Wherever U.S. leadership has helped Islamic jihadis topple secular autocrats in the name of democracy and freedom, indigenous Christian minorities are being forced to convert to Islam or die. Many are accepting death.
Most recently, on August 28 near Aleppo, the Islamic State (IS or ISIS) tortured, mutilated, publicly raped, beheaded and crucified 12 Christians for saying they would never renounce Christ for Muhammad.
The jihadis took one group in front of a large crowd. They cut off the fingertips of a 12-year-old boy, who steadfastly refused to submit to Islam. They severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam. He refused, so they also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion.
According to a Christian leader associated with the martyrs, They were left on their crosses for two days. No one was allowed to remove them. A sign saying infidels was placed next to their crosses.
The other eight Christians, including two women aged 29 and 33, were also ordered to renounce Christ and embrace Islam before a large crowd. They refused:
The Islamic extremists then publicly raped the women, who continued to pray during the ordeal, leading the ISIS militants to beat them all the more furiously.

Not even a word to commend their modern witness. I’d expect that attitude out of the secularist Obama, but the pope???
Come quickly Lord Jesus and your reward with you,
The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church ... praying for mercy and for Christ to restrain the overwheming Evil taking over our world before our eyes !
you mean obama and his voters.

Apparently the UN was too busy yelling at Israel to notice the Syrian human rights violations and crimes against humanity
amen..
Yeah, right global climate change is the real problem. Our morality is in the sewer.
What exactly should we be doing about this? Why is this our fight? There are plenty of people in that area, and running to Europe who could pick up a weapon and fight for their own country.
It is a horrible world. But I am not going to send my children to fight for people who will not figh for themselves.
“Our morality is in the sewer.”
What else could we expect from a despotic obama rainbow cult TV worshiping culture that barely paused chewing gum or bothered to glance up from tweeting their selfies on their smartphones or iPad Facebook apps when the recent Planned Parenthood abomination stories came out, like those about babies having their brains harvested while they were still alive on the table with arms and legs struggling,
Our day of reckoning is approaching and it will be well deserved when it comes,
The rest of the world, including the powers that be in the US, have declared war on Christianity. The Vatican has been thoroughly subverted and corrupted.
The Christians, Jews, and a few other religions are being systematically targeted by the muslims and soulless communist/socialist/athiests of the world.
A real crusade would be good right about now.
Pope Francis has not been silent about the martyrdom of Christians in the Middle East. His statements are numerous.
Pope Francis actions in helping persecuted Christians are insignificant compared with his crusade promoting the fake global warming.
Pope Francis is doing more to help the Muslim demographic invasion of Europe than to rescue the persecuted Christians living in Muslim countries where they are being massacred by the fanatics of the religion of “peace”.
Compare his actions with Pius XII savings the lives of more than 800,000 Jews during the Holocaust at the risk of the Church being obliterated by Hitler who also tried to kidnap him and to put a puppet Pope as the head of the Catholic Church.
My first reply was merely about your words “shameful silence”. Again, the Pope has not been silent. Yes, the greatly slandered Venerable Pope Pius XII did save those Jewish lives during WWII. But it was hidden at the time and only fully known years later. Pius didn’t broadcast his strategy of saving lives from the loon Hitler. Why should Francis broadcast his strategy for the jihadist loons to hear? How do you know for sure Pope Francis isn’t doing anything else besides his statements, to help Middle Eastern Christians? I suggest to you the book “Bergoglio’s List” by Nello Scavo which details all the hidden, covert actions the future Pope Francis took in Argentina during the “Dirty War” to save lives.
The courageous actions of His Holiness Pius XII were not so secret for the Jewish organizations around the world, they were well aware that the Church was the only reliable conduit to help the Jews in disgrace, a fact publicly recognized by all the founding leaders of the State of Israel. H.H. Pius XII did not give refuge in the Vatican and his Summer vacation in Castle Gandolfo just a single Jewish family, but dozens of Jews, among them, Emilio Zola, the chief rabbi of Roma who at the end of the war converted to the Catholic Church adopting as his the given name of Pius XII, Eugene. Also the Gestapo new quite well the Churchs role protecting the Jews. Hitler ordered to prepare a plan to kidnap Pius XII and put as head of the Church a puppet pope loyal to the Nazis.
Pope Francis is in doctrine, moral and intellectual acumen the nemesis of H.H. Pius XII, John Paul II and Benedict XVI.
