Pope John "To all these peoples, who often send me pleas for help, I wish to give the assurance that I am close to them. May they know also that the Holy See is sparing no effort to bring about an end to their sufferings and to find equitable solutions to the existing serious problems, on both the political and humanitarian levels."

Sorry Smed -- Symbolic gestures and words, and acknowledgement of the suffering convince me of nothing...

Rome, should she fully mobilize her clout, influence, and resources around the world could do far more to help stop the slaughter of Christians in Africa.
