Minya churches canceled on Sunday the second mass, holding only a brief one. Meanwhile, prayers did not take place at other churches which were attacked.

Priest Selwanes Lotfy of the Virgin Mary and Priest Ibram monastery in Degla, south of Minya, said, “We did not hold prayers in the monastery on Sunday for the first time in 1,600 years.”

The Underground Church will start to exist in many countries. Bl. Miguel Pro was well known for his underground church activities and the disguises he wore in Mexico.

Bump. It wouldn’t the the first time that the church was an underground movement.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

Civ, my view is that aid is a bribe to keep Egypt honoring the peace treaty with Israel and keep them out of the Russian orbit. It's worked well for that purpose since the Sadat era, at least until the Brotherhood took power.

As for the military beating the daylights out of the Brotherhood, well I'm not shedding any tears.

Zero suspends military aid, doesn’t offer humanitarian assistance, what a surprise.

If Leahy is in on it, you know they're supporting the bad guys.

I guess the Bro'hood burning down churches and attacking Christians doesn't count as a human rights violation to them?

Quite so. Weird coincidence that Benghazi Barry (thanks to whomever coined that, it’s perfect!) has shut down that aid that keeps the treaty valid, mmm?
