I'm impressed; at least one bishop, and in a very dangerous part of the world, is acting like a believer.

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.

I posted the following on another forum, in response to a misguided conspiracy theorist who thinks the Catholic Church and the Mohammadans are going to gang up against all the other Christians, since they both "honor Mary."

Ever hear of Lepanto and the Siege of Vienna? The spirit of those heroes is still alive amongst Catholics. It's the same spirit of the Cristeros and the Carlists during the Spanish civil war. Even if the hierarchy goes PC, we will not forget our duty to the Catholic Church's consistent teachings over the centuries. We have to defend the remnants of Christendom.

I'll add hear on FR that if it means following in the footsteps of the first Franciscan martyrs, Blessed Miguel Pro and the Cristero Martyrs, and all the others who have died for the Catholic faith, so be it.

Sorry to be the one to tell him but truth won't hold up against those demonic Koranimals. I will pray and I will have courage, as long as I've got them in the cross hairs of my far reaching "equalizer."

Sometimes we have to pray for our enemies, too.

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