I would say their "prophets" need to lay off the opium.

 

[Dominus Fidelis]

We better pay attention. Its far fetched now, but what happens when they are the majority of the population in Europe?

 

[stone]

The religion of peace ey?

I don't have any nice words for them tares, i mean guys.

 

[Epiphanygirl]

Prayers for our Papa while here in the United States, may he remain safe so that he may attend to the flock

 

[Reader Antonius]

18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

 

[Davidnic]

I just read this in th news. Europe is abandoning it's Catholic roots in many places. Sadly, the thought of this in the future, is...statistically, not impossible.

I don't think it will happen the way this cleric views it, but population trends and Catholic apathy might do the job that crackpots want violence to accomplish.

Rome is not simply the capital of Catholics. It is the premier see of Christendom, and it is one of the world's holiest cities. Islam may have conquered Jerusalem, but it has failed to hold it; it may have conquered Alexandria, but the See of St. Mark survives still. Rather then indulge in fantasies about what will not be, this cleric should ponder why so many of his young people are so consumed with hate that they act in violation of their own religion.

Peace,

Anglian

Amen. And our prayers to those in the See of St. Mark. Those who suffer for the love of Christ and have carried many burdens in the name of love.

May they be preserved by the Love of Christ and all the great saints we don't see in the west. St. Mina, St. Bishoy, St. Simon the Tanner and St. Mark. May the great friendship between Peter and Mark remind Catholics to always pray for our brothers and sisters in Egypt, who have suffered greatly for their faith...yet remain strong in it. If the Lord sends us trial, may we persevere in His love as they have.

 

[Romans 13:3]

I suspect any take over Europe will be by one extremist practicing pair of parents at a time. I think we would do well to focus on helping those of the EU re-join their faith rather than focus against Islam.

That said, I do keep several thousand rounds of ammunition in the house.

We preach the Gospel to them.

Bet this is related to Jimmy Carter's trip to visit with Hamas last week. Carter gave them standing and enboldened them. Hamas is probably feeling confident it has plenty of allies in the USA after seeing the publicity earlier this month about Barack Obama's church publishing its manifesto.

Praise be to the Eternal Trinity, unto the ages of ages!

Well said.

Halleluyah!

Dear Davidnic,

Your kind and generous words about the See of St. Mark are a healing balm. Long have we held to the Faith once received, and the way the Muslims have treated the Copts gives the lie to their claim that they just want equal tolerance.

The reason some Muslims take the view they do of Pope Benedict and Rome is that they see where the true centre of resistance to their evil is. Long may the Holy See act as a beacon to the world.

In Christ,

Anglian

I fully expect the antichrist to come from the Islamic faith.
