Indian Cardinal: Face anti-Pope protests with "Christian Courage"
Vatican Asia News ^
Posted on 09/16/2006 1:27:25 PM PDT by HHKrepublican_2
Ranchi (AsiaNews) – The Christian community in India must face Muslim protests against the Pope’s address “with Christian courage and prayer because truth needs no other defence”. This was the thrust of a statement given to AsiaNews by Cardinal Telesphore Toppo, archbishop of Ranchi and president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India.
We publish the text of the statement in full:
“These protests by our Muslim brothers, which started yesterday after Friday prayers, are misplaced as the Pope has not commented on Islam; he only quoted a Byzantine emperor and another great Persian scholar. I have read the text of Benedict XVI, it is an eight-page speech and what has sparked all this is just one quotation extrapolated from the context.

I'd settle for an ounce of his courage.

It's too bad that the Cardinal cannot bear children to teach this bravery. Not a Catholic-bash, a real sentiment. I just hope he can undergird the courage of his spiritual children. Someone has to stand strong among our pantywaist "leaders".

The truth never needs defense. It stands on its own as an eternal revelation.

Prayers for this brave man, Cardinal Telesphore Toppo, archbishop of Ranchi. May God protect him from the evil monsters. St. George, shield him and all Christians and Jews from these devil worshipers.
