-——The 2,000 are unofficially unaccounted for.-——

Initial reports are normally inflated....

I hope that is the case here and unaccounted for are simply hiding or ran away...

We have 2 priests from that area. One was supposed to go have in September, but his bishop told him to stay here for now because he has no where to put him. In fact the week he was supposed to leave uptold violence was happening and we thought for sure he would be killed as soon as he returned. Last week the other priest asked to pray for his family that he had heard that morning had been kidnapped. I pray for these people continuously. Having them here really brings the realities of these horrors home. In fact the priest that was to return was the head of the school that was burned down with all the boys in it.

Why are the 12 killed splashed all around the world, but untold thousands don’t warrant a mention. What is wrong with this world that turns a blind eye to this.

Their bishop begs us to pray for them. Please do.

Just another of O’bummer’s JV teams.

Nothing to see here.

Move along - clear the golf course...

The current Pope is definitely the Obama of the Catholic Church. Same arrogant, autocratic style, same limited intellect and non-existent learning, and same Muslim-sycophant, leftwing, media-adoring mindset.

That’s truly horrible. We all need to pray for them...but somebody somewhere (like here in the US?) needs to do something about this.

God knows ... Should these people have to wait two more years? Lord knows the zer0 isn't whom he says he is. May God intervene since all Americans are moslem tied, Thanks to Congress and zer0.

Hey, last time we got mildly perturbed with them for kidnapping hundreds of little girls, we hash-tagged them unmercifully. Even the White Hut joined the battle. Quit whining!

Yeah, but they aren’t murdering hundreds here week in and week out. How long would we let that go on if they did?

2,000 were killed in 2014, not in a single attack. Horrible? Sure. But the headline is misleading.

Thousands of Christians are murdered by Muslim in Africa daily, and where is Francis? …celebrating with Obama the bail out of the Cuban Stalinist regime that will be kept afloat by the American taxpayers while the enslaved Cuban people is condemned to remain in chains indefinitely thanks to the prayers of Pope for the health of the genocides of the Cuban people.