To understand Pope Bergoglio is necessary to delve into his Peronist and radical left roots.
the leaders of the Marxist liberation theology were elated when Bergoglio was elected as Pope Francis. His first action as Pope was to bring back to the good grace of the Vatican the Marxist movement proscribed by H.H. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and to call Leornardo Boff , the most radical of the Marxist theologians, to help him write Francis Encyclical on the environment.
I do not question that the Jesuit Bergoglio might tried to help the lives of some of the montoneros. That was an armed guerilla and terrorist group identified with the Peronists, some leaders training in Cuba,that were fighting against the Argentina military regime. The montoneros were anti-capitalist populist in which the Perons ideology was intertwined with Marxist praxis that were receiving strong Catholic support from the Movement of Priests for the Third World.
The close relation among the Jesuits and the Marxist terrorists groups in Latin American were patent to the extreme that Evo Morales, the Marxist Bolivian president, proudly gave to Pope Francis a Communist crucifix carved with the hammer and sickle by a Jesuit priest, Luis Espinel that was killed in Bolivia in 1980. Francis came to Bolivia honor his memory,
The Cuban government played a key role in the development of guerrilla Argentina, as part of a broad plan to export revolution throughout the region.
In Cuba were trained several guerrilla leaders. For example, Fernando Abal Medina, the first head of Montoneros, and his partner, Norma Arrostito, Gaby.
All staff of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, FAR, made training courses, both political and military, in the Island. The command montonera work from Cuba.
After the second contingent of terrorist organizations traveled to Cuba to receive instruction, it became more frequent presence on the island of militants of the organization Montoneros, appeared publicly in 1969. (In 1964 the Argentine government announced that 300 troops had been educated Argentines in Cuba.
The Havana Tricontinental Conference of 1966 was held, to coordinate subversion and guerrilla activity on a worldwide basis, to exchange experiences, and to build further on what has already been constructed-meaning- especially Cuba and Vietnam.
As the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset said: "the man is he and his circumstances".
Bergoglio was formed in a Peronist Argentina with all the hatred and envy against United States and free enterprise capitalism enrooted in most of Latin American countries.
In that context you can understand the shameful statement of Pope Francis made before his trip to the Holy Land calling himself proudly to be the Che Guevara of the Palestinian as well as his peregrination to Cuba to express personally to Fidel Castro his admiration and respect for the genocide of the Cuban people.
In Cuba the world could see the king without robes, the real Pope Francis.
Pope Francis expressed his gratitude to Cuba for his contribution to peace and the preservation of the human species in a world saturated by hatred and aggressions.
A Kafkaesque statement more proper from a deviant mind than from the head of the Catholic Church. A Stalinist regime that have murdered an imprisoned more innocent people in the first 6 years of the Cuban revolution than Hitler or Stalin in their first six years, in proportion to their population. In Cuba were trained most of the terrorists involved in bloody wars throughout Latin America trying to impose Cuban satellite regimes in this hemisphere.
Cuban troops fought in Vietnam and Africa as proxies of the Soviet Union and now Cuban troops are fighting in Syria allied with Iranian and Russian troops against U.S. allies.
How Pope Francis can distort history and truth in such a blatant way?
A picture is worth more than thousand words
As stated by Alex Castro, son of Fidel who took the pictures, it seemed like the happy encounter of lifelong friends.
Could you envision Pius XII begging for a meeting with Hitler to express his high esteem and admiration for the Nazi leader?
Francis ask Fidel (Satan), Emeritus international terrorist in chief, to bless and pray for him.
“the shameful statement of Pope Francis made before his trip to the Holy Land calling himself proudly to be the Che Guevara of the Palestinian(s)”
Francis made no such statement. That statement was an opinion given by an Argentinian rabbi of what he (the rabbi) thought the pope would do in the Holy Land.
“Evo Morales, the Marxist Bolivian president, proudly gave to Pope Francis a Communist crucifix, carved with the hammer and sickle”
But the Pope’s face expressed puzzlement and then a recoiling from that particular crucifix. He held it for a few seconds and then gave it back to the Bolivian president instead of turning around and handing it to an assistant as any pope does in accepting a gift. He didn’t accept it! Some accounts have the pope responding to this particular gift with “this is not right”. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words. And so the pope’s facial expression and actions during this awkward exchange really blows out of the water the idea that he is sympathetic to Communists and Socialists.
