The following comes from a December 2 Catholic News Agency article:
Four alleged terrorist sympathizers who made internet threats against Pope Francis have been arrested. While Italian authorities described them as “highly dangerous,” they said they did not appear to be involved in any specific plot.
“They were threatening the Pope, celebrating the recent attacks in Paris and threatening the former U.S. ambassador to Kosovo,” said Carmine Esposito, a police chief in the northern Italian city of Brescia.
Their online threats included claims that Francis will be the last Pope.
Police said that the alleged terrorist team was a “highly dangerous group” that “propagated the ideology of jihad through social networks.” The team allegedly has links to jihadists in Syria.
Let us all pray for the Holy Father’s safety in this violent world.
I actually agree with you…. he should call for a crusade
One must understand the goal – to convert or subjugate the World to the Muslim Faith. No exceptions.
1) Muslim Faith is a “political” movement.
2) Understand what is being taught in mosques, related schools, and text books.
3) ISIS (aka ISIL) stands for ISLAMIC STATE.
4) CALIPHATE is: the political-religious state comprising the Muslim community and the lands and peoples under its dominion.

Cont. – – –
5) SHARIA LAW is the basic Islamic legal system derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith.
6) JIHAD is a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty.
7) LYING (Taqiyya and Kitman) to infidels – non-Muslims is acceptable behavior.
And it is barbaric — cutting off people’s hands and feet for stealing among other things. Even the Old Testament forbade such barbarisms as that. An eye for an eye in the Old Testament was actually putting a limit on the much severer punishments that other nations around Israel were practicing.
“One must understand the goal – to convert or subjugate the World to the Muslim Faith. No exceptions.”
Thank you, PETE! Excellent posts!

May the Holy Ghost mercifully enlighten Pope Francis. Global Warming sympathizers are aiding and enabling these very serious worldwide terrorist threats.
The Nonsense of Global Warming – Forbes
https://www.forbes.com/forbes/2008/1006/025.html
The idea that human beings have changed and are changing the basic climate system of the Earth through their industrial activities and burning of fossil fuels–the essence of the Greens’ theory of global warming–has about as much basis in science as Marxism and Freudianism. Global warming, like Marxism, is a political theory of actions, demanding compliance with its rules.

You are citing an article that is 7 years old, written by an historian, NOT by a scientist. Besides, in those intervening years, we have seen 7 of the warmest years on record.
Pope Francis and others have thoroughly debunked the idea that efforts to curb climate change harm the poor. In fact, climate change THREATENS the poor the most. This is why countries vulnerable to more violent storms and rising sea levels like the Philipines have been the most vocal in the effort to curb climate change.
BESIDES which – what does THIS have anything to do with threats to the life of Pope Francis????
Major Embarrassment, Obama’s Choice: Spanish solar energy firm Abengoa facing $29.6 billion bankruptcy
“Fighting climate change is a fool’s errand, and the policies proposed to do so are likely to cost far more lives than they will save. With all due respect to President Obama, climate change is well down the list of threats to peoples’ lives today, while terrorism must rank near the top.” – H. Sterling Burnett

