Pope Francis is anti-Israel and anti-Western civilization illustration by Greg Groesch / The Washington Times.

WHOOPS! Sorry folks. Yesterday I began putting the following together and was pulled away from my desk. I hit the “Publish” button for some unknown reason upon returning having never included the article by Mr. Feder that triggered this. Aye, yai, yai!

Okay. I realized my error. This piece is complete now. Please continue…

Yes, I revised the heading once again. To be apropos. He’s just another man. In truth a man serving evil and the world. Not serving God, not serving the God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit of the Jewish and Christian Bible. He’s serving the world’s bible. The world’s philosophies. And where does every single one of those have their origin? If not in God, not in Jesus, not in the Holy Spirit, not to be found in the Holy Bible then where? From whom?

Only one other source, isn’t there?

So, don’t be deceived.

Mr. Feder, the writer of the article below, like almost every single person employed in mainstream media, broadcast media, almost all media — even media deemed to be “Christian media” gravitates to a world explanation for everything rather than a Biblical, spiritual one. Not Mr. Feder’s fault. He’s just another brick placed in the wall in the tower of Babel. Still being erected. Only now worldwide and not in one physical place.

Jorge isn’t anti-Israel because he’s anti-Western civilization — Jorge is anti-Israel because he’s anti-God-of-the-inerrant-infallible-unchangeable-eternal-living-and-active-Word-of-God. Vainly, foolishly imagining his word trumps God’s word. Imagine that? He’s really bought into the delusion that he’s infallible and he’s become Christ’s emissary on earth, hasn’t he? Falling for that lie.

All any person needs to do is go directly to the source. Directly to the Lord Jesus Christ. He and He alone is the Intercessor, the Petitioner before the throne of God to God. No man. Understood?

Poor ‘ol Jorge in his strong delusion doesn’t understand this. Oh, he really does, he really does it’s just that he must keep up the charade to please the master who he serves, which is the god of this world for a season, the devil, because it’s blatantly clear Jorge hasn’t been and isn’t serving God — according to God’s Word.

Sad, isn’t it? But then, we ought not to be surprised as we’re plainly, clearly told in the whole Holy Bible this is how it would be, who would arise, who would have the itching ears of the people tickling them with the lies of Satan, the father of lies.

If anti-Israel? Then you are anti-God, anti-Jesus, Yeshua Hamiashiach, anti-whole-Word-of-God.

Period.

No other explanation is necessary nor is there one that fits. If the evil fits…

And to be against Israel, God’s land, God’s city of Jerusalem — where the Lord of lords, King of kings will one day, sooner rather than later, will take His rightful seat upon the throne of David and rule from there over the world for 1,000 years.

Got that?

Israel isn’t going anywhere. Israel is not the villain. The bad guys and gals. Anyone — ANYONE — that goes against Israel are the bad guys and gals.

Clearly, plainly, period.

Not according to me. According to the God of the Holy Bible, which this minister of Satan, Jorge Mario Bergoglio serves he should win all the top acting honors being handed out for his pious portrayal of a Christ follower. It’s all an act. For if he were truly a godly man he would not bear the bad fruit that he does and has done since becoming the figurehead of the Church of Rome.

Sadly, journalists today who appear to present a better view, a fresher angle, and more in-depth information are still misled. Still can’t get things right. Still adding to the bricks and asphalt being added to the tower of Babel. For they, almost to a one, never ever walk further than the sign directing them off the path of the world and onto the path of the Lord, the narrow path of the Word of God.

But then, few truly are on that path, aren’t they?

What else could we, should we really expect, right?

Yes, one more time…

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Isaiah 5:20

and…

Now the Lord had said to Abram:

Pope Francis is anti-Israel because he’s anti-Western civilization

Sunday, January 5, 2025

By Don Feder

Reprinted from The Washington Times

Pope John Paul II, who helped President Ronald Reagan topple the Soviet Union, will go down in history as the anti-communist pope.

Pope Francis will be remembered as the anti-Israel pope — or, more broadly, the anti-Western pope.

The latest example of the pope’s hostility toward Israel was the creche on display in the Vatican at Christmas.

The pope prayed at the creche, carved on the West Bank, that had the baby Jesus lying on a keffiyeh, the scarf that has become a symbol of the Palestinians’ war on Israel. Berlin authorities have banned its display in schools as a symbol of jihad.

A representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization was on hand to express “deep gratitude for the pope’s unwavering support for the Palestinian cause” — which is the annihilation of Israel.

On Dec. 12, the pope met with Mahmoud Abbas, head of the Palestinian Authority. On an earlier visit to the Vatican, the pontiff called Mr. Abbas — a Holocaust denier whose group subsidizes the killing of Jews — “an angel of peace.”

In his book “Hope Never Disappoints,” Pope Francis said Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip “should be carefully investigated to determine whether it fits the technical definition of genocide.” The pope has never called for an investigation of Hamas and Hezbollah for the thousands of rockets they’ve rained down on Israel’s civilian population.

Israel goes to great lengths to avoid inflicting civilian casualties, while Hamas tries to maximize them by putting its fighters in schools and hospitals.

Hamas is fighting a war of annihilation against the Jewish people. Israel is the home of 46% of the world’s Jews. If it loses the war in Gaza, we’ll be well on our way to a second Holocaust.

But why should Pope Francis care about the fate of Jews in Israel when he doesn’t seem to care about persecuted Christians in Africa or China?

In Africa, Muslims are waging war on the continent’s Christian population. It’s estimated that in Nigeria, jihadis kill a Christian every two hours. Muslim militants are systematically torturing, raping and killing Christians.

The pope is also silent on the persecution of Christians, Buddhists and Muslim Uyghurs in China and Tibet.

The Vatican signed an accord with China that requires the pope to appoint bishops only from a list approved by the regime. Retired Cardinal Joseph Zen of Hong Kong accuses the Vatican of “selling out” the Catholic Church in China.

I don’t think Pope Francis is an antisemite in the classic sense. He is anti-Western and views Israel as an extension of European colonialism. The pope invariably sides with people in developing countries, regardless of whether their cause is just.

Standing near the U.S.-Mexican border in 2016, Pope Francis said that a person who builds walls instead of bridges is “not Christian.” That would make the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and the Mexican drug cartels — which want to maximize the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States — bastions of Christianity.

The pope, who grew up in Peronist Argentina, is unwavering in his opposition to capitalism. He has attacked the global economic system as based on “a god of money” and has called for the “radical rejection” of market economies.

Winston Churchill once remarked: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”

Poverty and injustice are always greatest in nations that have followed the pope’s advice and repudiated the market economy. After six decades of communism, Cuba is importing sugar, which is like Wisconsin importing cheese.

After years of hyperinflation, corruption and misery, the pope’s native Argentina has embraced the free market through its new president, Javier Milei.

Pope Francis has said that while “Marxist ideology is wrong … I have met many Marxists in my life who are good people.”

In Soviet Russia, these good people engineered the famines that killed millions. In China, the Great Leap Forward killed tens of millions, and in Cambodia, 3.3 million died in the killing fields. All are a testament to Marxist benevolence.

The pope’s condemnation of Israel is a natural extension of his anti-Western mindset. The fact that Jews have traditionally been associated with market economies might also color his thinking.

It’s said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The construction crew includes good Marxists and terrorists wronged by Israel.