The idea that the pope smiling while meeting with Fidel Castro expresses some kind of sympathy for the dictator and his so-called revolution is in my opinion quite a stretch and even unfair. I think the pope is trying to use his personal warmth and charisma to convert a mass murderer who is on his last legs. Was this a prudent decision? Maybe not. Also, the pope didn’t want any pictures of this meeting to come out because he didn’t want them used for the propaganda purpose of saying he supports Fidel Castro. But it would seem he would have known that pictures would come out anyways.
Yes, many among the Jewish people and even the Gestapo to a certain degree knew what Pius XII was up to during WWII. But this didn’t become more generally known until after the war. How do you know Francis’ actions in Argentina and the Middle East aren’t much more extensive at this point?
I didn’t like Francis’ “Who am I to judge?” statement. I didn’t like his apparent throwing of Kim Davis under the bus after meeting with her and I am troubled by the ongoing confusion he seems to be permitting at the Synod. But to portray him as some kind of total rupture from the previous popes is to present a caricature of him in my opinion. Abortion, birth control, so-called same sex marriage, gender theory, in-vitro fertilization, he has publicly defended all the church’s controversial, so to speak, moral teachings publicly at this point. I follow everything this pope says and does. And though I have some reservations, to portray him as a Communist/Socialist sympathizer, and almost anti-pope goes WAY too far for me.
Keep talking. Profess your belief. Exactly...profess
I understand that is hard for a faithful Catholic not to be puzzled by the barrage of Popes actions and declarations diluting Catholic doctrine while embracing secular controversial movements to the delight of the enemies of the Church that control most of the media. Behind Franciss façade of ostentatious humility there is a totalitarian mind that is trying to do to the Church what Obama has done for United States.
Rabbi Sergio Bergman, a member of the Argentinean parliament and close friend of Pope Francis said that the pope intends to define himself as the Che Guevera of the Palestinians and support their struggle and rights during his visit.
Rabbi Bergmans commentary was based on his direct and intimates knowledge of Pope Francis plans and that neither the Pope nor the Vatican, repudiated such commentary. To understand why Francis equate himself with Che Guevara you have to understand that for Francis, Che Guevara, as for many Argentinean, South American and Western useful idiots, Che Guevara was the David that humiliated Goliath, the leader and hero of the anti-imperialist struggle of exploited and oppressed peoples of the Third World against the United States.
The ends justifies the means. In Francis conscience, Ches revolutionary goals supersede the fact that el Che was a monster and a coward that in cold blood murdered hundreds innocents Cubans by his own hands and that he was responsible for the death of thousands Cubans, killed thousands of Blacks during Cubas imperialist wars in Africa where Che fought as proxy of Soviet Union, and that Che and Fidel promoted and directed the terrorism that spilled so much blood through Latin America.
In reference to the Evo Morales gift, although the Pope faked some puzzlement at the picture when he received the blasphemous symbol of the priests for the Marxism movement, the Vatican declared that the Pope was informed in advance about the gift and the Pope himself announced that he was keeping the hammer and sickle crucifix and taking it home, saying, I understand this work. For me it wasnt an offense. And Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi . . . reiterated that the Pope personally wasnt offended by Morales gift.
Pope Francis has said before that he doesnt feel offended when is called Marxist since he knows many good people that are Marxist. Probably he had in mind Leonardo Boff, Joan Sobrino, Juan Luis Segundo and all the Marxist theologians, putative fathers of the liberation theology, proscribed by H.H. John Paul II as the spearhead of Communism inside the Catholic Church.
Francis Marxist radical leftist leanings is not speculations. According to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Pope Francis has close ties with liberation theology, the same Discaterio that once condemned the movement. In the 1980s the CDF under then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, attacked liberation theology as borrowing from various currents of Marxist thought and praxis.
By embracing and supporting Marxist liberation theology Francis has renegade the Magisterium of the Church that condemned Communism as the fatal plague which insinuates itself into the very marrow of the human society only to bring about its ruin Pope Leo XIII in his Encyclical on Socialism: Quo Apostolici numeris 1878.
Although Pope Francis usually schedules visiting prisoners when he go to a country, he didnt request to visit the Cuban prisoners of conscience rotting in the Cuban jails, a petition that Cuba will not had denied after all the invaluable services done by Francis in favor of the Stalinist regime.
Even though it was not programmed that Pope Francis would meet Fidel Castro, Francis begged for an encounter at which the Pope expressed publicly his deep respect and admiration for the Cuban tyrant and dozens of pictures were taken by Alex, one of Fidel sons, and published around the world to proof the warm and heartfelt endorsement of the Pope for Cuban regime. Indecorous pictures that the Cuban people will never forget and that exposes to the world the real Pope Bergoglio.
