Where are the Catholics?

Less than 4% of French people attend Mass. That statistic means that there are 2.4M practicing Catholics in France and 6M Muslims.

Where are the denunciations of these atrocities?

I've seen no reports of the reaction of Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger, Archbishop of Paris. But Cardinal Lustiger is (a) of Jewish descent and (b) was instrumental in denouncing and exposing the scurrilous anti-Semitism of the Abbe Pierre, one of his own colleagues. I would be quite surprised if he has been quiet about this.

Where are the Catholics who run the schools?

Many of the administrators who run French Catholic schools aren't even Catholics themselves.

Where is the Catholic leadership in France while this is going on?

The leadership of Catholic France is Cardinal Lustiger. I am trying to track down his reaction for you.

So you are saying that the "practicing" Catholics are few in number and are afraid of the Muslims? So few in number that that they cannot speak out against this sustained violence?

I've seen no reports of the reaction of Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger...

Why haven't we seen reports? Why does it take a continued wave of violence and the flight of thousands of Jews from France for us to look for it?

I would be very interested to see what you find. Up until now, there hasn't been much comment at all. Not any that has been reported. So far, it doesn't pass the smell test.
