Of all the horrors we've witnessed from our comfortable homes over the past year nothing hurts more than the attempted annihilation of Christians of the Near East, along with buildings, churches, sacred ruins, precious relics of the past that have been utterly destroyed by the ISIS conquerors. The suffering these people have endured and are enduring is recorded at numerous websites but the world has remained deaf, dumb and blind until recently when with one eye open it had no choice but to acknowledge the specific targeting of Christians. By that time it was too late. Carnage, decapitations, torture, eradication of an entire civilization - who cared so long as Muslims weren't offended?

Now, at long last, after so much suffering, the EU Parliament has published a "joint motion for a resolution" on the "systematic mass murder of religious minorities by the so-called ISIS/Daesh". See text in English.

Meanwhile, efforts go on to help the Christians as the international organization Aid to the Church in Need meets in France for the annual Nuit des témoins (Night of witnesses).

Charlotte d'Ornellas, a reporter for Boulevard Voltaire, reports an interview given by the Melkite Greek Catholic archbishop of Aleppo, Jean-Clément Jeanbart, whose heart was heavy from the suffering of Christians but also from the indifference of the Western media.

And tha's 'bout the top and bottom of it. From Francis all the way on down.

Article is 6 months old but still timely due to current events in Aleppo.

Excellent remarks of media not tell the truth about their plight.
