Thanks for all the detailed input and your encouragement.
Fr Sharbul travels to Lebanon regularly, and has started a middle east, christian sattelite network. I see the Pope’s adress to the Maronite’s as a signal. The Pope is acknowledging a coming war with Islam. The immigration of Muslims to Europe, the fall of Constantinople, and the move by Muslims to take over Bosnia, are all precursers to the need for a modern day Crusade. Not to prostelatise, but rather defend.
