Pope Francis met privately Thursday with Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese Christian woman who faced a death sentence for refusing to renounce her faith, blessing the woman after she was flown to Italy on an Italian government jet.

The Vatican characterized the visit with Ibrahim, 27, her husband and their two small children as "very affectionate."

Don't get ahead of yourself now, the pope censors will be here any minute to tell us what the Holy Father should have said or done. /s.

I am so glad she is safe now.

How many are there that do not renounce and are murdered? We will never know.

A rare happy ending. I’d be happier if those barbarians would suffer what they had intended for this lady.

They will. They are already in hell. This woman is simply amazing. I would not be surprised if Obama tried to take credit and get a photo op.

I’d also like to see them punished in their mortal lifetimes.

I couldn’t help but read that story with sadness that it was Italy and NOT the United States who served this woman’s interests in the negotiations with Sudan to spare her and tirelessly pleaded for her release from these barbarians.

The US has become anathema around the world for negotiating anything meaningful for good with anyone anywhere. Stunning collapse in the practice of virtue for our nation is now obvious to the world.

He’s probably still trying to wash the stink off.

Great news she escaped the hellhole of a country she was in. I thought she was still in the embassy in Sudan

He did because he had some unassigned spare time.

Lets not forget our Marine in Mexico.....Don’t get me wrong, I let the LORD know how thankful I was that Mariam Ibrahim and her family were free and that her family didn’t get her back to do an “honor (more like horror) killing”, but what really gets me is that Obama turned everything upside down and released five of the worst terrorists from Gitmo, to get a converted muslim out, but from what I can see, doesn’t do a thing to get Mariam, Sgt. Tamoressie (sp) or Pastor Saeed Abedini out and why???? All three of them are Christian and I think America is fast learning what Obama thinks of Christians. I think it is such a shame that it was Italy who got Mariam and her family out, and not the U.S., after all, her husband, and two children are American citizens, she is also an American by marriage. Please LORD GOD, free Sgt. Tamoressie, Pastor Saeed Abedini, and all other Christians who are being persecuted where ever they may be and take us home, we are so ready. SHA-ALU SHALOM-YERUSHALAYIM.

another shameful episode in the continuing reign of the boy king.

He never said a word, never lifted a finger...while orchestrating 100’s of thousands of illegals across the border and while leaving our marine a prisoner on Mexico - also without a word or action.

Meanwhile, the world is in chaos - and all he does is continues playing golf and fund raising...

we are living the destruction of our country

Oh you are SO right! That situation is another bastardization of everything America ever stood for by the high regard Americans used to hold for their nation’s sons, and daughters.

There was a louder scream about that fool Mexican NON-citizen Lefty reporter who got stuck in Mexico, was denied re-entry, and had to “swim” across the Rio Grande like the illegal he IS!

We’re cooked pretty much by now and apparently just waiting to be served up on a platter.

Thanks for the ping. I am glad she is out of Sudan and that the Pope met with her.
