Genocide yesterday should teach us one thing: Do not ignore it today. What has the Pope done to counter Islamic genocide of Christians and others? As a Catholic, I fear the church is seriously out of touch with reality and now led astray by an affirmative action Pope who is clueless about the world and unwilling to defend the church and Catholics.
That is a thoughtful reply. I met a Great Uncle 5 years ago at a family reunion in Washington.
He met me for the first time. I was the son of a man he knew very well. The man had since passed on.
This Great Uncle told me of the horrors he had to deal with in Germany. He cried.
He asked that I do all I can to prevent it from happening again.
My Great Uncle had to bear witness to the Holocaust.
He knows it can happen again.
I swore allegiance to my Constitution right there in front of him.
If MY nation fears me then it is time for the deck chairs to be thrown overboard.

A few weeks ago, there was a thread here that said the Pope was being heretical by even acknowledging that Middle Eastern Christians are being persecuted for their faith, since they're heretics against the true church and therefore can't be considered Christian. There's a quote in there from Pope Pius XII from 1957: "To be Christian one must be Roman. One must recognize the oneness of Christs Church that is governed by one successor of the Prince of the Apostles who is the Bishop of Rome, Christs Vicar on earth
