The Taliban don’t want to spread the Word of God. They want to control territory for Allah. And they would kill if you don’t.

These Jesuits are in no way similar

There is going to come a time and I ask this, because it was a question asked my congregation many years ago...

Our Priest put it this way:

As he walked across the parish compound to conduct Sunday Mass, he thought about those being massacred in the churches in Africa for being ‘Christian/Catholic.’ He wanted to know if his congregation would have the faith to attend mass anyway.

Catholics don’t believe in a Rapture, so it is wise to consider if you would keep your faith as you are beheaded in the end of days.
