what a tremendous witness that would be if some of the most senior and pious elders stood shoulder to shoulder with the Iraqi Christians ! Will Pope Francis or this cardinal do it ?
Hell, no he won't.
I’d volunteer to be on that plane if they asked me. I would not however want my Pope on that plane. I don’t see that he has told the Iraqi Christians to stay there. If there is a direct quote from a credible source I would like to see it. Plus, the Pope is a lot more than just a human being. As shown with St. JP, he’s a target.
