What about the @2 million christians the Turks murdered mostly in horrible ways in Armenia and Turkey..
Many were not Roman Catholic true, but some were..
Must be a card carrying RCC to be a “Saint” obviously..

at least the carnage could be recognized..

Hosepipe,

A person has to be Catholic to be canonized by the Catholic Church. Let the Armenian Church canonize (or acclaim) the Armenians victims of Turkish massacres. It’s up to them. I would not be surprised if they already have done that either.

For the Catholics murdered by the Turks, we’ll take care of our own: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/martyr04.htm
