In the Vatican there is a huge mural.

It shows a famous Polish general who prevailed against the Islamists long ago at the gates of Vienna. He was decorated the day after September 11, when the battle was fought and won, Christians against Islam. It prevented Europe from going the way of Constantinople.

They have long memories, it is said that Osama decided on that date for revenge.

For now that is, but that could all change.

I believe his name was Jan Sobanski, King Jan if I am correct.

Absolutely. I was in such shock when I saw it, I still have a digital photo of it.

Once in a while you like to see a great leader having a great influence while the scales of history are being tilted, and that was one such moment.

Churchillian before Churchill.

I agree, but what are we to think when the bishop of Rome says otherwise?

I will fight to my last breath before I allow some savage to saw my head off.

Does that include rejecting Christ? The Church was built on the blood of martyrs. God willing, you will not be confronted with this dilemma. Should it happen though, as it has with others over the Millenia, how will you respond when asked to renounce Jesus Christ?

My point was that the article seems promote or glorify Christians submissively going to their deaths. I’m not sure how my decision to fight those that would kill me due to my faith would entail rejecting Christ.

The death of martyrs always brings about a growth in the number of Catholics.

God bless these 21 people and their families.

Please check out the Cristero movement and the martyrdom of people like Blessed Miguel Augustin Pro.
