The United Nations has declared February 4th to be the ‘International Day of Human Fraternity’. The date was chosen because it is the date when Pope Francis and the Grand Imam signed that document about how much God approves of there being lots of religions.

{Pope Francis has also just announced that there will be a year dedicated to Amoris Laetitia, starting on the Feast of St Joseph 2021 and ending on June 26th, 2022 – rather a long year. I am afraid this is intended to be a flushing-out and mopping-up of orthodox opposition. However, magna est veritas, and consequently, praevalebit.}

A blessed Feast of St Thomas Becket to all our readers south of the Border.

The ‘Higher Committee of Human Fraternity’ sounds like something that Robert Hugh Benson might have made up, but apparently it is real.  They have commissioned an ‘Abrahamic Family House’ in Abu Dhabi, to consist of a mosque, a church and a synagogue. It is inspired by the recent Abu Dhabi declaration signed by Pope Bergoglio and the Imam, and it aims to evoke “the values shared between Judaism, Christianity and Islam“.

As well as the mosque, church and synagogue, there will also be “a fourth space, not affiliated with any specific religion”, which will serve for the worship of the antichrist, be an educational centre where all people can come together as a single community devoted to mutual understanding and peace.
