Where is Pope Urban II when you need him?

In a passionate speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095, Pope Urban II issued a call for the First Crusade to liberate Jerusalem from Muslim occupation. “Deus vult!” the cry went up from the assembled crowd. “God wills it!” And Christendom responded.
That was a different era. Today the West is no longer Christendom but a secular civilization in decline and undergoing an accelerating capitulation to Islamic imperialism. Instead of a Pope Urban II rallying the Church Militant in defense of the faith, we are saddled with a pacifist Pope Leo XIV calling for “interfaith dialogue” and “communion” between Christianity and the Islamic ideology that is, both historically and currently, an existential enemy of Western civilization.
The Church Militant, by the way, refers in Catholic theology to those serving as soldiers (from the Latin milites) of God engaged in spiritual warfare against sin and evil in the world – not only internally against our own broken nature but externally against Satan and his evil agents.
Fresh from declaring that Jesus Christ rejects the prayers of those who wage war, in denial not only of thousands of years of righteous Jewish and Christian warriors appealing to God for victory but also of more than 1600 years of Catholic “just war” theory, Pope Leo is currently on a tour of territories whose Christian populations have been either radically reduced or nearly eradicated by Islamic supremacism. His message is one, frankly, of willful ignorance: that Christians and Muslims can live together in peace, and that anyone who says otherwise is ginning up conflict and hatred for reasons of bigotry and/or politics.
“I know that in Europe,” Leo begins in the video clip above,
there are many times fears that are present but oftentimes generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who, maybe from another country or religion another race. In that sense, I would say that we all need work together.
