Ultra-Quickies: Possible Papal Perfidy?

     If the following article is factual, how on Earth could Catholics continue to regard Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio, better known these days as Pope Francis, as a true spiritual leader and legitimate successor to the Throne of Saint Peter?

     Pope Francis has compared Jesus Christ to the leader of an Islamic terrorist death cult and suggested Christian missionaries have a lot in common with members of ISIS, during a wide-ranging and shocking interview in which he also openly promoted socialism and ordered European women to “breed” with Muslim migrants in order to counter “declining birth rates.”...

     The Pope also admitted he does not enjoy learning about European history and he “dreads” hearing about the “Christian roots of Europe” because, in his opinion, the history of Europe has “colonialist overtones.”

     It was at this point in the interview that Pope Francis called on European women to “integrate” Muslim migrants into their populations by breeding with them and countering the “declining birth rate” that he blames on the selfishness of white people. [Emphasis added by FWP]

     “This integration is all the more necessary today since, as a result of a selfish search for well-being, Europe is experiencing the grave problem of a declining birth rate,” he stated. “A demographic emptiness is developing.”

     However, in the original article in La Croix, there is no statement that the pope made an explicit recommendation to European women to breed with Muslim migrants. The above-cited news article is the first mention I’ve seen of such an emission from the pope. I want to see a confirmation, if one exists. If there is one, I believe that would be enough reason to demand the pope’s removal and swift replacement. But if there is no such confirmation, I must regard the claim as a falsehood inserted to stir up additional unrest and dissension among Catholics and other Christians.
