In today’s world, Catholics and other Christians are being persecuted. While some religions, like Islam, are given an almost de facto state religion status in the west, Catholicism is constantly mocked and attacked by Progressives. Anything Catholics do is considered evil and society accepts the disrespect of the church. This is due to the fact that unlike in days past, Pope Benedict XVI doesn’t have an allied power with a military force and Catholics aren’t engaged in terrorism. While Islam is praised and criticism of it is portrayed as persecution, real discrimination against Catholics and Christians is occurring with silence. The Pope is trying to bring this to light, but the media is ignoring it.
This being the season of hope, Islamic extremists of course have been engaged in their annual tradition of blowing up Christian churches.
An attack by a radical Muslim sect on two churches in northern Nigeria killed six people on Christmas Eve. On the Philippines’ Jolo Island, home to al Qaeda-linked terrorists, a chapel bombing during Christmas Mass injured 11.
One of the central public events during these days at year’s end is the Pope’s midnight Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. In his homily the pope invariably pleads for peace, but on Friday evening a viewer could not have missed the meaning when Benedict XVI twice mentioned “garments rolled in blood,” from Isaiah 9:5.
The image, as befits Isaiah, is poetic and disturbing. Benedict surely intended it so: “It is true,” he said, “that the ‘rod of his oppressor’ is not yet broken, the boots of warriors continue to tramp and the ‘garment rolled in blood’ still remains.” He was of course referring to the sustained violence against Christian minorities by Islamic fundamentalists.

It is difficult being a Catholic in today’s world. No one stands up for our interests and our faith is constantly mocked and attacked. We don’t have a well armed nation that can defend the faithful. This is part of the reason I want a well armed Colombia, at least we would have someone to turn to for help. The Unites States has bipartisan Pro-Muslim foreign policy due to the Saudi stranglehold on our politics, hence Catholics can’t turn to America for help. The Jewish state of Israel, who would be our next logical ally for assistance, itself is besieged by the Progressive-Islamic Axis and is under pressure from the regime of Barack Hussein Obama, hence they are in no position to assist. In short, Catholics are screwed and in an ironic twist of history, we are in the same position we were 2000 years ago. Hated by society and persecuted.
Pope Benedict XVI is fighting an admirable fight but without any force to back it up, it’s a futile effort.
My message to my Orthodox brothers that we are one and the same. We broke off from you 1000 years ago and we are technically a western Orthodox church. It is a shame more Catholics didn’t stand by the Serbs when they were back stabbed by the West to please Dar al Islam. As the Progressive-Islamic axis does to the Roman Church, they will do to the Eastern Orthodox church. Many of you already know this and I appreciate the support you give us.
My message to other Christians who don’t like Catholics, they are coming for us today, then it will be you tomorrow. If we go down who will defend you? If you think the American government will, think again. The bipartisan elite in Washington will sell you out to please the House of Saud and the Islamic Imperialists. Ask the Serbian Orthodox, they can tell you.
My message to Jews is the same enemies going after the Catholic Church are going after Israel and Jews. Has there been bad relations between the Catholic Church and Jews over the centuries, absolutely, but the problem is a two way street. Some Catholics don’t like Jews and some Jews don’t like Catholics. If we focus on the idiots on both sides, we will be busy sniping each other while our enemies devour both of us.
Catholics, Orthodox, other Christians and Jews are all Children of Abraham and believe in the One true God of Israel. We either stick together or we all will perish and the evil Progressive-Islamic Axis will triumph.
