“John Kerry claims to be a Catholic. This is the perfect example. He landed in Abuja. The American Embassy is in Abuja. There is a cardinal in Abuja, and a very visible cardinal for that matter, but it doesn’t cross the mind of John Kerry to even see out of courtesy the cardinal. He takes another plane to Sokoto and goes to the palace of the sultan, the head of the Muslims. The reaction of the Nigerian Christian community was very interesting. They thought Kerry was pushing the Islamic agenda. This was ahead of the elections, and they thought he was giving the Muslim candidate a leg up.”
They were right. He was. The Obama administration never missed an opportunity to advance the Islamic agenda.
“Bishop: Western politicians damage African Christianity by ‘pandering’ to Islam,” Catholic News Service, October 13, 2017:

A Nigerian bishop said the Catholic Church in his country is beginning to lose its public influence partly because of the decline of religious faith in the West.
Bishop Matthew Kukah of Sokoto accused European and American politicians and diplomats of publicly “pandering” to Islam at the expense of Christianity.
The result, he said, was the ascendancy of Islam and evangelical Christianity in Nigeria and the decline of Catholicism.
He told Catholic News Service in an interview in Liverpool that the widespread loss of Christian faith in the West was “absolutely” among the causes of the diminishing influence of the Catholic Church in his own country.
“From my own experience, I find that the British high commissioner, the ambassadors from European countries, the American ambassador — they are pandering more to Islam than to Christianity, because most of them have turned their backs on Christianity,” Bishop Kukah said.
“The Arab world is pouring money into Nigeria and the Pentecostal pastors in America are doing the same, and the Catholic Church is now becoming the weakest in terms of access to resources,” he said.
“For me, as a bishop of the Catholic Church, I can see very clearly that our influence in the public space is gradually reducing, and that is largely because of our capacity to mobilize resources,” he said.
It had become no longer possible, he said, for the bishops to appeal to historically Catholic nations for financial help with church projects.
“We can’t go to the Irish ambassador or the Spanish ambassador and say, ‘This is (needed) for the Catholic Church,’” Bishop Kukah said. “People are not interested.”
“In Ramadan, the ambassadors of Islamic countries are very keen to come to the Muslim celebrations in a way and manner that the Irish or any of these ambassadors are not likely to do for (Christmas) midnight Mass or the Easter celebrations.”
He said that, in his experience, most Catholic ambassadors would prefer to be seen publicly at a Muslim celebration than attending a Christian ceremony.
“Before our election, John Kerry came to Nigeria,” he said. “John Kerry, when he was secretary of state, left the U.S. and came straight to see the sultan of Sokoto. It was a visit that nobody could explain.
“John Kerry claims to be a Catholic. This is the perfect example. He landed in Abuja. The American Embassy is in Abuja. There is a cardinal in Abuja, and a very visible cardinal for that matter, but it doesn’t cross the mind of John Kerry to even see out of courtesy the cardinal. He takes another plane to Sokoto and goes to the palace of the sultan, the head of the Muslims,” he said.
“The reaction of the Nigerian Christian community was very interesting. They thought Kerry was pushing the Islamic agenda,” Bishop Kukah said. “This was ahead of the elections, and they thought he was giving the Muslim candidate a leg up.”
“In a country like Nigeria, influence is peddled, and we are not there at the table,” the bishop continued, adding: “We have not trained our people for roles in public life … we are still very shy of the public space, and we are not aware of how much things have moved on.”…

The roman catholic church has sold out to islam, it can no longer be trusted. It is time for true Catholic leadership to rise from a Catholic nation, Poland being a very good candidate. western catholics are too eager to follow the judas goat of contemporary crislam to the hell it came from. It is regrettable, but everything eventually wears out, the version of catholicism that is being sold today is defiantly due for replacement.

Check out churchmilitant.com . I am catholic though despair at the message since Pope Benedict. Do not however write Catholicism off. After all it is the only divinely ordained faith in the world. ALL others are man made. The homosexualists have wrought havoc and an authentic catholic message is becoming increasingly hard to find. Is it any wonder that the diabolical would target the church Jesus instituted?

