'Catholic'Joy Behar worried a "conservative guy" will succeed Pope Francis

The woke brigade on “The View” is at it again, clutching their pearls over the death of Pope Francis and fretting about the Catholic Church possibly—gasp—veering back to its traditional roots. You know, the Catholic Church kind of roots where killing babies is a sin and Jesus isn't gay.

Joy Behar, never one to miss a chance to flog her progressive dogma, had this to say about the late Pontiff’s passing on Tuesday: “I wonder because there might be a backlash against how good he was and how much humility he had compared to some of the leaders in this world right now, so there might be a backlash to it, and they’ll get some conservative guy in there who, you know, is anti-gay and everything else.”

Pope Francis, the Bishop of Rome and Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church, died Monday morning, according to Vatican camerlengo Cardinal Kevin Farrell. His funeral’s slated for Saturday at 10 a.m. in St. Peter’s Square, where the global elite will no doubt gather to mourn their favorite left-leaning cleric.

Behar’s co-host, the not so Sunny Hostin, chimed in with her own sanctimonious take, pining for a Francis clone to keep the Church on its progressive glide path. She waxed poetic about her personal struggles with Catholicism, citing the Church’s sex scandals and its stance on the LGBTQ+ crowd. 

“I’ve struggled with being a Catholic, but this pope changed things for me,” Hostin said. “I remember I was having this discussion with you, Joy, about how I feel like there’s a crisis of empathy in this country, that unless it happens to you, you can’t feel the empathy of it happening to somebody else. They’re going to deport that person. It’s not going to affect my family, so I don’t care that it’s affecting others.”

Hostin then gushed over a “60 Minutes” interview with Francis, quoting him like he’s the second coming of MLK: “We have to get over our hearts to feel again. We cannot remain indifferent in the face of such human dramas. The globalization of indifference is a very ugly disease.” She tacked on her own predictable two cents, declaring that this “globalization of indifference” is a condition “this country is suffering from.” Cue the violins.

Let’s cut through the sanctimony. Behar and her woke posse on “The View” are terrified that the Church might actually elect a Pope who doesn’t kowtow to their progressive checklist. They loved Francis because he was their guy—a Pontiff who gave a wink and a nod to their agenda while soft-pedaling centuries of doctrine. The thought of a “conservative guy” taking the throne of St. Peter sends them into hysterics, as if orthodoxy is some kind of hate crime. 

Meanwhile, these same champions of “empathy” stay mum about the brutal treatment of gays and women in certain Muslim-majority countries. Funny how their moral outrage has a selective mute button. It reminds me of how the so called rule of law is only legitimate when it comes to applying it to conservatives, but not, for example, to leftist judges who break it.

And then there’s their obsession with open borders, which they dress up as compassion but refuse to square with reality. 

The oxymoronically named Joy and Sunny will lecture you about America’s “crisis of empathy” while ignoring the victims of illegal immigration—folks who’ve paid in blood for the Biden administration’s open-door clusterfrack. They’ll shed crocodile tears for migrants but won’t spare a thought for the citizens murdered, assaulted, or displaced by the chaos their policies enable. 

National security? Rule of law? Those are just inconvenient details to these bleeding hearts. They’re too busy preaching “empathy” to notice the jihadists, drug lords, and human traffickers waltzing through our porous borders when Biden was our alleged POTUS.

The irony is thick. Behar and her ilk cheered Pope Francis for steering the Church toward their woke utopia, where dogma bends to ideology and borders are just lines on a map. Now they’re panicking at the thought of a Pope who might actually believe in, you know, Catholicism. 

Their hypocrisy is as blatant as their blind spots. They demand the Church mirror their politics while ignoring the carnage their ideas unleash. If they want to talk about a “crisis of empathy,” they should look in the mirror, hoping it doesn't crack.

Priests 'cease and desist' at Walter Reed MC ahead of Holy Week: here's a solution

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has ended it's contract to Franciscan Catholic priests and friars at Holy Name College on March 31, a few days prior to Holy Week. You don't have to be a Catholic to figure out that this is the most important time of the year for Catholics and it seems cold and cruel to do this to patients at the facility who look to spiritual intervention at a time when they may feel they need it most.

Priests have been administering to these US military personnel for the past twenty years and their beneficiaries at Walter Reed.

“It is incomprehensible that essential pastoral care is taken away from the sick and the aged when it was so readily available,” Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, the head of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, said in a statement on Good Friday.

The facility will contract with a private organization that claims to fulfill the needs of patients. Does this mean that being the Biden administration's woke Defense Department is the spearhead of the move that patients will now be entertained by Drag Queen dance recitals or story hour?

I have an idea about how this godless situation might get solved, but it would require Pope Francis to grow a set. 

All he would have to do is threaten to excommunicate Joe Biden, and mean it. 

Biden claims to be a good Catholic, in spite of his support of killing babies right up to when they pop out into the world. This would put him in a dilemma, and while he might not change course with keeping priests at Walter Reed, at the very least it would illuminate his hypocrisy and just how secular the left has become.

Of course, this would only work if Biden remembers that he claimed to be a practicing Catholic.

Pro-Abortion Biden not invited to Pope Benedict's funeral as per "wishes of the late Pope"

President Pro-Choice Joe Biden was not invited to the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI but the U.S. ambassador to Italy will be there in his place at the pontiff's burial, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) admitted Wednesday.

