Our sufferings today are the prelude of those you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future. I lost my diocese. The physical setting of my apostolate has been occupied by Islamic radicals who want us converted or dead. But my community is still alive. Please, try to understand us. Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here. You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the...

The horrific acts being committed against Christians in Iraq, specifically the insidious shooting and beheading of children, speak to an ancient evil that is a palpable threat to every country, virtue, and living soul on Earth. Historically speaking, such sadism cannot be reasoned with, appeased, or allowed to exist; it must be eradicated without prejudice. For millennia, animals the likes of ISIS - who act on behalf of no God other than insatiable malice - have oppressed, murdered, and raped people from every corner of the globe. This is not political propaganda, it is fact. America, more than most, knows...

More precisely, in one of history’s most famous recitations of the Right of Resistance, the American Declaration of Independence itself says,

A Mississippi abortion doctor who kills babies all day long has once again used GOD to market his business. In an Esquire article posted this week, which highlights the abysmal practices of abortionist Willie Parker, titles the story the Abortion Ministry of Dr. Willie Parker. Excuse me- Abortion Ministry?

I would like to apologize in advance if this post comes off as angry. But I’m angry. I’m angry at all this unfair bloodshed and I’m angry at feeling betrayed by fellow Christians. I’m angry at ignorance. I’m angry at propaganda that shoves misconstrued realities down peoples’ throats.

But I hope that if nothing else, then through this blog post you would at least consider the other side: there are Christians who love Jesus as much as...

The Christian community is escaping to Kirkuk and the relative religious tolerance and safety of the Kurdish zone. Origin During the First Council of Nicea that resulted in the first...
