Wonder if the Vatican would be interested in financing another crusade? At some point, turning the other cheek will just get your head chopped off by a devout muslim. Onward Christian soldiers?
"In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."
Seems the church is definitely being persecuted. Not just the Roman catholics but all Christians. And I can't think of a Pope that is more "pastor" like.
I thought the court had thrown out the death sentence for this woman. But then they stopped her from leaving the country. What’s the status now?