Was it because Biden did not mind killing the unborn even up to the point of graduation from the mother's womb, or whether it was because the late pontiff has no patience with chronic liars, we do not know. KJP at least admitted that Biden was not invited and that may be the first time she spoke the truth about her boss since inheriting the press secretary spot she so clearly is not qualified to handle.

“The U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Joe Donnelly, will represent the United States at the funeral of the Pope, in line with the wishes of the late Pope and the Vatican,” KJP said. “This is what — this is what their requests were. This is what their wishes were.”

By "their" KJP means Pope Benedict XVI.

Benedict died on December 31st at the age of 95 after stepping down as pope in 2013, when he was succeeded by socialist Pope Francis. However, Benedict, being the last Catholic pope retained the title of pope emeritus.

The Italian and German delegations were the only nations whose delegations were officially invited, according to Euro News. Vatican spokesman Matteo Burni stated, “If other heads of state or government come, they will do so in a personal capacity.” 

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will attend Pope Benedict’s funeral, as will Queen Sofia of Spain and King Philippe of Belgium. President of Poland Andrzej Duda and President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa will also attend. President Joe Biden will not as he will be elsewhere and tell lies about the things that come out of his mouth.

Jean-Pierre said Biden was an admirer of Benedict, who he met more than a decade ago, but did not agree with his "hands-off" policy with the killing of the unborn.

“So, as the [alleged] President said in his statement, as I’m sure you saw, he joins [actual] Catholics and so many others around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI,” Jean-Pierre said. “He will always remember the Pope’s generosity and meaningful conversation they had when he visited the Vatican in 2011.”

Biden’s support for supporting the killing of the unborn and even the recently born has pissed off Catholics and other decent people who believe in the sanctity of life. It really pissed off Catholics when, in September 2021 when the barely sentient Biden bashed the U.S. Supreme Court for declining to stay a Texas law effectively banning most abortions after six weeks, and last year, after the high court struck down Roe v. Wade. In fact, if it were up to Joe, abortion clinics would be like Burger King where mothers could have it their way when it comes to terminating the life inside them.

Biden was so not Catholic that in October 2019, he was denied holy communion at a South Carolina Catholic church by Fr. Robert Morey, the pastor of St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence. Fr. Morey said he refused allowing Biden to partake in the Body of Christ because “any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching.”

“Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that,” Morey stated, adding, “As a priest, it is my responsibility to minister to those souls entrusted to my care, and I must do so even in the most difficult situations. I will keep Mr. Biden in my prayers.”

Claiming Biden to be a man of faith, KJP said, “[L]ook, you know, the President, as you know, he takes his faith very seriously, excluding the part about the babies,” she lied to reporters. “This is someone who is passionate about some parts of his faith. That’s not something I even need to tell you; you know this for yourself [if you follow MSNBC or CNN].”

Anyone who believes Joe Biden takes his faith seriously probably believes that Biden challenged Corn Pop, graduated top of his law school class, drove an 18-wheeler, had a son who died in Iraq, is Jewish and never told a lie.

Abortion advocate, Pelosi, receives Holy Communion [aka body of Christ] in Vatican

House Speaker Nancy "Hands of Fury" Pelosi met with Pope Francis on Wednesday, just days after advocating for the killing of the unborn, and remarkably, the pontiff allowed her to receive Communion during a papal Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, according to witnesses.

The hypocrite sinner attended morning Mass for the feasts of St. Peter and St. Paul while the Pope bestowed the woolen pallium stole on newly consecrated archbishops who follow the doctrines of the Church and acknowledge that life begins at conception, and therefore Nancy Pelosi should not be permitted to receive Communion as she has no problem killing babies in the wombs of their mothers, or even a short time thereafter.

Pelosi was seated on her 82-year-old butt in a VIP diplomatic section of the basilica and received Communion along with the rest of the congregants, according to two people who witnessed the moment. Why Francis permitted her to receive the body of Christ in spite of the Church being extremely clear on abortion is beyond the pale. Perhaps she gave a hefty donation or perhaps Francis, who holds his own woke views, is also okay with what Planned Parenthood pretends to do only 3% of the time they see pregnant mothers.

Pelosi’s home archbishop, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, actually follows Church doctrine that prohibits abortion and said he will no longer allow Pelosi to receive Communion in his archdiocese.

Cordileone said Pelosi must either repudiate her support for abortion or stop speaking publicly of her Catholic faith because she is not a practicing Catholic. 

Pelosi refused and put her political ambitions ahead of her afterlife ambitions. 

Making matters worse, Pelosi has called the recent Supreme Court ruling removing constitutional protections for abortion an “outrageous and heart-wrenching” decision that fulfills the Republican Party’s “dark and extreme goal of ripping away women’s right to make their own reproductive health decisions.”

So not killing the unborn is "outrageous and heart-wrenching." Allowing them to live is "dark and extreme." What a twisted way to see things.

While Francis presided over the Mass, he did not distribute Communion himself and Pelosi received the sacrament from one of the many priests who distributed it. From the time he was archbishop in Buenos Aires, Francis has rarely distributed Communion, precisely to prevent the sacrament from becoming politicized.