Citing the truth, remains the truth, whether it is seven days old, seven years old or several centuries old. YFC, You profess to have the terribly difficult disorder known as same sex attraction. You still consistently replace reality with fantasy and happy clouds of illusions. We know this because of your many repeated attempts on this website to try to debunk God’s natural law. To suffer with the disorder of same sex attraction is not a sin but it is a sin to publicly call yourself a Fellow Catholic while promoting same sex marriage and same sex unions as being normal.
Catherine, your obsession with homosexuality has nothing to do with global climate change and climate change has nothing to do with jihadist threats against the life of the Holy Father, your rants about “truth” notwithstanding. ClimAte change is the product of about two centuries of industrialization, and an appeal to some centuries old Catholic “Truth” cannot change that. Nor can stale citations by
Politically motivated historians.
If you really want to appear to be knowledgeable on a subject, you don’t quote climate change information from a business magazine.
“If you really want to appear to be knowledgeable on a subject, you don’t quote climate change information from a business magazine.”
The truth IS still the truth whether it is printed in a business magazine or on a bus bench or a graffiti wall. If you want to appear to be faithful, follow the gospel, stop hiding under a rock in anonymity with drive by comments. Let your lamp shine up on the hill so your consistency or inconsistencies will be very easily seen. IOW, if you still choose to hide without some recognized moniker, it IS because you have something to hide.
Catherine, pssst, it’s an editorial. There are no facts or truth in it. It is just someone’s opinion. Someone who is not even addressing theories of climate but just trying to make them look stupid by comparing them to completely unrelated theories.
Now one of the our fellow Catholic “Anonymous” clan is calling oneself “Better?”
“Those who buy in to global warming wish to drastically curb human economic and industrial activities, regardless of the consequences for people, especially the poor. If the theory’s conclusions are accepted and agreed upon, the destructive results will be felt most severely in those states that adhere to the rule of law and will observe restrictions most faithfully. The global warming activists’ target is the U.S. If America is driven to accept crippling restraints on its economy it will rapidly become unable to shoulder its burdens as the world’s sole superpower and ultimate defender of human freedoms. We shall all suffer, however, as progress falters and then ceases and living standards decline.”
Catherine, your well written piece contains, however, a couple of assumptions that may not be fully on target. The science is overwhelming that humans are contributing to the rapid increase in global warming. Remember that only 1 or 2 degrees will result in catastrophe. The folks who are trying to do something about the situation are not calling for an end to the industrial revolution; they simply suggest that we use different, and renewable, energy to do our manufacturing and living. If we would only put solar panels on our houses we would greatly reduce the need for coal to produce electricity. No big deal, really. Same with wind power, building more dams to create energy from water, etc. We can continue to build and grow, but…
Gee Bob One do you quote all democrat talking points. The Globalist Left (people like YFC) want to deindustrialized this nation, and take from the middle class and give to the worlds poor. Sorry not happening with me, not a single dime, The ruling is out to destroy the middle class and make us totally dependent on the government (Yes I do believe that)
PARIS ABOUT GLOBAL CONTROL, NOT GLOBAL-CLIMATE

The only climate change that our shepherds should be paying close attention to is the rapid climate change due to expanding clouds of disobedience within the Church to the Magisterial Teachings. All being done under the banner of pretending to be in, “Full Communion”. If not addressed this will surely lead to the Eternal Warming of many souls.

