This is not a so-called religious problem. It will change the course of history. The USA surely understands we are supporting communism by not intervening? Not to mention human rights. Millions put at risk with a stroke of pope’s pen. I wonder what our State Dept is doing?

I remember when the Pope used to stand up to communists instead of bow to them ...

I recall back in the days when the late Sa'ad Haddad was fighting the moslems and the PLO in southern Lebanon. He got absolutely no support from the Catholic Church (of which he was a member). He once said he had actually written a letter to the Pope at the time ("St." John Paul II) asking for help and got no replay whatsoever. He was obviously hurt. "The Pope is our father," he said, "and a father is supposed to care for his sons, even when they are bad." It was heartbreaking. And all because Haddad and his people were allied with Israel (the Pope had recently had his photo taken with the grinning puss of Arafat and it was publicized internationally). These poor Maronites of southern Lebanon were probably the only traditional Catholic population to know what it's like to be a "redneck"--unworthy of notice, much less support.

I believe I was actually in the church at that time. The anti-Zionism was so radically different from the Fundamentalist Protestantism I had known all my life. That together with the evolutionism/higher criticism, anti-messianism, and prejudice against traditional rural Americans were the hardest things to take.

Haddad died, forsaken by "his" church and by the world . . . but not by Israel.

The loyal, orthodox Catholics of China are about to go through the same thing. The only difference is that up until now, the Vatican supported them.

That’s a real eye opener for those watching the Catholic Church.
