Istanbul - A top Catholic Church official in Turkey was stabbed to death in his home on Thursday, Turkish television broadcasters reported.
The reports said Vicar Apostolic for the Anatolia region, Bishop Luigi Padovese, was killed by a driver in the bishop's home in Iskenderun.
Further details were not immediately known.
In recent years, nationalist extremists in Turkey on several occasions have attacked or kidnapped Christian clergymen in the country.
Luigi Padovese took up his post in Iskenderun in southern Turkey in November 2004.
Said devotee would just as happily kill you, "Infidel".
Among the Muslim nutjobs of the world, Turks have unfairly been given a break from the west.
But they are just like the burnoose covered bastards from Saudi Arabia, and indeed all Muslims. First, last and always, a Muslim is a Muslim wherever they come from and I hope the west finally “gets it.”
This is another article for my ever growing collection of Islam as the Religion of Peace file.
Anima eius et animae omnium fidelium
defunctorum per Dei misericordiam
requiescant in pace.
May his soul and the souls of all
the departed faithful by God’s mercy
rest in peace.
Well it doesn’t give a motive. I mean, yeah it’s a muslim country and he was a Catholic but was there some other reason? Surely this was not justifiable, it’s just that I read no motive in the article, it was kind of dry and “matter-of-fact.”
Amish again, eh?
Why did Constantinople get the works?
I don’t get it.
Sorry to hear that. :( Glad she got out OK!
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.
Ok.
It’s nobody’s business but the Turks!
When the messiah Yeshua returns that false, rot-gut religion of darkness and death will be done away with and exposed for the fraud that it is and has blinded millions through the centuries of time. ROD-—’Religion of death’ needs to meet it’s end for the benefit of all humanity.
"In recent years, nationalist extremists in Turkey on several occasions have attacked or kidnapped Christian clergymen in the country."
For some of these clowns ROP is sufficient motive for killing an infidel.
“In recent years, nationalist extremists in Turkey on several occasions have attacked or kidnapped Christian clergymen in the country.”
The above quote is a history lesson, not necessarily a motive for this horrible crime.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the Mercy of God, rest in peace.
They were “nationalist extremists”. Certainly not Mohammedans.
MARTYR PRO FIDELIBUS REQUIEM EIS DOMINE
Wonder if the military of Turk would step up again, or if they’re compromised too.
Not sure this shadow war is going very well right now.
