The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is encouraging Christians to join in the Islamic iftar ‘ritual’ meal on the occasion of the Muslim festival of Ramadan.
ChurchMilitant (h/t Marvin W) In a Ramadan greeting to “Muslim brothers and sisters” Friday, the Vatican dicastery called upon Christians and Muslims to “protect together” mosques and churches and quoted the prophet Isaiah 56:7 affirming that “a place of worship of any religion therefore is ‘a house of prayer.'”
“For us, your Christian friends, it is a propitious time to further strengthen our relationships with you, by greeting you, meeting you on this occasion and, where possible, by sharing in an Iftar with you,” the statement read.
Speaking to Church Militant, world-renowned Islamic scholar Robert Spencer said he was disturbed by the Vatican’s “assumptions that arise from Vatican II declarations about Muslims together with us adoring the God of Abraham.”
“By participating in iftars, Christians are helping celebrate an imperative to conquer and subjugate them,” he noted. “Iftar is not just a meal. It is the breaking of the Ramadan fast every evening. Ramadan is a month devoted to intensifying one’s observance of Islam and growing more righteous.”
“In Islam, the most righteous deed of all is jihad, which most prominently involves warfare against and the subjugation of non-Muslims. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: ‘Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).’ Muhammad replied, ‘I do not find such a deed’ (Bukhari 4.52.44),” Spencer explained.
Author of the bestselling The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, the historian told Church Militant he was also shocked by the Vatican drawing a parallel “between the destruction of churches and mosques in this age or any age.”
“Such equivalence demonstrates historical illiteracy as throughout history thousands, if not tens of thousands, of churches have been turned into mosques in order to demonstrate the superiority of Islam over Christianity, and the victory of Muslims over Christians,” Spencer observed.
He continued:
The foremost example of this is the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Also the Umayyad Mosque, formerly the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Damascus. The mosque of Cordoba might seem to be an equivalent example of a mosque that was converted into a church, but it is just a single example against a mountain of examples on the Islamic side. Islam explicitly proclaims that it is the true embodiment of Christ’s teachings, and that Christianity is illegitimate. This has worked out for 1,400 years in the destruction or conversion of churches.
In its Ramadan statement, the Vatican recalled Pope Francis’ words on a visit to the Heydar Aliyev Mosque, in Baku (Azerbaijan) in 2016: “Meeting one another in fraternal friendship in this place of prayer is a powerful sign, one that shows the harmony which religions can build together, based on personal relations and on the good will of those responsible.”
But Spencer slammed the pontiff’s words as “ignoring, as do all modern Church statements about Islam, that religion’s deeply embedded doctrines that completely delegitimize Christianity and call for warfare against Christians and those of other faiths, with mosques as the base of operations (qaeda).”
“This is why we have seen weapons stockpiled in so many mosques around the world,” Spencer added, pointing out that the pope “would do well to consider who exactly is being worshiped in mosques, when Muslims have so very often, in so many countries, come out of Friday prayers and violently attacked non-Muslims.

