There Is a Catholic Oasis in Dubai. And Another Has Sprung Up in Venice

SANDRO MAGISTER'S VIEWS ON THE CHURCH AND ON THE WORLD ^ | 4/30/2006 | SOLDIEROFJESUSCHRIST

Yes, That was what I said last Sunday to Freeper RKBA Democrat because I felt very strongly about what he had said and what you had said regarding the Apostolic Vicar.

I felt that both of you all were coming down very strongly on The "Apostolic Vicar" of Saudi Arabia and who is also the Apostolic Vicar for a number of countries in the Persian Gulf.

I am not happy or overjoyed to know whether you had any ill will against me or against the Apostolic Vicar, rather the tone of your posts was too harsh as Catholics.

If you were not a Catholic I would not even want to respond to what you said, but I would like to try to make you understand if possible the environment in which Catholics live.

In anycase, Blessings to you and to your wife on "Good Shepherd Sunday".

Because of the situation in the Persian Gulf, a large number of South Asian and Filipino Catholics end up immigrating to the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc.

This is because of the Islamic Environment in which they live in the Persian Gulf.

Let us pray for Catholics where ever they may be specially Catholics who live in Countries that are hostile to Christianity and Catholicism.
