The Pope has finally noticed that Christians are being persecuted around the world

Pope Warns of Genocide As Persecution Of Christians Rises Worldwide - Breitbart

Taking a minor diversion from proclaiming the Gospel of Climate Change and Anti-Capitalism, the Pope speaks about the persecution Christians face all over the world.

Let's hope the West acts in this face of genocide. But history tells us that the West will stand idly by during the genocide, as they always have in the past.

Were I still Catholic, I would have issues with that guy.

 

[Blackrook]

The Popes have ignored this issue for decades, letting Christians suffer with no one to advocate for them.

And I never hear the priests talk about this issue at Mass.

They should, as should all churches, flip the finger to the IRS and preach politics from the pulpit.

The granting of tax-free status to churches was President Johnson's strategy to silence the churches.

You must sleep through mass!

On Good Friday, Pope decries persecution of Christians

 

[Blackrook]

Well, it's time we Christians up our game. We need to pressure Congress and the administration to do more to help persecuted Christians and other religious minorities who face persecution.

And we welcome the help of people of other faiths, or no faith, to address this horrible situation.

I personally would like to see Jews get involved, since they know about genocide first hand.

If he can ignore pedophiles continuing to run rampant in the Catholic church, other than to say something need to be done about them, then it should be no surprise that nothing will be done about genocide either.

My understanding is the problem is even worse in the Protestant churches, and the story is going to blow wide open at some point in the future. Also the Jewish synagogues, public and private schools, Indian reservations, Boy Scouts, basically pedophiles insinuate into situations where they have authority and contact with children.

 

[Blackrook]

But you have deliberately derailed my thread, which is about Christian persecution.

Please don't derail my thread again.

If you want to talk about the Catholic Church sex scandal, start your own thread, or post to the billion other threads on this topic.

 

[Votto]

My apologies.

It's just hard to take seriously anything that comes out of the Pope's mouth when such issues are basically ignored.

I believe the term is, take the beam out of your own eye before telling others to take the beam out of their own eye.

 

[Blackrook]

My understanding is that the Catholic Church has taken preventive measures to solve the problem. Now stay on topic, or be gone from this thread.

Genocide? What genicide?

Or do you mean hyperbole?

 

[Moonglow]

Ahem, it's just the poor little Christians getting screwed in the world? Or is that all you will recognize?
Call upon thine Lord to save thee..

Another example of Christians being persecuted:

Yes but what does he have to say about Cecil ?

I really don't know anything about Cecil, but I suspect that he was in a "gun free zone", so he got what he deserved.

At least there's one less lion for them to worry about.
Lions and Christians have some bad history.

The Pope is nothing more than a Shepard. A RICH one at that.
