I've Been Thinking:
Pope Francis is in Boliva. In a speech he delivered while there the pope spoke about a genocide being perpetrated against Christians in the Middle East.
He has been silent on this matter until now.
The Pope said: "Today we are dismayed to see how in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world many of our brothers and sisters are persecuted, tortured and killed for their faith in Jesus."
"In this third world war, waged piecemeal, which we are now experiencing, a form of genocide is taking place, and it must end."
There is no doubt that, throughout the Middle East, ISIS and al Qaeda as well as many other Islamic groups are targeting Christians and Christian sites.
There was a fear that speaking up would put people and property at risk. Actually, the Vatican had been trying to stem the tide of hatred by befriending non-friendly groups hoping that ultimately, everyone could live together in peace.
That plan has not been working out.
The new Vatican policy: Speak up, speak out and stop the genocide of Christians in the Middle East at the hands o Muslims.
