When the Muslims were Rioting, Pope Benedict didn't Back Down or Apologize

In 2006, with Muslims firebombing and shooting bullet holes through Christian churches in West Bank, a Italian nun being gunned down in Somali and an Iraqi insurgent group threatening to bomb the Vatican with a suicide attack, Pope Benedict XVI didn't back down.

The pope was being pressured by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, spiritual leader of the world's 200 million Orthodox Christians, to back down. But on Saturday Sept.16, 2006 the Associated Press said:

“Pope Benedict XVI ‘sincerely regrets’ offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam's founder as ‘evil and inhuman,’The Vatican said Saturday. But the statement stopped short of the apology demanded by Islamic leaders around the globe, and anger among Muslims remained intense.”

On Sunday Sept. 17, AP reported that the pope said "he was 'deeply sorry' about the angry reaction to his recent remarks about Islam, which he said came from a text that did not reflect his personal opinion." (Note he said he was sorry about the Islam reaction.)

This pope was doing the same rope-a-dope that Pope John Paul II did on the Nicaraguan communist regime. Remember how the Sandinistas ill treatment of the Pope revealed their true nature to the world. That was the beginning of the end of Russian Marxist expansion in Latin America. The Muslims betrayed their public relation hoax to the world.

Benedict actually wanted to dialogue with Islam, but he wanted an honest dialogue. He hopes, according to George Weigel in God’s Choice, that Muslim reformers can find from their “authoritative text . . . that it is God’s will that we be tolerant of those who have different understandings of God’s will.”

The Soviet Union lost when it tried to kill Pope John Paul II.

One of the secrets of Fatima was that “several entire nations will be annihilated.”The last living Fatima seer before she died, Sister Lucia, said this prophecy was still in the future. Most of the other Fatima predictions have already come to pass.

Be warned Islam and all anti-Christian rioters. God is not mocked. Remember what happened to the Pharaoh and Egypt when he attacked God’s prophet Moses and God's people.

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Mass and the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace.

"Windswept House 2.0: The Next Bernardin? Rachel Mastrogiacomo, Fr. Bertrand and the Satanic Tree"

Is a “Satanic Family Tree” operating within the Catholic Church—a network that desperately needs to be mapped out? The late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin is alleged by “Agnes” from Malachi Martin's Windswept House to have been the "Master of Ceremonies" in her ritualistic abuse.  Rachel Mastrogiacomo has been told that Father Jacob Bertrand played the same role in the crimes against her. What links these violators? Rachel’s own case has convinced her that Windswept House 2.0 is not merely a historical parallel. In her view, it is a reality unfolding before our eyes. The Bernardin Connection In the 1980s, allegations emerged involving Bernardin and fellow bishops Robert Brom and John Roach in connection with sexual assaults against seminarians at Immaculate Heart Seminary in the Diocese of Winona, Minnesota. At least two alleged victims pursued legal action, bringing allegations of abuse involving these churchmen into public view. One victim alleged that the sexual assaults at...
