Actually this may be a good time to say to Catholics - don’t panic, but all across the country in seemingly unrelated cases - Catholics are having a lot of “accidental deaths”.
One of the odd parts is that their Catholic regalia is missing when the body is found. One would presume that virtually every living person in this country would recognize a crucifix as a Catholic symbol. It “appears” the regalia is missing in an attempt to delay police recognition of the patterns/motivations behind the crimes.
It is not panic time yet for Catholics - but it is “be very aware time”. I support the right of an individual to display their religious insignia, I’m wearing a Magen David right now - I would never tell someone that they shouldn’t. But you know, Jews are the canary in the coal mine and we have been through this before.
I’m telling you that if you are Catholic and you are out on the street ALONE (for whatever reason) do no openly display your crucifix. You might want to tuck it in your shirt, pocket, purse or whatever. If your are in a group of people in a familiar area and you feel safe - that’s fine - display it ‘til your heart is content. I’m just saying that if you spend a lot of time alone, if you use public transportation, if you have children who are away from you for periods of time - be very aware of your surroundings. You do not want to put yourself in a situation where a stranger can look at you from across a street and immediately see the regalia and identify you as a Catholic.
I’ve been researching into the “blood libel” accusations against Jews throughout history and I’m finding many things about the present that I never thought I would ever see. This information about what is happening to predominately young Catholics is an unexpected piece of information. It was an accidental find. I am Jewish, I believe that if you save one life it is as if you have saved the whole world. If this information on this board finds it’s way to one Catholic who takes note and is saved as a result, then the purpose for my finding the information has been fulfilled.
Go in safety, and tell your friends to be careful.
I have never heard about this. Quite distirbing. Do youhave a source or link? Seriously, I’ll pass the word to other Catholics.
That’s “disturbing.” Fingers moving too fast.