As far as Archbishop Cordileone and the Catholic Church are concerned, Pelosi can go to hell, if she doesn't change her ways.

The problem is, Democrats who are most upset over the SCOTUS ruling with Roe v. Wade see the issue of abortion as a religious one, just like they view hedonistic wokeness part of their religion. And the fact that the Pope allows Pelosi and even Biden, both Catholics, to receive Holy Communion, takes the holiness right out of it.

Perhaps that's the plan all along.

Pope Francis okay with pro-abortion Biden; not okay with pro-life Trump

Joe flashes his pearly white dentures
as the Pope flips him the wrong finger

No matter what you think of President Donald Trump's personality, his narcissism, his straightforward brashness, his counter-punching anyone who messes with him, at least he doesn't pretend to be a religious person and then advocate late stage abortion. Trump is pro-life and that should be all you would need to know about him as the leader of the free world, compared to a fraud, who may be taking over as U.S. President, Joseph Robinette Biden. [Yes, that's his real middle name.] 

Biden has no problem calling himself a Catholic while advocating for abortion on demand and late-term abortion. He has been denied holy communion over this issue in the past, but Pope Francis, the political pope, would rather see Biden as POTUS than Trump.

Francis congratulated Democratic nominee Joe Biden for his still unconfirmed electoral victory on Thursday, and Biden flashed his Joker smile and said he intends to work with the pope on climate change, poverty and immigration--all issues the pope is expert at solving based on his knowledge of "the science," economics and immigration issues that he gained in the seminary and at his socialist birth place, Argentina.

Biden thanked the pope for “extending blessings and kudos for beating the pro-life President Trump, but the results of the election are in dispute and evidence is coming out every day showing how there were improprieties and fraud which is being challenged. However, Biden told Francis that he appreciated his sentiments and his not paying attention to the abortion thingy, and he remembered to add that he extolled the pope for his  “leadership in promoting peace, reconciliation, and the common bonds of humanity around the world.”

Francis is among several European mucky-mucks who have dismissed the ongoing election fraud investigation and reached out to the mentally withering Biden to affirm his self-declared victory, despite the absence of it being official as yet.

Other leaders who have congratulated Biden included British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, all of whom never liked Trump and would like to see a mentally inferior U.S. President in his place.

Pope Francis is the first pope to support those who support baby killing and may be the first to support socialism.

Even the Roman Catholic bishop of Knoxville, Tennessee urged Biden to change his stance on abortion but the President un-elect basically flipped him off.

Bishop Stika tweeted:

“A question for Mr. Biden. At your judgement before God, how will you explain changing your position about abortion and how will you explain promoting no limits and allowing all protections removed protecting the most innocent?”

“Will you tell God you supported the ultimate child abuse because of the [American] Constitution?” Stika added. “I wonder what God must have asked many leaders throughout the centuries? Government over human rights and the taking of innocent lives. Many Catholics will need to answer this the first of many questions about the poor, the starving etc.”

Pope Francis evidently believes that Trump's border wall is not Christian, but killing babies in the womb is okay as long as you don't see it happening.

Pope goes "all boycott" over companies that aren't woke

Woke Pope Francis, the Vicar of Jesus Christ, has gone all-out political Saturday as he urged his flock to boycott companies by not investing in them if they are not doing what the Pope wants them to do, which is to protect the environment

The Woke Bishop of Rome spoke in a video message for an online event called “Countdown Global Launch, A Call to Action on Climate Change.”

“Science tells us, every day with more precision, that we need to act urgently ... if we are to have any hope of avoiding radical and catastrophic climate change,” the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles said in a foreign language.

The Primate of Italy listed three action points: better education about the environment, sustainable agriculture and access to clean water, and a transition away from fossil fuels. And if companies didn't want to go along with the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, they can go to hell.

“One way to encourage this change," the Servant of the Servants of God said, "is to lead companies towards the urgent need to commit to the integral care of our common home, excluding from investments companies that do not meet (these) parameters ... and rewarding those that (do).”

The Sovereign of the State of Vatican City said the pandemic had made the need to address the climate crisis and related social problems even more pressing.

“The current economic system is unsustainable. We are faced with a moral imperative ... to rethink many things,” the Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province said, listing means of production, waste, consumerism, indifference to the poor, and harmful energy sources.

Other Marxists and Far Left activists at the online event included the traitor [Hanoi] Jane Fonda, Britain’s Prince William, former U.S. Vice-President and fake documentarian Al Gore, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, none of whom are experts on climate change.

C'mon, man. You know you want to follow Brain Flushings--it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.

Pope demands Baltic states open to mass migration

A big, beautiful wall

Socialist Pope Francis has demanded the tiny Baltic states open their borders to mass migration Saturday as a way of keeping them from flooding the Vatican. He didn't actually say it that way, but hey, he isn't offering his own place for them to lay their weary heads.

Meanwhile, Estonia said it supports Viktor Orbán regarding the need to seal European borders against the civilization jihad influx. Estonia didn't actually say it that way, but hey, isn't that what this really is? Look at what happened in Germany.

The Pope continues to pontificate [which is where the word comes from--you know, the Pontiff] that "Christ himself asks us to welcome our brother and sister migrants and refugees with arms wide open." But the Pope [bless his socialist heart] seems to ignore the fact that resistance to an influx of mass Muslim migration has nothing to do with being "racist" or "xenophobic."

