Pope Minimizes Islamic Violence While Bad-Mouthing Catholicism

As he was on his way to Rome from Poland a few days ago, the pope attempted a white-wash of Islamic violence that was not only insipid on its face, but downright slanderous to the Catholic faith.  He said, "if I speak of Islamic violence I must also speak of Catholic violence".  Really?  When did Catholics, in pursuit of their creed, engage in barbarous acts such as:

• beheadings of babies
• wide-scale rape and murder of women
• shooting up night clubs
• murderous rampages along the lines of San Bernardino, Nice, etc
• bombings such as the Boston Marathon incident
• et cetera, et cetera

Have there ever been criminals who are Catholics?  Yes.  But no one pretends that these criminals committed their crimes in obedience to the Teachings of Jesus Christ.

The Muslims, however, do carry out their crimes in the name of their murderous creed.  The pope's denial of that plain fact is so insipid that the muslims themselves hold him and his prattlings in contempt.  I will say this for these muslims; at least they are honest about what their religion teaches.  They hold the pope in contempt for his obvious attempt to appease him.  Frankly I understand how they do so and indeed the pope's pandering does make him appear to be a simpering fool as his mealy-mouthed whitewash is unworthy of a Vicar of Christ.  When these thugs say that their violence is mandated by their koran, they are correct.

Both Cardinals Burke and Sarah spoke words of wisdom as I pointed out in my blog post regarding the pope's plane trip to Poland.

Intolerance Of God-Defying Progressives

As I reported two days ago, the Diocese of Charlotte has expressed its support of Sister Jane Dominic Laurel when the latter taught the teaching of the Church at a Catholic high school in Charlotte.  The parents went ballistic and a meeting was held.  One line from the LifesiteNews article was quite telling of the mentality (or lack thereof) of those who sinfully dissent from Church teaching.

The Diocese of Charlotte’s newspaper, the Catholic News-Herald, reported that the meeting was acrimonious, with those who dared to speak out in support of Sr. Laurel or the Church being shouted down by an angry mob.

The term "angry mob" accurately described those who opposed Church teaching.  Now remember - these are parents who are publicly opposing the proclamation of truth.  They are in open dissent from the Church (at least in belief if not actual life) and by their opposition, are providing scandalous examples to their own children, thus imperiling their children's salvation.  (We must pray for them for they are putting their own immortal souls in grave peril).

They are screeching, of course, because of their own guilty consciences.  They cannot stand the truth so they try to shout it down - literally in this case.

Some times they try to mow it down with their cars, bringing me to this next topic.  In Maryland, we've seen these "coexist" bumper strips everywhere - particularly in the looney bin called Montgomery County.  Hear from this college pro-life leader how he learned just what these progressives mean by "coexist" and "tolerance".

How's This For Tolerance And Inclusion And Diversity??