Brazil’s Temperature Trends & UHI – No One Knows That
By Paul Homewood
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2015/11/22/brazils-temperature-trends-uhi/
So your article is not about global climate change but is about the problems with the data at one location. Really? And what on earth does this have to do with jihadist threats on the life of Francis.
Solar panels will simply make some people rich.
They are very expensive, and do not last long.
And the old panels will be difficult to dispose of – they are not renewable.
Polycrystalline silicon, or multicrystalline silicon (multi-Si) cells are made from cast square ingots—large blocks of molten silicon carefully cooled and solidified.
Given the countless vicious attacks against the Holy Father on this website and others, I think he has more to fear from “Catholics” than from other people.
Each week I am dismayed by “Catholics” who jump on his every word like fanatics, trying to pull down the Vicar of Christ.
Truly distressing.
You are evil. No one on this site has ever promoting MURDER of anyone.
…one can also be one’s own worst enemy, Anonymous. The Holy Father is the Vicar of Christ. Of course Catholics are concerned over his physical safety. And, of course, even more troublesome is the safety of his soul in that he carries a heavy burden as Pope. So speaking out against behavior that is not congruent with holding the office of the papacy can be seen as love, tough love. (What you constitute as trying to pull down the Vicar is rather an effort to pull off the blinders that has the Holy Father saying things that make Catholics fear FOR HIM.)
Telling one what they want to hear or smiling and grinning at that which leads souls to hell is no kindness. What is truly distressing is that many Catholics seem to have fallen for…
…the lie that going along to get along and not speaking clearly against error/ambiguity is being Faithful.
If you are so concerned about the frequency with which Catholics seem to be reacting, perhaps you should look to the stimuli. It’s the Pope’s words or lack thereof, friend.
Thank you, Ann Malley. Beautifully and mercifully conveyed to Anonymous.
This is a strategic attack and affront to The Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Vatican, World Bank partner to launch Year of Mercy with St. Peter’s ‘climate change’ light show
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/vatican-partners-with-world-bank-to-launch-year-of-mercy-with-climate-chang
continued….
…partners with World Bank says it all, Catherine. Kind of goes hand in hand with the Church being equated to a widow who is dependent on others and so has to do whatever she must to get survive because her spouse is dead.
So much is said for all to hear, but nobody has ears anymore.
combined with a lack of knowledge of the Faith on the part of those who are freaking out.
Indeed, Anonymous, your lack of knowledge of the Faith is what makes you equate justifiable concern and countering that which is not Catholic – even when said speech issues forth from one in a position of authority – as being disloyal to the Pope.
Those with Faith and understanding thereof know that speaking out when necessary is precisely how one supports those in authority. We all need to help one another keep to the straight and narrow, Anonymous.
Who said anything about disloyalty?
One can certainly be wrong without being disloyal.
….then you should cease and desist attempting to smear those who lawfully take issue with the Holy Father’s off topic opinions as somehow in the wrong.
These attempts to piggy back climate change on the back of the Pope to legitimize it, or at the very least keep vast numbers of the population from decrying the venture as fraud, are transparent and rather obnoxious.
Who said anything about climate change?
Stop falsely accusing people.
The Pope has been speaking about climate change. Where have you been, Anonymous?
But that was NOT what we were speaking of.
Anonymous, you are the one who stated, “Each week I am dismayed by “Catholics” who jump on his every word like fanatics, trying to pull down the Vicar of Christ.”
Jumping on his every word as you say is the reaction of Catholics who are tired of the Holy Father using his time and energy to speak about things like climate change that are NOT within the realm of his jurisdiction.
In other words, friend, people are listening to what the Pope is actually saying and understanding that he is speaking out of turn when there is plenty of ready business being sidelined and/or ignored.
Perhaps that will take the edge off your dismay.
It is never a crime to be thick as a mud fence…It simply requires a little more challenge with patience.
“But that was NOT what we were speaking of.” = Global Warming sympathizers are aiding and enabling these very serious worldwide terrorist threats.
No I am the onw who wrote combine with a lack of knowledge…
Sorry, I guess not putting a name in the blank causes this kind of problem.
But there was no reference to global warming in that post either.
Some people see a conspiracy in everything.
If you just point out that nobody mentioned global warming or climate change (or whatever it is called and whatever it is) , you are falsely accused not just of being a global warming sympathizer but a worldwide terrorist threat.
I think you just like to say the worst thing you can think of.
May Jesus restore you to grace.
There is ZERO connection between those who believe in science (that is, those who know the climate is changing and is caused by man-made CO2), and terrorism. You sound mighty ridiculous by trying to force a connection.
…not worried about how I ‘sound’ Anonymous. The real concern is to be found in what one actually is and what one advocates. With a increasing number of people convinced they must laud the Emperor’s new clothes or else, well, your assessment says it all.
God bless.
I am positive Anon you would no problem with “tearing down’ the Pope if Benedict was still on the thrown. Francis is a terrible Pope, but the Pope none the less
I love Pope Benedict. And I don’t think Francis is a terrible Pope. God chose him. This is the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Part of the Lord’s plan for salvation. Please try to understand the signs of the times.
God allows certain people to be elected Pope. He doesn’t elect them, Anonymous. Understanding the signs of the times is precisely what folks are doing when they question the particulars of this papacy.
But hey, speaking truthfully is often the greatest of all mercies. So this year could belong to Francis. Out of his own mouth Either way, keep the Faith. That’s what matters.
The arrogance of people passing off their opinions as “truth” makes me cringe.
“Anonymous,” whoever you are– surely you are old enough to know the difference between someone who disagrees with the Holy Father (or with anyone else!) — and a horribly demented, Satanic, EVIL MURDERER!! HOW OLD ARE YOU, ” ANONYMOUS??”
There is no way to properly VET refugees – per our FBI.
The ‘entire’ US immigration system needs to be revised based upon the world-wide situation in 2015 and going forward.
There are approx. 1.2 BILLION Muslims in the World.
Approx 15% – 25% are radicals and support ISIS. About 180 to 300 MILLION are dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilization.
There are over 2.3 Million Muslims in the USA today.

The USCCB’s Catholic Charities (etc) works directly for the Obama Admin in relocating and providing services to MUSLIM refugees in the USA, since they take approx. $63 MILLION each year in Federal Grants. The vast majority of Obama’s refugees are Muslim (less than 1% Christian). Under the “WHITE HOUSE OFFICE of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships” they are NOT permitted to do anything Catholic, and may NOT discriminate based upon religion.

