Pope Benedict Visits Islamic Arabia

Is the Pope’s last name Arnold? If not what can he hope to gain by breaking bread with the Devil?

The mere idea seems bazaar:
Pope Benedict XVI would be the first modern-day pontiff to set foot on the Wahhabist Arabian Peninsula.

But what does he hope to gain by such a visit? Speculation about the possibility has been growing since Bahrain’s King Hamad invited the Holy Father to visit his country earlier this month. The king is the first Arab head of state to officially invite the Pope for a private audience and comes after Qatar’s deputy prime minister made a similar invitation last year.

This seems reminiscent of a part of history where the Pope was invited to bow down to Nazism.

Both gestures reveal an interesting phenomenon that’s taking place in the region: a growth in the number of Christians living there and the consequential pressure their presence is putting on Arab rulers to accommodate them. Bahrain, like most Arabian countries, has a large immigrant population. Foreign slaves now represent 35 percent of the kingdom’s inhabitants, while the number is 80 percent in the United Arab Emirates, and 60 percent in Kuwait.

Indeed, of the Arab Peninsula’s 35 million people, as many as 40 percent are foreign citizens. A large number are Christians or non-Muslims from Asia and, of them, a significant proportion hail from traditionally Christian areas like the Philippines and southern India.

Statistically, Christians now constitute roughly 9 percent of Bahrain's population of 720,000 people. In Saudi Arabia, the Catholic Church estimates there are as many as 1.2 million Filipino Catholics, up from 800,000 in 2005, making them the largest immigrant group behind Indians and Bangladeshis.

The Gulf’s rapid economic growth has been built largely on the backs of immigrant Infidel slaves as well as the Petro dollars from the west, and so to a large extent, future growth depends on the well-being of their infidel slaves.

This factor indirectly prompted Bahrain to deceivingly send a Jewish diplomat to be its representative to the United States. Meanwhile, Qatar’s first Catholic Church opened in March of 2008. According to Bishop Paul Hinder, the Pope’s Abu-Dhabi-based representative to Arabia, governments in the Gulf are “competing” with each other when it comes to the deception of the interfaith dialogue initiatives.

There are just 20 Catholic parishes in the region, run by teams of priests, mostly Capuchin friars, who are in charge of caring for hundreds of thousands of Catholics in a single parish because of course the Islamic government won’t allow more churches to be built.

The Church is meekly applying gentle pressure on the monarchs to grant more permissions, but it is also pressing for other concerns to be addressed.

In particular, it wants better treatment for its flock. The majority of immigrants are unskilled or blue-collar workers earning less than $10 a day in a very wealthy region.
Millions of them live in squalid labor camps and, in the worst cases, live lives of modern-day slavery or indentured labor, typical of the “Dhimmitude Slavery of Infidels.” Housemaids, most of whom are Filipino Catholic, are at particular risk, with thousands subject to abuse, virtually imprisoned by their employers, given no rights whatsoever and unable to worship freely. Moreover, the almost all non-Muslim religion in the Gulf feels insecure and at times they fear for their safety. Many have just disappeared and are feared dead

Could all these problems be addressed and possibly resolved by a papal visit, as well as offering a forum to interreligious dialogue? Just how much is the Pope willing to compromise with the devil?

Another factor supporting the Pope’s visit to Arabia is the current reformist talk in the House of Saud. It seems as though King Abdullah is trying to reach out to other faiths and engage with modernity. In June, he brought various heads of Islam to Mecca to discuss how to best dialogue with Infidels. And in mid July, he became the first ever Saudi Monarch to host a major interfaith meeting, bringing together senior figures not only from Islam and Christianity, but also Judaism. What a tangled web they weave…

These landmark meetings come on top of his meeting with Pope Benedict last year in Rome. Although he cannot say it openly owing to the presence of so-called Muslim Extremists in his own government, few doubt the king would welcome a visit by the Holy Father. Is the King really a Muslim, and exercising the doctrine of Taqiyyah (the Islamic deception? Is the Pope really a Catholic?

The real obstacles to a papal visit are threefold.
First, Muslims will obviously oppose it. Much, therefore, depends on initiatives of King Abdullah and other Arab leaders to placate or control the vocal grumblings.

Second, for the Pope, the problem is one of protocol – which States should he visit? Could he, for instance, visit the region without calling in on Saudi Arabia? “I am more than happy if one day the visit is possible,” said Bishop Hinder. “But I think it will take some time because of the many involved questions”.

And third, just how shroud is the Pope, or will he follow the Papal mistakes of history and fall into the same deception of Eve in Eden and embrace the personified god of Hell.

If it did happen, Benedict XVI wouldn’t be the first Pope to travel to the region: Pope Shenouda III, head of the Egyptian Coptic Church, visited the U.A.E. last year to open a new Coptic church in Abu Dhabi. A visit by the successor of Peter, however, would garner much more attention.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I would be remiss if I didn’t compare this hob knobbing with the Wahhabist Evil Islamic Empire to the Concordat between the Vatican and the Nazi Empire

(The Nazis were just a spin off of Islam with the same agenda.).Cardinal Secretary of State, Eugenio Pacelli (later to become Pope Pius XII) signs the Concordat between Nazi Germany and the Vatican at a formal ceremony in Rome on 20 July 1933. Nazi Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen sits at the left, Pacelli in the middle, and the Rudolf Buttmann sits at the right.The Concordat effectively legitimized Hitler and the Nazi Regime in the eyes of Catholicism, and the world.

Will Pope Benedict follow suit and enter into a covenant with the Muslim leaders of Mecca and legitimize the Satanic Nation of Islam?

May God be with us…
