Even if the circumstance presented themselves to me, I could only hope that I would be as faithful as our fellow saints. But right now there are brave souls in these Muslim countries who are preaching the word. We should be praying for their boldness and safety.

You mean like these people?

It's amazing to me that so many apparently do not realize what is really happening in the mid-east as well as in the rest of the world. Instead of appreciating the Pope's consistent,judicious and holy responses to the atrocities committed throughout the world and the escalating fury directed at Christians and Americans,he and the Church are denigrated and dismissed by many. He is trying to temper the turmoil and save Christianity in Western Civilization thereby saving both,and there is no one on earth that can speak with his auhority.

Those poor Chaldeans,God help them and all the innocents,for that matter.
