Pope Francis Welcomes an Islamic Europe




It’s hard to believe Pope Francis is this naïve.  He envisions a Europe as a borderless society where Muslim refugees are free to invade and suckle from the welfare state.  He fails to see the inherent dangers of a supremacist ideology that will eventually destroy Christendom and Western Civilization.   Here are his latest inane comments.

Invoking the memory of the EU founding fathers' pursuit of integration in the aftermath of World War II, the pontiff said they inspired because they had "dared to change radically the models" that had led to war.
"Today more than ever, their vision inspires us to build bridges and tear down walls," he told a Vatican audience including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has been at the centre of the EU's attempts to resolve its biggest refugee crisis since the war ended in 1945.
And in a rhetorical flourish with echoes of Martin Luther-King's legendary 'I have a dream' speech, the pope said he dreamed of a new European humanism that embraced the poor, the elderly, the young and the sick.
"I dream of a Europe where being a migrant is not a crime but a summons to greater commitment on behalf of the dignity of every human being," he said.

I hope the Red Pope remembers those words when Muslims turn St. Peter’s Basilica into a mosque.  What a fool!

The Pox Obama



Republicans in the U.S. Senate proposed a plan to cede power to the Obama administration in an attempt to give President Obama more latitude in sequestration cuts.  The Anointed One declined by emphasizing that he’s not a dictator.

Many of us would retort that he basically is a dictator by the very nature of our bureaucratic state.  Congress actually has ceded its responsibilities.  The accumulation of power in the executive began during the Progressive Era through a series of constitutional amendments, bastardized judicial rulings, and the craven cowardice of congressmen.  We’ve come to a point where bureaucrats can churn out 700 pages of new regulations without the approval or oversight of our elected representatives.  Does anyone still believe that this is a representative republic?
The genius of Obama is he puts on the air of a dictator and yet denies he has any responsibility for what is happening in his administration.  Recently, the Department of Homeland Security released thousands of illegal aliens from prison.  Obama and his DHS secretary feigned surprise, and blamed “career bureaucrats,” essentially wiping their hands of this outrage.



 
In some ways Obama reminds of Augustus Caesar.  Augustus publicly stated that he wasn’t a dictator, yet ruled like one:
Augustus, in reality, held as much power as any absolute dictator, but wisely disguised it with traditional names so that the other Roman officials, and particularly senators, would still feel pride in their positions. The Senate was not an elected body; it drew its membership from the Roman aristocratic classes, primarily former magistrates who had served in important administrative posts. To be a senator was a matter of status, not a formal job. Under the republic, the Senate held great authority as the institution that preserved Roman knowledge and tradition and became the dominant force in religion, public policy, and foreign affairs. Senators jealously guarded the power and the wealth that resulted from their role in Roman government.

Augustus resigned the consulship in 23 BC as a gesture to satisfy senators who were anxious to receive consular honors themselves. He rarely held that title again. Augustus instead assumed the powers of a tribune, the republican official who represented the people and had the power to propose or veto legislation. The Romans heaped other honors upon him, including the office of censor, which enabled him to control the membership of the Senate. They also made him pontifex maximus, the head of the state religion, and finally pater patriae or "father of the country." These offices and titles gave Augustus no real additional power, for he already controlled every aspect of religious, civil, and military life.


The Era of Augustus Caesar was called the Pax Romana.  In the United States, the end result of decades of progressivism should be called the Pox Obama.

Is Saint Malachy's Prophesy Upon Us?



This is a complete surprise.  Pope Benedict XVI resigns.  Here is the prophesy:

The Irish prophet Saint Malachy has predicted that the next Pope after Benedict will be the last and he will be “Peter the Roman, who will nourish the sheep in many tribulations; when they are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The end.”
The prophecies of the Irish saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop of Armagh have thrilled and dismayed readers for centuries. He has stated there will be only one more pope after Benedict, and during his reign comes the end of the world.

The prediction in full is "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”

 According to the UK Daily Mail this is what happened hours after the announcement:

Muslims Cast a Covetous Eye on Rome

Here is another Jihadist casting a covetous eye on the West. This time it’s Rome:

Following are excerpts from an address by Egyptian cleric Salem Abu Al-Futouh, which aired on Al-Nas TV on December 30, 2011.

Salem Abu Al-Futouh : The Prophet Muhammad told us that Islam would spread. He told us about the Islamic conquest of Constantinople - Turkey of today - and indeed, it was conquered. He also told us about the conquest of Rome, which is Italy. People find this strange. "How can we conquer Italy?" they say. "We are too weak." You should consider the number of Muslims in that great Christian center - another person converts to Islam every day. Check on the Internet how many people want to convert to Islam in the very heart of that papal center of Christianity, on their own turf.

Brothers and sisters, Islam spread by means of the power of Allah, because it is the religion of Truth. When a Westerner whose heart is not filled with the hatred of Islam, someone who has not been raised on the hatred of Islam, begins to contemplate all the religions, he finds no other religion that respects human rights, and is in keeping with equality, justice, freedom, and democracy.

There is no democracy in America. Don't think that there is. Did you see the demonstrators in Wall Street? By God, they dragged them through the streets. Dragged them! The footage on TV was clear, and blind people could hear it on the radio.

Where is the freedom? Where are the human rights? Where are all those things about which you've given us a head ache? People do not enjoy any human rights in the West. Real rights are provided by Islam.

They keep telling us what they’re going to do. When will we take their word for it?
