ON CHRISTIANITY, THE POPE, ISLAMIC TERRORISM AND ISIS.
Today I received two mailings attesting to the extreme brutality being visited on Christians in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq by Islamic terrorists and Isis, and on Jews by "Palestinian worshipers" in Jerusalem. One is from the lay press. One is from "Religious Freedom Coalition" sited in Washington D.C. And one is an article in this week's National Catholic Register:
"Pope, US Bishops Lament Deadly Egyptian Mosque Attack".
News Flash:
When told that the Pope objected to his deadly actions, Stalin asked: "How many divisions does the Pope have?"
When Pope Pius Xll mounted prolonged actions with other world leaders against Adolph Hitler, those were not only "laments".
When Pope Saint John Paul ll cooperated closely with President Reagan during the entire 1980's in the destruction of the Soviet Union, those were not only "laments".
And now Pope Francis not only laments; he directly attacks the President of the U.S.A. - the only person who is leading effective attacks against Islamic Terrorists and against Isis. Not prudent. Not even Christian in Christianity's responsibility to protect Christians and Jews worldwide. This Pope should be helping to marshal many divisions from America and from "Christian Europe" in this century's battle to the death with Evil.
The World Awaits, Your Holiness.