It is a resistance to the hijrah [or jihad by emigration].

When the Vatican looks like this, then the Pope
will lead by example

When Estonian Interior Minister Andres Anvelt was asked whether their tiny 1.3 million people favors a "Hungarian approach to immigration," with regards to keeping illegal aliens out with border fences, he  said "yes," and explained the reason is "To defend our country, certainly."

So while Pope Francis has the audacity to demand the country open up to mass migration, Anvelt didn't bow to the pressure of a person who preaches but doesn't practice. Anvelt said the border fences put in place by Hungary has slashed illegal immigration by over 99 percent and was protecting the continent, saying that asylum-seekers with no right to be in Europe must be kept out.

"I fully support [proposals asserting] that we have to address this problem outside the EU," Anvelt said in a TV interview. "We have to travel to third countries and start defending our border there, yes, and in defending our European values, start establishing refugee camps as well."

When Pope Francis allows illegal aliens from Islamic countries to obtain asylum in the Vatican, then we can take him seriously.

But seriously, this Pope is a flaming socialist and has also done nothing until this point to stop or punish sexual misconduct among his clergy.

Pope's latest advice may indicate a drug problem

Back in the 60s and 70s dudes in tie-dyed shirts were "tripping out" and saying crazy stuff like, "Hey maaaan, listen to the sound of yellow when it collides with magenta, man. Like wow." They drove Volkswagen Beetles or VW minivans, all of them painted with rainbows and flower stickers with bumper stickers that said stuff like: "I brake for hallucinations."

We've come such a long way that it seems even Pope Francis has gotten into the act. 

Aside from socialism and its 'fair share' garbage thinking, the pope believes in climate change, Al Gore's honesty and weight-loss program, and he believes that he can hear the Earth cry. 

What's he smoking?

On Wednesday Pope Francis called upon world leaders to "listen to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor, who suffer most because of the unbalanced ecology."

In truth, the poor suffer mostly because of situations like one-parent families, pregnancy before marriage, a welfare system that encourages stagnation, lack of accountability for our teachers due to unions protecting them, a global sense of entitlement, and blaming others for their situations. And these are just starters.

In other words, the poor are poor because of the bad decisions they have made. If that wasn't the case, there would be no success stories coming out of the ghettos.

The pope and Patriarch Bartholomew I, head of the Orthodox Christian Church, will issue a joint statement to commemorate "World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation," on Friday. 

People all over the world will pray for the Earth to heal--millions upon millions of hands will be folded in prayer. But two hands actually working can get more done than a hundred hands praying.

It isn't that praying in itself is a wasteful endeavor; it's that along with prayer must come action. In fact, action should come first, followed, perhaps, with prayer for success of that action.

In 2015, the Pope designated September 1st as "a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation." He was referring to our need to preserve the environment as a moral responsibility for all people. He didn't ask his flock to pray for the environment, but to get off their collective butts and do something to assure its survival.

Bartholomew, who backed Francis' 2015 encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si said: 

"There has never been so much turmoil on our planet, but there has never been greater opportunity for communication, cooperation and dialogue. Basic human rights such as access to water, clean air and sufficient food should be available to everyone without distinction or discrimination. We are convinced that we cannot separate our concern for human dignity, human rights or social justice from the concern for ecological preservation and sustainability."

I know of no cases where such things as water, food or clean air have been denied to anyone in our great country. To imply such a thing is itself, racist.

The Paris accord was a farce--nothing more than a "gentlemen's agreement," a handshake of sorts, not to pollute, and a way to give poor countries money that they didn't need to spend for years in the future. 

The Paris accord was drawn up on the bones of socialism whereby rich countries supply the money for the poorer countries to spend, in many cases, as they wish, and not be obligated for years to do something for the environment. 

The pope's agenda is clear and no different than the unrealistic Obama ideology.

Pope: 2017 will be good and Kumbaya

Vatican City -- Pope Francis spoke to his flock for New Year's Sunday. He said that 2017 will be a good year if people do good and reject hatred, rather than doing bad and embracing hatred. He prayed for those who courageously deal with terrorism gripping the world in "fear and bewilderment."

According to Vocabulary.com, bewilderment is "a state of being confused and puzzled. Bewilderment means not understanding, but it goes beyond that--it implies a state of complete mystification. People experience bewilderment when they are utterly baffled by the situation at hand."

This should definitely concern us to think that the spiritual leader of 1.2 billion Catholics has no clue about what's behind the terrorism in the world. 

I mean, gee, the terrorist are screaming "Allahu Akbar" which means, in Arabic, "Allah is greatest" when they blow themselves up, or start shooting, or drive a truck into a crowd of people. They're willing to die for their beliefs. 

I can't imagine what that's all about, but if it walks like Islam and prays like Islam, it's probably Islam.

"The new year will be good on the measure in which each of us, with the help of God, tries to do good, day by day, that's how peace is created," the pontiff told a crowd of 50,000 pilgrims, tourists and Romans gathered in St. Peter's Square for his noon blessing and New Year's Day remarks.

