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.

AMEN!
“The blood of the Christian martyrs is the SEEDS for new Christian believers”. Always was, always is, always will be.
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.
Beautiful. Tears here.
The death of martyrs always brings about a growth in the number of Catholics.
God bless these 21 people and their families.
