.
I’m not surprised by Lutherans — after all their founder was a Jew hating psychopath. It would be interesting to see how Martin Luther faced his judgement WRT those issues.
Betcha he got some time in Purgatory, none of this mumble a few prayers and all is forgiven.
No counting beads eh? Are rosary beads still employed by Catholics?
I hope there’s a Purgatory, that way I’ll only have a 33% chance of spending eternity w/muslums and nazis.

Hey Bishop take your silly hat and go back to Latin America. Also Bishop FU and the pope. We do not need or want you to say anything. So just STFU.
“One bishop stated in an interview on Vatican Radio that there has, in fact, been no Palestinian violence”. This fool should be forced to preside over the funerals of the victims of palestinian violence, and, at the funeral, clearly state that this is not palestinian violence, then tell the world what it really is. Or sit down and shut up as he in not walking finest “Shoes of the Fisherman” but those of a clown.
Israel should withdraw any protection it provides to these traitors. Let their fellow pedophiles protect them.
The presence of Christianity in Israel is becoming unhelpful.
The Catholic Church has had its growing pains for almost 1900 years and now, old, arthritic, and senile, it no longer understands the gospel of Jesus. It collects money, cannot find any real differences in Islam, promotes Social Justice and Revolution Theology while condemning Capitalism. Christ aimed his message at the Individual, not groups and races…The Church
did not promote The State and now it does. The Reformation was a given and now the Catholic Church, like a nation without borders, can become something else, perhaps it can Submit to Islam.
This cowardice goes a long way back. Paul of tsarsus was so frightened of Rome’s power that he blamed the Jews for Jesus’s death instead of the Roman’s who actually killed him. And speaking of cowardice, did you see the reaction to Pamela Geller after the Garland, Texas event? And anti-Semites say Jews are cowards :-I
Yet the Jews await the anti christ
You should know better than that.
There was no such name as Paul in the 1st century CE or Jesus for that matter. After all Jesus wasn’t hispanic/latino.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Good one, Catholic “church”! And we wonder why church numbers are plummeting!!!
“We renew our call that the historical Status Quo……
and we pray for a just and lasting peace in the whole region and all its peoples.” No they dont. Thats the last thing they want
ASSHOLES
Sucking up to and on the moslem pigs in the hope that
THEY WILL BE KILLED LAST !
ASSHOLES
Just like the current DOPE in Rome.
Shows you what I been saying.
Catholics aren’t Christians at all. You will note both the Moslems and the Catholics like little boys and RAPE them.
Like professional athletes and actors, does that make them muslims and Catholics?
Ask them if they are Moslems or Catholics.
muslims don’t play sports as they are forbidden, others do, not just Catholics.
I thought they like to play catch donkey?
That is not recreation, that brings them closer to alice the demon.
Not Dorothy the donkey?
Definitely dhimmi democrat donkeys.
That is a fact. muslims know the they are going to hell anyway.
As muslims learn to read, and are exposed to the west, whether they like it or not, they are faced with the qur’an and its contradictory garbage.
Prophet Mohammed’s confession:
“I have fabricated things against God and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken.”
— Al-Tabari, The History of Al-Tabari, vol. vi, p. 111
‘Then Gabriel came to the apostle and said , “What have you done, Muhammad? You have read to these people something I did not bring you from God and you have said what He did not say to you.”‘
— Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, p. 166
There will be no one of you who will not enter it (Hell).
This was an inevitable decree of your Lord.
Afterwards he may save some of the pious, God-fearing Muslims out of the burning fire.
— Sura 19:71-72
If their idea of heaven is to be married to 72 virgins I pity them. When you think about it Jannah must be run by women:
Virgin No. 1: Yuck.

Virgin No. 4: Ow.
Virgin No. 5: Do you like cats? I have fourteen!

