Ping!
The Church will grow where it is being persecuted.
This should not cause whooping and hollering here in America—even though we are suffering SOME persecution.
Our apostate, pro-abortion bishops (Wuerl, Dolan, O’Malley, Cupich, Chaput, Gomez, DiNardo, and most other) insist on giving abortionists Communion, clearly sending the message that abortion is not a sin or a crime. These bishops will do all they can to guarantee that the Church in America will grow weaker and weaker, capitulating to the pagans in the government at every opportunity.
They are just hardening our resolve and allowing us to see what true evil looks like.
I disagree that ISIS attacks will grow the Christianity. It doesn’t take a Christian to recognize the difference between good and evil.
Until the Christian church grows a spine of steel, the current rampage by ISIS will go like the original Islamic rampage 630-732AD: 100 years from Medina, to the West coast of Africa, to Turkey, to Spain. While the church turns the other cheek, pretending love will conquer death as they did long ago, Western civilization will again turn ashes and dust under the relentless and brutal Islamic scourge.
There are no moderate or radical muslims, only muslims, only one form of Islam - no other, not now, not ever, unchanging. Pretend all you want, but be prepared to submit, to become a dhimmi, to pay the Islamic tax, to have your daughters once again populate muslim harems ... or die.

For every bishop you named, there are more than double that number who have devoted themselves in service to the Lord through their dioceses and eparchies. This is the season of Lent. Perhaps you can use this time to pray for those with whom you disagree and offer encouragement to those whom you support.
Muslims in Egypt and Jordan for example are very disgusted by the carnage.
Some thought the Romans could never convert. But the savage treatment of the Christians helped to accomplish a revival.
Me too. Islam is one of the few groups that has dealt effectively with Christians in the past, far better than communism did. Dhimmitude and death together along with sharia law is a terrible combination that Christians have not been able to deal with without overwhelming force.
I don't believe there has been a country that has had Christianity stage a come back once Islam conquered it, that is unless it was taken back entirely by force and threw the Islamists out. Spain did that long ago, it may be the only way.
For every bishop I named, there are twenty others who insist on giving Communion to abortionists like Biden, Kerry, Pelosi, etc. Only about fifteen bishops in the U.S. are not doing so.
The USCCB voted to adopt a document (Catholics in Political Life) in 2004 that says that a bishop may “legitimately” give Communion to abortionists.
The problem is that giving Communion to abortionists is always a mortal sin.
That is, the MAJORITY of the bishops voted to give themselves permission to commit mortal sin. And it’s a mortal sin that is eating the heart out of the Church in America, because it means that the laity who are resisting abortion are on their own, without support from most bishops.
Love your church and its message of peace and love and the words of Jesus OR Bend your back to Mecca and become a Muslim—OR Be beheaded, burned alive, raped, Nailed to a cross, or be thrown from a tall building. Your Choice!
AMEN!
“The blood of the Christian martyrs is the SEEDS for new Christian believers”. Always was, always is, always will be.
.....Or pay the oppressive jizyra tax in order to practice your Christian faith, but with restrictions.
.....And what is happening now could plant the seeds for a new world war. We may be on the cusp of it.
We are dealing with a religion based on a god who was as Jesus said is “ a liar, a thief, and a murderer from the begining.”
......Or fight back, which will more likely happen.
But these guys mean it. They are already putting 5-year-olds in "Mohammed Youth" training camps.
This article almost makes it sound like there is some sacred beauty in being lead like lambs to the slaughter. Pacifist Christians joyfully having their blood spilled for the glory of the Kingdom. I will fight to my last breath before I allow some savage to saw my head off.