“The light show takes place on the most important Marian feast day for Catholics, the Immaculate Conception, in which Catholics celebrate Mary being conceived in the womb of her mother Anne without the stain of original sin. Mary has always been viewed by Catholics as an archetype of the Church since she carried Christ within her as the first tabernacle and then bore him into the world. The light show will project onto St. Peter’s, a building representative of Mary, images of earth and animals on her most important feast day. It is amounts to a crude dishonoring of Our Lady.”
When then Pope – now Saint John Paul II was shot by the assassin who he later Forgave and who was eventually pardoned by Italy and let go free – His Apparently miraculous survival from such severe wounds – and the Continuation of Apostleship as Pope was the Wonder of the Age and had a huge impact on the Entire World – including the inspiration of so many young people to ‘Pope Up’ and enter Full Communion with the Church.
A correspondent remarked about Mourning the Pope after his passing, and I replied that We Catholics Celebrated His Life – and the astounding Witness he gave to the Truth of Christ unto his last breath.
This Witness was found in his own words, when he said: “pray for my brother [Ağca] … whom I have sincerely…
This Witness was found in his own words, when he said: “pray for my brother [Ağca] … whom I have sincerely forgiven.”
Let Us Pray for the Safety of Pope Francis and All People of Good Will…
And Guard against those who would do Evil, regardless of ‘motivation’
Beautifully expressed! Nice post Mr Mcdermitt
Michael McDermott, I am a still a member of a Diocese that often rejects the teachings that are required to be in “Full Communion”. This is NOT about forgiveness or being in “Full Communion”. This is about Truth. It is about a sincere request for enlightening from the Holy Ghost. Even though the bad influences are quite different…you have shown LESS concern, respect, mercy and love for Pope Francis than you show for others who also might strive for good will while still surrounding themselves with bad influences. It is not enough for you to only garner a Michael McDermott Bingo card for those who are being influenced to join what you clearly refer to as a Conga line.
continued……..
Conga line indeed. Thank you, Catherine, for understanding that being in full communion with the Truth is key. Shared delusions are no safeguard as one cannot be legitimately bound to a lie.
Would that people would ‘Christ’ up and fully join with His Church, not the illusion created by papal positivists.
Pope Francis is surrounded with bad influences. Thats why Pope Benedict XVI is no longer the sitting Pope. No amount of pretending will do. Also, look at the recent family synod. Global warming sympathizers credit climate change for causing terrorism. That is ABSURD! A sincere request to the Holy Ghost for Pope Francis’s enlightenment is a more merciful prayer for his safety than your clever attempt to distract in order to appear more Catholic than others.
Terrorism, Not Climate Change, the Real Threat to Humanity
https://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2015/11/23/terrorism-not-climate-change-real-threat-humanity
“President Barack Obama has repeatedly proclaimed, directly and through proxies in his administration, that climate change is the most important threat facing the security, tranquility, and progress of our nation and the world. For instance, in his commencement address to the Coast Guard Academy in May 2015, Obama said, “no challenge poses a greater threat to our future and future generations than a change in climate.”
“This Witness was found in his own words, when he said: “pray for my brother [Ağca] … whom I have sincerely forgiven.”
Yes, Michael McDermott, St. John Paul II, then Pope John Paul II, did beautifully and mercifully forgive Ağca, but PAY EVEN CLOSER ATTENTION.You might even eventually earn a Wise and Faithful Bingo Card instead of a card that credits your knowledge of disgustingly perverse acts. Pope John Paul II did not then quickly proceed to invite Ağca to counsel him on doctrine and pastoral works with a bevy of other likeminded fellow assassins. This is why we should prayerfully request Pope Francis’s full enlightenment which would protect him from harm.
May God bless and protect our Holy Father, always!
December 7, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – A controversy launched by Vatican Archbishop Rino Fisichella over the possibility of automatic excommunication for those who, the archbishop claims, use words as “physical violence” against the pope, has been answered by well-known canonist Edward Peters.
In a blog post today, Peters says Fisichella “was speaking in the context of faculties to absolve from automatic excommunications, and as there is an automatic excommunication against those who employ physical force against the pope (1983 CIC 1370 § 1), I am guessing that Fisichella might be thinking that ‘harsh language’ against the pope is a canonical crime that makes one liable to excommunication. If so, he is mistaken.”
The weakest defense against lousy leadership is to attempt to silence those well-justified criticisms by claiming it is a “personal threat”. Schoolyard stuff: “meeeaaan-spirited”. “I’m telling Teacher!”
This papacy is increasingly very thin-skinned about criticism, e.g. PF’s many excoriations of “gossip”, and now feeling a need to send out Abp. Fisichella to falsely accuse and threaten loyal Catholics. PF, who has attacked “neurotic priests”, nuns as “old maids” (vitelle), and ideological opponents as self-absorbed Promethean neo-Pelagians, who recently claimed he is “afraid” of Catholics who believe in absolute truth, is increasingly veering out of control. Get to work, Anonymous crowd (12/4/2015, 7:13pm), you…
Get to work, Anonymous crowd (12/4/2015, 7:13pm): this pontiff has set a level for meanness and uncharitable talk not exceeded since the Borgias. (The Borgias were more direct and more honest about their “enemies”: they killed or poisoned them.)
Get thee into hyper-drive defense. Quack, quack!
Steve …Being on the way to being an old maid myself, can you give me the source where the pope said that about nuns?
CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SECOND EDITION
The Church’s ultimate trial
# 675 Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers.574 The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth575 will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.576
