An Austrian cardinal -- who is one of the frontrunners to be the next pope -- has warned of an "Islamic conquest of Europe," the Telegraph (British) website reports today (September 13, 2016).
Cardinal Christoph Schonborn -- in a speech to mark the 333rd anniversary of the Battle of Vienna -- said: "Will there be an Islamic conquest of Europe? Many Muslims want that and say Europe is at its end."
"God have mercy on Europe and on thy people, who are in danger of forfeiting our Christian heritage," the cardinal prayed.
The speech was made on September 11 at the Holy Name of Mary church festival, which marked the 333rd anniversary of the Battle of Vienna in 1683 in which Christian forces defeated the Ottoman Empire army.