Wasting time on trivialities like recreational sex is never going to accomplish anything. It is necessary to return to pre-crislam with true Christianity being practiced.

I just wonder how this will be viewed by the left. I wonder if the bishop will be called “racist”. It does not seem possible but then the leftard mind does not use logic as we know it.

Whatever person or movement is anti-Christ, Islam being only one of many, is gleefully embraced by the Far Left and its loony stooges.

In every moment of his presidency, Obama planned and worked for the downfall of the United States.. The insidious nature of what he was doing is becoming quite clear, now with new details coming out, all the time. What silly, foolish naive, people we were to elect criminals to govern us. Drain the swamp-Right! Drain the cesspool…

Perhaps this would be a good time for certain Americans and Canadians to reflect upon that mans statement, who he was and where he came from, what his role was and remains when some constantly denounce the UK and Europe generally as being “finished” and all the other things.
Treason both cultural and political comes under it’s own flag, usually sewn into the one people look up to.

In this country the Catholic Church has been on the decline for both internal and external reasons. One of the external reasons has been the class-action suits for allegations of sexual abuse of altar boys by priests, to pay for which has contributed to the closure of many Catholic schools and parishes. (The same ones harping on that, couldn’t have cared less about young boys being molested by powerful Hollywood execs and piled on Corey Feldman for blowing the whistle on that, in the days before Weinstein’s various crimes came to light.) Internally, there’s the likes of open-borders enthusiast Timothy Cardinal Dolan, for starters.

The way they hustled Pope Benedict out of there and replaced him with this Dhimmi Pope was startling and foretold that the Marxist element in the Church had taken over…..they lost all credibility when they did that.

It stands to reason. During the Paris Peace Talks to end the Vietnam War, Kerry twice met with the enemy North Vietnamese delegation while still a member of the officer corps of the US Naval Reserve, an act defined as treason.

The same commies that he met helped him into and out of the military and into office , a reward for denouncing America . The same commies that helped the Whore go to Hanoi , and fueled the ‘free speech’ movement with help from Americans such as the whore’s husband , Tom Hayden .
The clintoon also met with them , while a student at Oxford .

The Vatican run RC corporation is as corrupt as any! It is and always has been Emperor worship, rather than Jesus/God worship! Not to disparage sincere Catholics, but they do follow their leaders, and have always generally voted Dem-Left, proabortion, socialism, etc… which all are in contrast to teachings in The Word! Until the followers of RC have their eyes open to the truth of their erroneous “faith”, they will continue being deceived and used of the Devil himself!! Sadly, much which we refer to as Christendom, is falling into the deception written about concerning “the Last Days”!

Under America’s muslim President Barack Hussein Obama’s guidance, Democrats and RINOS in Washington not only worked daily to destroy the constitutional republic of America, but they traveled the world spreading deadly plagues of the leftist agenda.
Many of Obama’s destructive policies and foot soldiers remain in place wrecking havoc today.

That SWAMP was a lot deeper than many knew….it actually descends through 4 to 5 decades….. Carter,the Bushs, and Clintons kept it alive until the Muslim Marxist Obama came along and jump started this whole mess…..if all the White people who voted for him were so afraid of being called “racists” if they didn’t vote for him……how do you like being called Islamic Dhimmis by the rest of us now?

What many may not know…..one of Kerry’s daughter’s is married to a Muslim from the Middle East…..they have children. There was some talk that this man she married has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood……just like Killary’s Huma -“companion/secretary”- is the daughter of one of the the leadership the Muslim Brotherhood. Explains a lot when Kerry was Sec of State…..

Most do not realize because of brainwashing that Roman Catholicism is not Christianity but a religion created by taking Christianity then twisting it by adding paganism to it! All the religions of the world today are pagan cults not worth time, money or effort with Islam being the most violent most of the time because of Arab sharia jihad which translates to Arab law of holy war!

Let me be frank about this!! The pope is an a**hole. His view of the world is demented and based on socialism and ignorance.
If he loves terrorists so much, he should invite them to live with him.
He also needs to stop trying to change the religious mores we have been brought up to respect.
