The crescent moon is a sign of the Blessed Virgin. It sits under her feet.
And there are images of her with a serpent under her feet too.
Yes, I'm sure this is why Francis picked the symbol for his trip to the Muslim countries.
poche, you become ridiculouser and ridiculouser with each post.
This symbol is obviously an attempt to present a syncretistic blending of Christianity and Islam. Take this together with his recent statements about God having willed all (false) religions, and it's clear where he's going with it. And one cannot fail to notice that the cross is inside the crescent ... as if to suggest Christianity being inside of and absorbed by Islam.
Not to mention that this symbol also bears an eerie resemblance to the old Soviet hammer and sickle. And everyone knows that Jorge Bergoglio is a Communist (probably their agent in the papacy). Just take the top portion of the cross off, put a handle on one end of the crescent, and you've got it. In fact, take the top part of the cross and move it over to the end of the crescent, and it's the Communist symbol. In fact, it's already leaning that way, so you just have to move it a little bit.