It will also be good if Islamic terrorism could be eliminated from the earth. "Saying 'no' to hate and violence" sounds noble, but it's not going to stop Islamic extremists from killing you--in fact, they're going to laugh when they see your impotent method of retaliation. 

Saying no to violence and hate is not going to stop violence and hate because Islamic extremists don't see what they are doing as anything more than their religious duty.

Francis also said that humility and tenderness are signs of strength, not weakness.

Yes, they are signs of character strength, but they're sure as hell going to get you killed in the face of terrorism. 

"Unfortunately, violence has struck even on this night of well-wishes and hope," he said, referring to the Istanbul nightclub attack Sunday that left 39 dead and dozens wounded by a terrorist dressed as Santa Claus. 

"In sorrow, I express my closeness to the Turkish people, I pray for the numerous victims and wounded, and for all the nations in mourning," he said. He prayed that God will sustain "all men of goodwill who courageously roll up their sleeves to deal with the plague of terrorism and this bloodstain which is gripping the world in a shadow of fear and bewilderment."

Bewilderment?

Have a safe and happy new year.

Pope tells American Catholics how to vote

Pope Francis, a secret socialist and Hillary Clinton fan, urged American Catholics who don't know which candidate they hate the most, to pray before they vote their conscience. 

The pontiff was asked by reporters how he would counsel the American faithful who have to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. He said that he would never interfere in an election campaign, saying "the people are sovereign," but if you voted for Hillary, "I wouldn't complain."

"I'll just say this: Study the proposals well, pray, and choose in conscience." He prefaced his words by saying he was talking about a "fictional situation," adding that the U.S. was among the countries that have lost their culture of politics.

Pretending not to be political himself, the pope said, "When in any country there are two, three or four candidates who don't satisfy everyone, it means that perhaps the political life of that country has become too politicized and that it does not have much political culture."

Pope Francis went on to defend his secret political stance saying: "People say 'I'm from this party' or 'I'm from that party,' but effectively, they don't have clear thoughts about the basics, about proposals."

He was referring to mystical politics, mystical thoughts that only a pope or Hillary Clinton could comprehend. 

But while pretending to be apolitical, when he was returning to to Vatican after visiting the U.S.-Mexican border and asked about Trump's plan to build a wall to keep Mexicans out of the U.S., the pope said that anyone who builds a wall isn't Christian.

It made atheist Hillary Clinton smile.

Trump's knee-jerk reaction was to fire back immediately. He said (rightfully, I believe) that for any religious leader who question's someone's faith is "disgraceful." 

Many Catholics are having a hard time deciding which candidate to vote for: Hillary Clinton who would abort a child as late as her "Sweet Sixteen" if the mother wanted to, or Donald Trump who used to feel the same way about abortion and had a recent revelation as a GOPer.

Pope urges a "sincere dialogue" between Christians and Muslims

The Vatican -- Pope Francis called for a "sincere dialogue" between Christians and Muslims and supposedly wasn't kidding--popes rarely make public jokes as such so we have to take His Holiness at his word.

He said this as he met grieving family members and survivors of France's Bastille Day attack. That was the one in which a truck driver plowed into a crowd trying to kill as many Christians as possible.

The pope believes a good heart-to-heart will help clear things up between the two religions.

In a surprising move, the pope also denounced violence this week in the name of religion, saying "there is no God of war." He met with 180 infidels who were wounded or left traumatized or in mourning since the July 14th attack that killed 86 innocent lives.

"We need to start a sincere dialogue and have fraternal relations between everybody, especially those who believe in a sole God who is merciful," he said as seriously as he could, without breaking into a smile, adding that this was "an urgent priority."

Pope Francis told the infidels, "It is with a feeling of great emotion that I am meeting with you, those who are suffering in body and in spirit because an evening of festivity turned into one of violence which struck blindly at all, without taking into account their origins or religion," he said,  speaking from a position of ignorance.

"We can only respond to the Devil's attacks with God's works which are forgiveness, love and respect for the other, even if they are different," he said, obviously never having actually read the Koran, Sira, Haditha or "Reliance of the Traveller."

Had he read any Islamic scripture, the pontiff would know that Islam calls for jihad, calls for such acts of violence by the believers and wouldn't sound like he has no idea what he's talking about.

Rather than calling upon the Christian community to have a "sincere dialogue" with the Muslim community, the pope should be calling for the Muslim community to stop killing people they believe are Christian so that they can have that dialogue.

Dead people make lousy dialoguers.

Someone claims that Islam is a religion of peace

Bangladesh President Md Abdul Hamid said that "Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion."

This horrible "misinterpretation" has gone viral throughout the globe, it seems. So many misunderstanders of Islam are not acting in a very peaceful manner and nobody, not any government, not even Hamid's very own government, is doing anything about it.

We need more people like Hamid, Barack Hussein Obama, George W. Bush, John Kerry and even Pope Francis to show the rest of us who may think Islam is the leading cause of global terrorism, why we've got it all wrong.

Hamid is urging us to just remain calm and alert. "Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion," he said during a reception marking the Holy Eid-ul-Azha at Bangabhaban on Tuesday. That is the second largest religious festival for Muslims.

"No religion support militancy and terrorism . . . the main message of all religions is to ensure the welfare of people," he said, having made no connection in to all that is written in the Koran calling for terrorism and fighting infidels.