I’m a cradle Catholic of 74 years and will never leave the Church. But Pope Francis (or Poop Fransoros) is the worst Pope in history. I doubt he believes in God. He is a despicable Marxist, promoter of the the New World Order and the fake religion of Islam. The cardinals who elected him will have much to answer for. He allows idols to be worshipped in the Vatican and constantly undermines Catholic teaching. EWWW.
Conrad Calvano says
The Pope seems to have a foot fetish. This is not the first Black feet that he has bent down to kiss and sniff. I have been suspecting all along,but am beginning to be convinced that the man has reverted. What is worse is that there is a real possibility that he has been planted there by the Sheik Obama when he was heading the White Mosque, by forcing his predecessor to abdicate!
Steve says
Hahaha, fuck that for a joke.
Not going to happen.
How mighty a cuck is this “Pope” ?
He is the religious version of Soros.
Jasmine says
decastery should read ‘disastery ‘ …lol
asking muslims and christians to protect each other’s places of worship ? really ?
should’nt it be asking non-orthodox muslims and christians and other fair minded human being to protect churches from other foaming-at -the mouth, allah-akbar screaming rabid muslims?….cos it ‘s only muslims who burn down other people’s places of worship…..never ever heard of jews, christians, buddhists, hindus, sikhs, zoroastrians, taoists, confucianists, cao dai,shintoists ,etc etc burn down somebody else’s place of worship ?!!!
Oh by the way ,mohammadians not only threaten churches and synagogues, but they also burn down thousands of hindu temples , sikh gurudwaras, buddhist and jain meditation centers and animist shrines when they committed unspeakable genocide on the indian subcontinent centuries ago…to the tune of 80 million hindus,30 million buddhists, 10 million sikhs, 3 million jains, parsees, animists and the thomasian christians of kerala…..why isn’t the western school children learning about this disgusting and daemonic legacy of the mohammadians ?
We actually have 2 pandemics running concurrently….the slow smoldering pandemic of Islamobola with its profusion of different strains of the mental Virus which wax and wane over the centuries because the world has been unable to find a potent vaccine to eradicate this bane…….and the current pandemic of Corona-bola or CCP-virus ( chinese communist party-virus ..scientific name = viridae sinocommunistensis ) caused by another ideological virus /chinese communism based on marxist -leninist -maoist tenets ( just like islamobola is a mental virus based on the rantings and ravings of a desert warlord and murderer par excellence )
CCP-bola cannot tolerate Islamobola ie is why the chinese communist treat the Uyghur mohammadians so harslhly in xinchiang province….if you are king of the mafia,you can’t tolerate too much competition you know LOL.

just like Israel president destroy Muslim place of worship, illegally taking away of their property and also killing Muslim both young and old
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
Sounds like a plan! The more the merrier!
Linda Rivera says
A HUGE LIE. No Muslim places of worship have been destroyed in Israel. Muslims have not illegally had their property taken away. Israel has not killed Muslims.
Muslim Rabid JESUS CHRIST HATERS DEFILED and Desecrated the world famous Christian church in Bethlehem.
The Quran calls the Muslim god, the greatest deceiver.
British Colonel: “IDF is most moral army in the history of warfare”
Stephen Paslow says
The Catholic Christian Pope does not seem to understand that once Christians begin to mingle; socialize with Muslims that Muslims try to convert Christians to Islam. Muslims preach a distorted view of Christianity, Christians, the West, America, Europe, Democracy, and Freedom. It is a different thing if Muslims come to a Christian, curious about Christianity, and ask questions,without trying to convert the Christian to Islam.
Fatimoh says
I think you are forgetting that Christian preach bad things about Islam all the time and also try to convert Muslim
sweetolbob says
Christians “Preach bad things about islam” ? You man like Honor Killing ? Or like forcibly mutilating girls ? Or like keeping slaves ? Or like dominating women ?
THOSE kind of bad things ?
I wish I could forget them, but the filthy muslims keep doing them.
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
Aren’t you late for your genital mutilation, Fat-tee-mah?
Marie says
Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. These people fall way short of that standard.
This pope is ridiculous. Hasn’t he read the Bible? I’m thinking of when Jesus said that the only way to heaven is through Him.
ME Infidel says
There have been 266 popes throughout history. Beliefnet has Pope Francis listed as one of the top 6 best. A Marxist from Argentina who doesn’t believe in borders (except at the Vatican), is a huge proponent of 3rd world refugees invading Western civilization and sucks up to the death cult of Islam is not my idea of a great pope….which is why I’m no longer a Catholic.
Fatimoh says
Just like the west invade Africa and some other country all in the name of Christianity
BareNakedIslam says
And lucky for Africa that they did, or they’d still be living in grass huts and running around naked.
Hartmut says
‘Invade Africa ….’
Contrary to common belief European settlers rarely confronted the native population and still are a negligent number as of today. And in contrast to that fact look at today’s African terror organizations and tribes like Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, Al-Shabaab, Ansar al-Sharia, Al Qaida – all exclusively Islamic. Even ISIS, while defeated in Syria and Iraq, still got strongholds there and cooperate with local Muslim terror organizations. The victims (mostly Christians) go into the ten thousands, all in the name of the so-called ‘religion of peace’. Can it get any more bigot and perverted?
Oh and when talking about the Apartheid in South Africa: with their last true statesman (Mandela) gone the emphasis shifted to the killing of white farmers, driving them out of the country. But you will probably find this to be a good thing.
Bottom line is there is no other ‘religion’ in the world bringing such an amount of terror with the sole aim of toppling governments, establish a caliphate to enslave people, particularly females, and brutally suppress minorities.
Yes of course this has nothing to do with Islam, they are just doing it wrong, no?
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
I agree with your sentiment. The West should have left you in-bred undesirables to your barbaric living conditions and taken bets on how long you’d survive.
Linda Rivera says
Barbaric Muslims CRUELLY Conquered 56 Nations by the Sword. Nations that were Christian and other religions.
Christians and other non Muslims are SEVERELY PERSECUTED and Savagely Slaughtered by Muslims to this very day in Muslim countries and Muslim areas.
sweetolbob says
I think he must have gotten the “College of Cardinals” shit faced drunk on sacrimonial wine to get himself elected.
I’m sure that he, himself, is the cause for many Roman Catholics leaving the faith or at least stop practicing it.
How long will the Roman Catholics put up with this muslim loving, foot kissing, religious fraud ?
G P says
Buzz off frankie, Catholics broke their Lenten fasting after Good Friday.
Many Catholics will not enter a church building again until the church (people not the building) is rid of this monster. Will he go before the church completely implodes? He is an anti-Christ of the first order.
Fatimoh says
Did your own Bible preaching peace
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
It also says to beat your plowshares into swords. You looking for a fight?
Linda Rivera says
The Eternal Word of God, the Bible, teaches RIGHTEOUSNESS, LOVE, KINDNESS, FORGIVENESS, MERCY, COMPASSION, PURITY and PEACE.
Beautiful Saviour, Jesus Christ, said in the Bible in Matthew 5:
5 “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Bible, Matthew 7:12
Treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Az gal says
This groveling pope was put in place by some forces (evil leftist globs) in the Vatican, probably bribed by Soros. I just read that the real Pope- Benedict has something like an autobiography just out in Germany now. Also just read of a nuns prophecies about a pope in these times being held prisoner.
BareNakedIslam says
I really liked Pope Benedict who had the guts to call out Islam for what it is.
gornisht-helfen says
pope francis is a piece of shit, most catholics despise him.
yes, i am jewish, but read everthing ever day,
Fatimoh says
I am a good Muslim, i know that Jew hate both Muslim and christian
BareNakedIslam says
Nope, just Muslims. We love our Christian brothers and sisters.
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
By “good Muslim”, do you eat with your right hand and shit in your left hand and then not wash your hands? Because that’s what a “good-for-nothing” Muslim does.
Here’s me: Giving you my LEFT middle finger.
Fatimoh says
And what is Islam to your own understanding,
Because Islam is an Arabic word means peace
BareNakedIslam says
Wrong again. Islam means submission.

