Bishop Gregory John Mansour
Eparchy (Diocese) of St. Maron
If you are as frustrated as I am at the lack of response by the US to the plight of our christian brothers and sisters in Iraq, here is an opportunity to lend a helping hand. My bishop has announced a special collection on the weekend of August 16-17.
"As the world sits by and does nothing to help our brothers and sisters who are being openly discriminated against, displaced, and persecuted for no other reason than being Christian, we feel we need to do something to help."
Bishop Gregory will send that collection through the appropriate Catholic channels so that those suffering may directly receive the benefits.
Should you find it in your heart to participate, please direct your contribution to:
Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn
Collection for Iraq
109 Remsen Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201
God bless you for your donation.
Ping!
Obama as a Muslim is definitely NOT interested in helping Christians.
Obama will at least pretend to be thinking about helping the Zoroastrians with aid and air support.
Obama won’t lift a finger for the disciples of Jesus Christ, though. He won’t even mention them by name.
There will be a terrible day of reckoning when Obama and his minions must answer for that decision.
Good going, Pope. I’m glad you said something. Our fearless leader is never going to say or do anything.
Army? Preposterous! Violence never solved anything, and violence only begets violence. They need to end the cycle of violence, to give peace a chance. It's all we are saying.
Call on a crusade....in defense of the church once again.
dammit!!!!
Great and thanks for the address. So what is the response to our Pope? Constantine or Christ? Warrior or Martyr?
Thank you, NYer! Will do.
Maybe he ought to call for a crusade.
