Don't know about you but in my neck of the woods this was always the ultimate rhetorical question, used in response to someone questioning the obvious. So to the question 'is Hillary Clinton a crook?' you'd answer 'is the Pope a Catholic?' But now such a question is no longer rhetorical, rather one which merits careful consideration. Because Old Red Socks seems to be on a crusade (whoops, must never use that word again!) to undermine everything European, not least the Church of which he's currently CEO.
Full disclosure, I'm a lapsed Catholic since my youth and in fact have been a bitter opponent of organised religion since then. But I do recognise Christianity as a fundamental building block of European civilisation, the dramatic decline of which closely parallels that of Christianity itself. Which is why I see the potential value in the Church Militant and a return to muscular Christianity. Instead we get the currentDope Pope who seems bent on following mainstream Protestantism's path to emasculation and ultimate extinction.
The examples are legion: Working assiduously to import vast numbers of non-Christian invaders to Europe, attacking Trump's idea of a wall, addressing the US Congress without once mentioning Jesus, pushing the Global Warming agenda and showing a general distaste for the whole God business. But he broke new ground recently in a shocking French language interview with Le Croix in which he essentially went over to the Dark Side. “Today, I don’t think that there is a fear of Islam as such but of ISIS and its war of conquest, which is partly(!) [my emphasis] drawn from Islam. It is true that the idea of conquest is inherent in the soul of Islam, however, it is also possible to interpret the objective in Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus sends his disciples to all nations, in terms of the same idea of conquest.”
Yes, he actually equated the Gospel of Matthew with the blood-thirsty exhortations to jihad in the Koran. He also claimed to 'dread' hearing about 'Europe's Christian roots' and went off the deep end entirely by urging Europeans to breed with the invading Muslim hordes in order stem the continent's population decline. These recommendations stunningly resemble those of firebrand Imam Sheikh Muhammad Ayed, who said Muslims should exploit the migrant crisis to breed with Europeans and “conquer their countries.”
It's hard to attribute all of this to naivety. Which in turn raises the question as to whether he's a kind of Manchurian Candidate, another excrescence from Vatican II. No less an authority than the Jewish Forward has published an article with the unequivocal title 'Converts Who Changed The Church'. Interestingly, the 'converts' in question were all Jewish, and most of their activities appeared to be directed towards making the Church 'modern' and Jew-friendly. It's well accepted that Jewish 'converts' Von Hildebrand, Oestrreicher, Gurian and Thieme (there were others) played a central role in driving the revolutionary agenda of Vatican II. We can see the results today whereby the humanitarian weaknesses built into Christianity have been turned against its followers, rendering the Church into just another globalist humanitarian agency, UNESCO with prayers.
I used to derive endless fun from eschatological prophecies (although not so much anymore), not least the Third Secret Of Fatima, which became comedy hall gold. This secret was so terrible that the Pope of the time, on having the it revealed to him was said to have fainted on the spot. How we sophisticates laughed.
For those of you who don't know it, the third Fatima prophecy warns of a satanic infiltration of the Church, all the way to the very top.
Now how do you say “Fuck This Pope” in Latin?