And “Taquiya” means “Lying through your teeth in order to advance pISLAM”.

This pope is probably Islam’s best agent and reverse integrator. An utter disgrace, he provides a legit reason for people to leave the Roman Catholic church behind.
Quran_O_Virus says
Poop Francis should be air dropped inside MOSUL as he is eager to celebrate RAAAAMMMMMaaaaaDAMN with his extremely PISSFOOL ISIS brothers
Fatimoh says
I think you should do more research, so that you will know that the same ISIS is destroying Islamic country and are been finance by Americans ????
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
ISIS can destroy the Islamic country all they want. We’ll even PAY for it to happen.
Leonie Z. Pipe says
No self-respecting Christian would want to go near their hate-filled satanic cult, or its practitioners. This pope is a deluded depraved quisling a-hole!
I’m betting he didn’t offer the Jews the same solidarity during Pesach or Hanukkah
Fatimoh says
I am from Nigeria
I am a good Muslim who understand the preachings of Islam(meaning peace)
I have a lot of my family and friends who are Christian,
intermarriagetake place between your and we are living happy.
So if you have problem about my religion do more research from people who are Muslim within your environment because what you are saying can cause problem and also to losses of both life and property.
sweetolbob says
Fatimoh:
Are you aware that you may be murdered by some of your peaceful muslims for having Christian friends ?
Do you mean to threaten all infidels, when you speak of losses of life and property ?
As is occurring at the hands of filthy muslims in Africa and India now ?
So you agree with those peaceful filthy muslims doing things like slaughtering Christian families and burning churches with worshipers still in them ?
“islam means peace is pure bulls hit ! Or if you prefer, Pigs hit !
I know that the Old West cowboys were wrong when they would say “The only good Indian is a dead Indian”. It’s a shame they weren’t talking about muslims !
BubbaGrump (@BubbaGrump3) says
Oh, you’re a Nigerian, so that makes your barbaric Theocracy okay?
Boko Harem is from there, too, and NO, it doesn’t make you okay.