France jihadist attack: priest's throat slit, killers shout "Allahu Akbar"

Tuesday, July 26, 2016 -- The Islamic State has claimed the life of a Catholic priest in the Normandy city of Rouen. Two Muslim men shouting "Allahu Akbar" ("allah is great") slit the throat of 86-year-old priest Jacques Hamel, of the Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray parish church.

The seige began at morning mass and lasted over an hour.

The killers forced Fr. Hamel to kneel before they slaughtered him, and they were then shot and killed (too quickly) by police. The terrorists video taped their horrific act, according to a nun who escaped the attack.

ISIS' Amaq news agency reported the attack was carried out by two Islamic State "soldiers,' Reuters reported. Another person, possibly a nun, is in critical condition in hospital.

French President Francois Hollande said, "We must fight this war by all means, while respecting the rule of law--what makes us a democracy."

According to French sources, the church was on a "hit list" which was discovered when a would-be ISIS attacker, Sid Ghlam, was arrested. Ghlam, a 24-year-old Algerian student, was believed to be planning "imminent attacks" in France. When they arrested him last year on suspicion of murdering a mother of one, they discovered an arsenal of weapons. He had been planning to attack a church in Villejuif.

Apparently, Ghalm was communicating with a Syrian scumcrumpet who had ordered him to strike specific churches, including Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray. But, like his brother jihadists in Gitmo, he was put back out on the street.

One of the jihadists was on police radar and had traveled to Turkey, according to Mohammed Karabila, president of the Regional Council of the Muslim Faith for Haute-Normandie.

"The person that did this odious act is known, and he has been followed by the police for at least a year and a half," Karabila told the Associated Press. When the attacker had gone to Turkey security services were alerted after that point.

French prosecutors said one person had been detained in connection with the attack, but that person wasn't named nor any role in the attack revealed.

Vatican spokesperson Greg Burke said that Pope Francis was "shocked" especially because the attack "happened in a house of worship." Burke added that the Pope was "praying for the victims of the attack," which is very helpful.

France is on high alert since the Nice attack on Bastille Day, July 14th. That jihad killed 84 infidels and injured hundreds more.

One witness of the attack, Sister Danielle, told French TV: "They forced him [Fr. Hamel] to his knees. He wanted to defend himself and that's when the tragedy happened."

"They recorded themselves," she said. "They did a sort of sermon around the altar, in Arabic. It's a horror." 

While President Hollande vowed to fight the ISIS terrorists "using all means possible," American President Obama condemned the attack in the strongest possible words anyone who speaks English could imagine. Then he drew a yellow line in the sand and crossed it.

The jihadist known to police had been jailed prior to this attack for attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS. He was recently released back to the community where he was tagged with an electronic monitor and place on a terror watch list, for all the good that did to protect the citizens of France.

Pope insists almost all pedophiles should be punished

Vatican City -- Pope Francis says that pedophiles who abuse children need to be severely punished, except when they do it in the name of religion. Specifically, he was referring to Islam, where it's typical for older men, say around 52, to marry girls as young as, say, 6, like Muhammad did with Aisha.

Speaking to his flock in St. Peter's Square, he greeted an organization dedicated to fighting child abuse except for the Islamic variety.

The Pope called pedophilia a "tragedy," rather than an outrageous crime. He said that "we mustn't tolerate abuses on minors," and added "we must defend minors and severely punish the abusers," except not child bride marriages in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and you get the gist. 

Francis didn't mention the Catholic church scandals as well as those committed by Muslims. 

Catholic priests who had committed such crimes were merely transferred to different parishes by their bishops in order to avoid reporting it to the authorities. Victims' groups want the Pope to punish those bishops, but that's as likely to happen as Hillary Clinton getting what she deserves.

Recently, a 6-year-old child in Naples was thrown from the roof of an 8-story dwelling after trying to resist her rapist. Autopsy showed a long history of sexual abuse and investigators believe the neighbors knew about the abuse but didn't go to the police.

Shades of Kitty Genovese.

But the Pope still says nothing about the abuse Christians face in Islamic countries and how little girls and women are raped by Muslim men, and some turned into sex slaves.

Boo-Hoo Boehner's Biting Words

John "Man Tan" Boehner, the former House speaker, finally got involved with the presidential campaigning by speaking out against Ted Cruz while blowing kisses to Donald Trump. Boehner went after Cruz referring to him as "Lucifer in the flesh" and a "miserable son of a bitch."

Boehner reportedly doesn't even know Ted Cruz's mother and probably should not have used that term as it offends mothers everywhere this close to Mother's Day.

But Boehner is never one to mince words or emotions. Like when he cried when meeting Pope Francis in Washington D.C. "What a day," Boehner said. "What a moment for our country . . . the Holy Father's visit is surely a blessing for all of us." Sniff, sniff.

Or when he cried in an interview with Golf Channel saying, "I want to make sure that every kid had the same chances that I did."

Or when he cried at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' resignation ceremony in 2012. 

Or when he cried when Nancy Pelosi handed him the House gavel in 2011.

Or when he cried at the Ohio State University commencement address in June 2011.

But Boehner has put away the tears and has gotten off the tanning bed to once again get involved in politics. I missed him so much, it brought tears to my eyes.