Virgin No. 9: It was a garlic-and-onion pizza. Why?
Virgin No. 10: . . . so I see Heath, and he goes, “Like, what are you

Virgin No. 33: You like-ee?
Virgin No. 34: I’ll betcha you can’t get an erection. Go on, impress me. C’mon, show me. Show me, big shot.
Virgin No. 35: By the way, here in Heaven “virgin” has a slightly different meaning. It means “chatty.”
Virgin No. 36: Sure, I like you, but as a friend.
Virgin No. 37: No kissing. I save that for my boyfriend.
Virgin No. 38: I’m Zania, from the planet Xeron. My vagina is on my foot.
Virgin No. 39: It’s a lesion, and, no, I don’t know what kind.
Virgin No. 40: I’m Jewish. Why do you ask?

Virgin No. 44: You like my breasts? They were my graduation gift.
Virgin No. 45: When you’re done, you should really check out how cool this ceiling is.
Virgin No. 46: I’m almost there. Just another couple of hours.
Virgin No. 47: Get your own beer, you nitwit.
Virgin No. 48: No, you’ve got it wrong. We’re in the Paradise Casino.
Virgin No. 49: I really enjoyed that. Thank you very much. Gee, it’s late.
Virgin No. 50: You make me feel like a real woman. And after this is over I’m going to find one.
Virgin No. 51: What do you mean, “move a little”?
Virgin No. 52: Not now, I’m on my BlackBerry.
Virgin No. 53: I love it when you put on your pants and leave.
Virgin No. 54: We’ve been together twenty-four hours now, and, you know, sometimes it’s O.K. to say something mildly humorous.
Virgin No. 55: That was terrible. I should have listened to the other virgins.
Virgin No. 56: I think I found it. Is that it? Oh. Is this it? Oh, this must be it. No?
Virgin No. 57: It must be hot in here, because I know it’s not me.
Virgin No. 58: Those are my testicles.
Virgin No. 59: Did you know that “virgin” is an anagram of Irving?

Virgin No. 62: Was that it?
Virgin No. 63: Dang. George Clooney was being reckless on a motorcycle, but instead I got you.
Virgin No. 64: Tonight, I become a woman. But until then you can call me Bob.
Virgin No. 65: They’re called “adult diapers.” Why?
Virgin No. 66: We could do it here for free, or on a stage in Düsseldorf for money.
Virgin No. 67: I’m just Virgin No. 67 to you, right?
Virgin No. 68: Pee-yoo. Are you wearing Aramis?
Virgin No. 69: Condom, please.
Virgin No. 70: My name is Mother Teresa.
Virgin No. 71: I’m not very good at this, but let’s start with the Reverse Lotus Blossom.
Virgin No. 72: It was paradise, until you showed up.
All of them “What’s that? It looks like a penis, only smaller”.
It was originally by Steve Martin. I always like the last one: “It was paradise, until you showed up.”
64 and 65 !
Pope Francis is a Moslem so don’t expect any help from him. Francis: “I hate it when Europe is referred to as Christian.” The remainder of the Catholic hierarchy are too busy sucking the young meat of their teenage boyfriends to care about what is going on in Israel.
Catholic Church = teenage boy sex cult.
Stupid comments like that make you look stupid.
He’s probably projecting his own wants/desires on the Catholic Church.
If you bother to read his home page, John D makes a career out of wild, ugly statements about any and everyone. Perhaps he is seeking a following–any one–for a future career in politics, and testing the water ?
I am Catholic. This makes me sad.
Time to draw the line in the sand. This catholic church is into appeasing the enemy just as they did with the nazis in wwii.
One more Proof that the catholics and muslimes are sister bedfellows and have been steadily coming out of the closet. Those of you that are old enough to remember what it was like will see the noticeable consistencies between the two!! Proving that when sATANIC ideologies emerge out into the mainstream public they all pretty much follow the same path to the forefront and we have been seeing a steady rise of The catholic/muslime coming to the center of the room holding hands and even caught in a loving embrace here and there!
“Breaking Israel News reports how amid all the tensions on Temple Mount, Catholics are coming forward to blame Israel for fuelling the violence — and one bishop in particular, is actually saying the Palestinians have committed no acts of aggression”. Perhaps a review of one of the Ten Commandments is is order “Thou shalt not bear false witness”. What part of that does the Catholic hierarchy not understand?