Allah created Blacks “for the fire and I don’t care”. Who would do that? It ain’t the God described in John 3:16.
Allah is Satan and Islam is an Arab Mafia disguised as a religion. Dope Francis is a traitor to the church and the human race. My Iftar:3 Oscar Meyer hot dogs.

(Allah created Blacks for the fire) Please wise Quran did you get that from ???????,
Please don’t write about thing you did not have prove of or saying it to the world.
And also do more research on things you know nothing about.

This current faux pope was likely selected by he who chose oshit, oops, obama, He is the first Pope annointed prior to death of previous Pope.
He is also the first Jesuit Pope.
Growing up. my parents never said negative things about Christians, EXCEPT THAT MY MOTHER SAID NEGATIVE THINGS RE JESUITS , THAT THEY WERE EVIL. ONLY ABOUT JESUITS. DID NOT GROW UP WITH NEGATIVE THINGS RE CHRISTIANS. ONLY JESUITS.
i Know that i need to learn more about the Jesuits, but from reading comment boards, online, they are not loved, and beyond that, many Christians (re online comments), despise the Pope, and are either leaving catholicism ot at least not ever donating ever again, many many web sites.
i am OCD re reading these topics.
please, christians on this board, with comments, please offer them. re Jesuit pope, thanks, hope to hear new info.

David says
The pope is Benedict. He did not vacate the see. A controversial but growing realisation in the catholic church. Bergoglio is not the pope by canonical law and the same law sees Benedict is the pope. Look up Ann Bernhardt although she is mistaken in many things such as idolatry, she has a good line on this matter and cogently puts a case for the above.
Classy Infidel says
Francis is of the Biden type, an individual in the stages of senility. He can be easily manipulated by the Vatican corrupt types. Nothing good about the Vatican that has always been into power and money.
concerned aussie crusader says
This pope is a traitorous lowlife. He needs to be replaced, immediately. I will have to sign off before I say what I really think and risk being barred.
Linda Rivera says
The Excessively WICKED pope HATES God. HATES Jesus Christ. HATES Christians. The FALSE PROPHET pope is a MONSTER.
It’s how the EVIL, SATANIST Pope REWARDS Muslims for VANDALIZING and DEFECATING Europe’s churches Every Day.

European Churches: Vandalized, Defecated On, and Torched “Every Day”
by Raymond Ibrahim
April 14, 2019
A German news site, explained, “there is a creeping war against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred statues by the wayside, on churches… and recently also on cemeteries.”
In virtually every instance of church attacks, authorities and media obfuscate the identity of the vandals. In those rare instances when the Muslim (or “migrant”) identity of the destroyers is leaked, the desecraters are then presented as suffering from mental health issues.
“Hardly anyone writes and speaks about the increasing attacks on Christian symbols. There is an eloquent silence in both France and Germany about the scandal of the desecrations and the origin of the perpetrators….
Not a word, not even the slightest hint that could in anyway lead to the suspicion of migrants… It is not the perpetrators who are in danger of being ostracized, but those who dare to associate the desecration of Christian symbols with immigrant imports. They are accused of hatred, hate speech and racism.” — PI News, March 24, 2019

The Bible cleaqrly says you can go straight to G_d through Jesus.

ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION. It is a theocratic ideology of domination, the goal of which is world rule (See al-Qur’an 9.29; 9.33, etc). ALL MUSLIMS ARE MY BLOOD ENEMIES. Pope Francis is a traitor and enemy of Christianity.
Shirley Jordan says
I so agree with you! Apparently, stupidity knows no boundaries.
Andrew says
When a Iman tells his flock to learn about and practice Lent or any other religious tenet in order to join in with their brothers and sisters, only then will I understand why this Pope falls down and kisses the feet of muslims… Im not holding by breath on that one.