Boehner said that he's played golf with Donald Trump and said that he and the Donald are "texting buddies." He added that while Ohio Gov. John "Karate Chop" Kasich "requires more effort," he says they are friends "and I love him."

He and Kasich are planning to adopt after the campaign "once JK settles down."

Boehner said "I have Democratic friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life," he told the Stanford Daily.

While not endorsing Trump [or gay marriage] Boehner said he would vote for him, but not Cruz. He would rather have a lying felon incompetent woman or socialist in the White House than that guy with the world's most "punchable face."

Cruz fired back on Twitter: "Tell me again who will stand up to Washington? Trump, who's Boehner's 'texting and golfing buddy,' or Carly & me?

Cruz also said that he "never worked" with Boehner implying that Boehner is as honest as his perennial tan. "Boehner's comments reveal everything that is wrong with Washington," Cruz said.

Paul Ryan, Boo-Hoo Boehner's successor, said that he doesn't share the same views about Cruz.

Calling someone "Lucifer" is like calling everyone you don't like "Hitler." It doesn't ring true and it dilutes the truth as to the evil of the two.

But if Boehner wants to act like a damn Hitler, that's his business.

BTW: Please excuse the spelling typo of Boehner's name in the original posting--it shows up on Flipboard and cannot be deleted and corrected once it's posted.

Pope tries to Trump the Donald

In US colleges, this hat is racist

I believe that Pope Francis ought to speak less about politics and more about Jesus. If he wants to go all out Catholic, he can discuss the Virgin Mary and the confraternity version of the New Testament. But Donald Trump's faith? He doesn't know the Donald.

I am not advocating for any GOPer at this time, and I have certain reservations about Trump, but the more liberals and socialists such as the Pope speak about him, the more attractive as president he becomes.

Why isn't the pontiff discussing the fact that Obama is not attending the Catholic funeral of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia? That is a fact, unless he changes his mind due to the public's disgust. 

But Pope Francis would rather speak from a position of conjecture than fact.

I don't know if Donald Trump is a "true Christian," because I cannot know what's in his heart and mind, even though he appears to speak his mind. And the Pope doesn't know either.

The fact that Trump wants to keep illegal immigrants out of the country by building a wall, does not translate into his not being a Christian. In fact, if it keeps Islamic State jihadists out, that would protect Christians (and Jews) from people coming into the country via Mexico.

But Pope Francis' visit to Mexico has apparently influenced his rhetoric.

Stop the balderdash. Be a Pope!

Obama addresses the UN as Putin shivers in his Cossack boots

After schooling the pope this week on what real Christianity is all about, Barack Hussein Obama went on to school the United Nations General Assembly about the threat of terrorism in the world.

Of course, for the most part, he was preaching to the choir, as there are 57 Islamic nations in the UN, and they are all quite familiar, as is Obama, with the Koran and its bellicose writings.

Nevertheless, Obama appealed for global cooperation in dealing with terrorism and gave his negotiating position on Syria before Vladimir Putin got his shot at the podium.

Obama, being careful not to use the words Islamic or jihadist, warned the UN of the "dangerous currents" threatening the modern world. He cited "brutal networks of terror" [not Islamic networks of terror, mind you] that have filled the vacuum in fragile states which have created a refugee crisis of "epic scale" proportions [which, of course, had nothing to do with his failure to get involved].

Obama, always the gentle kitten, urged the nations of the world against imposing order "by force," [that's the job of ISIS].

"If we cannot work together collectively, [a la Karl Marx] we will all suffer the consequences." the socialist leader said, implying that Russia ought to ease up and relax.

Obama said the US is willing to work with Iran and Russia to resolve the Syrian civil war but added that the world cannot see a "return to the pre-war status quo" in Syria. 

"Let's remember how this started," Obama told the Alzheimer afflicted UN delegates. "[Bashar] Assad reacted to peaceful protests by escalating repression and killing."

But that's kind of what dictators do when being threatened at the loss of power.

Putin, however, spoke and said that he supported the Assad government because it is only that chinless lisping leader who is fighting against terrorists. [He too forgot that they are Islamic jihadists and do not see beheadings, immolation, and stonings as terrorism, but acts of religious duty.]

Obama and Putin are planning to speak off mic at the annual gathering of world leaders.

Mecca's death toll doesn't break the record

The death toll is now up to 717 and at least 863 others were injured in an attempt to walk around a pagan stone known as the Hajj, located in the Muslim so-called holy city of Mecca. The estimated crowd of stone worshipers is about 2 million. 

If you thought the "Pet Rock" was a big deal, this tops it by far.

The stone-walking thing marks the start of the Eid al-Adha holiday which signifies a break in other aspects of Islamic stoning and Sharia related atrocities.

According to Reuters, Saudi state television reported the stampede happened in Mina, a tent city located about 3 miles east of Mecca, just a stone's throw from the hajj.

Mina is on the main road from Mecca near the Hill of Arafat, thought by Muslims to be the place where Mohammed, the so-called prophet of Islam and pedophile, gave his farewell sermon to his army who accompanied him from the killing, robbing and slave-sex orgies, to go to Mecca near the end of his life.

