Pope Francis must have snoozed through Jesus’ instruction to his apostles to be “Wise as serpents” ( Matthew 10:16 ) when preaching the Good News. Otherwise the pope wouldn’t have invited a dozen Syrian Muslims to reside in the Vatican. The group was composed of three families, including six children — appealing now, but some of them may grow into rapefugees, such is the common devolution of the second generation of Muslim immigrants

The pope could have rescued some Middle Eastern Christians who are being genocided out of existence in their homeland of two millennia, but he didn’t. Perhaps the Muslims provided more opportunity for virtue display. But it is disturbing that even the Pope doesn’t care about Christian survival in the place where it all began.

It’s doubtful that the Pope ’s ostentatious do-goodery will last long, however. The Vatican isn’t much of a place to raise kiddies, particularly diverse ones needing instruction from imams, and the selection of cruelly slaughtered halal food is slim to none. Of course, the families may never see the actual inside of the Vatican in this stage-managed media performance. Whatever the logistics, the three families will end up with Italy caring for them after the media has lost interest in the story. At that point, the pope could be considered an illegal alien smuggler, not a good descriptor for a man of his social standing.

Does the pope know that ISIS plans to conquer Rome (meaning the Vatican) by 2020? Providing for the care and feeding of a few Muslim families won’t let him off the hook. And the Islamic defeat of Rome includes a televised beheading of the pope in St. Peter’s Square, just so there won’t be any confusion about who has won. Remember, the conquest of the world and turning it Islamic has been the ultimate goal pursued these last 1400 years, and the hijrah (conquest via immigration) allowed by Merkel’s crazy open-borders just makes the subjugation project much easier.

The Pope is just another political elite selling Europeans out to the barbarians.