About 2 weeks ago, a tragedy struck in Mecca as Muslims put head to earth, butt to sky, as they prayed to Allah. In answer to their prayers, a crane fell into the mosque killing 111 of the devout, injuring scores of others. 

According to Islamic "experts," all are now in Paradise because they died praying to the moon god, Allah.

Back to the hajj.

Many of those who died in the crush were trampled to death as they were on their way to practice throwing stones at imaginary Sharia violators. Not really--the stone throwing, while it does help develop better aim, is actually a symbolic stoning of the devil (who looks Jewish, I bet) and the objects are aimed at 3 stone columns in Mina.

Two survivors told the AP the disaster started when one wave of crazed Muslims found themselves heading into a mass of other crazed Muslims heading in another direction.

"I saw someone trip over someone in a wheelchair and several people tripping over him. People were climbing over one another just to breathe," one survivor said. "It was like a wave. You go forward and suddenly you go back."

Saudi King Salman, the guy who appears to be going for the Saudi Arabian beheading record this year, ordered the creation of a committee to look into the matter.

Major General Mansour al-Turki, the Interior ministry's spokesman, blamed it on global warming and pilgrim fatigue. He said there was no evidence that authorities were to blame for the event. 

President Barack Obama is expected to praise him for his assessment as al-Turki is in lockstep with "mainstream science."

Another survivor, call him Ismail, 58, from Nigeria, recalled falling and then being trampled over by marching Muslims. "It was terrible, it was really, really terrible," he said, not adding that it had made him question his belief in Islam as doing so would have undoubtedly made the trampling job look like kids play.

At least 89 Iranians died in the trampling and 150 were injured, none of whom were known nuclear device scientists.

Ironically, perhaps, no Egyptians died and Alex Jones is claiming that this was because it was an "inside job."

Be that as it may, this year was not even close to the record that happened in 1990, when 1426 of the faithful were trampled or suffocated in an Islamic stampede that happened in a pedestrian tunnel leading to the "holy" site. 

Other attempts at the record were in 2004 with 244 killed, and in 2006 with 364 dead. But the Saudis say it isn't their fault. 

So should we blame Allah or Mohammad? You make the call.

Meanwhile, back in New York, Pope Francis came to town.

To ensure no harm came to the pontiff via crazy fanatics or Islamic orthodox folks, the NY Police Department (NYPD) had the town tied tighter than Hillary's tush. There were no incidents, no attempts at harming the pope and nobody got crushed by the Christians who came to see him. Definitely not as exciting as Mecca.

Pope Francis met with so-called president Obama and gave the cold shoulder to the Obama buddies who believe it's okay to kill babies in the womb and halfway out.

Obama administration compares him to the pope

President Obama was called "The First Gay President," and "The First Black President" and now "The Pope-like President." Of course, it isn't the public saying that, although I suspect there are some progressive liberals who think he can walk on water and part the seas (himself among the crowd), but it is his administration making this absurd claim.

The Washington Examiner discussed how both Pope Francis and President Barack Hussein Obama have "both dedicated their lives to helping the less fortunate . . . " and both have "talked, quite publicly, about their commitment to social justice.," said White House mouthpiece, Josh "Notso" Earnest, who added, "And both men have dedicated not just their careers, but their lives, to that effort."

In his emetic, sycophantic way, Earnest spoke about how the so-called president refused high-paying jobs when he graduated from law school in order to spread his ideology into Chicago's poor South side, and how the Pope is known for advocating for poor communities in Argentina as he ascended in the Church ranks.

And you can see all the good Obama has done for the South side of Chicago as the latest developments show in the Chicago Tribune. 

Socialism is an interesting intellectual exercise but it has done nothing good for the poor--EVER.

Earnest went on to say: "And you know, the president actually worked quite closely with other Catholics in that community, and the president has talked about that quite a bit . . . this has been a value that has animated the president's career choices since he was a young man."

Comparing Obama to the pope is not very different from his 2008 speech where he claimed that by electing him that "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal . . . " and the moment the U.S. would restore its image as the last bastion of hope.

He probably called that lie "Hope a dope."

Obama believes he is better than the pope because he has more power than the pontiff. Obama, by his inaction, has been able to take an entire nation, the one-time world's most respected nation, and run it into the ground. Name one country that honestly respects us and prove this statement wrong.

Obama believes he is better than the pope because he isn't encumbered by religion. He is neither a Christian nor a Muslim, but is a progressive who will be whatever religion suits his ideology.

Obama believes he is better than the pope because arrogance and narcissism are blind to reality.

Unholy Science and His Holiness

It's one thing to love God and be the earthly representative of a religion. But it's another thing to use that position, a position of immense power, to speak with false authority about a subject that you know as much about as an average 4 year old knows about string theory.

C'mon, your Holiness, who do you think you are, Barack Obama?

Why do you waste the influence of your position to speak about global warming, real or not, rather than dealing with the clear and present danger that Christians throughout the world are facing today with Islamic jihad? It's a no-brainer.

Instead, you meet with Abbas, a Palestinian hater of Israel, and pretend that he's a man of peace.

I don't mean any disrespect, but I think your priorities are as misplaced as your trust.

Stick with religion; it's your strength, not science or politics. And please keep away from American politics. Socialism doesn't work for long. As Margaret Thatcher said, "you eventually run out of other people's money."

Peace.
