I was shocked! I'm not a missionary, but I have done missionary work in several places in the world, one of them Indonesia, and I can tell anyone, Christians are being martyred there. When I was in Saudi Arabia, not being Muslim but Roman Catholic, I could only go outdoors at certain hours of the day. As a woman, I always had to have an escort. No religious jewelry was allowed, though I refused to remove my cross. I don't know what would have happened had someone in authority noticed. I suppose I would have been arrested. In UAE it was much better. Christians are allowed to worship there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-37297741000810507542013-11-16T01:49:55.815-05:002013-11-16T01:49:55.815-05:00Thank you all.Thank you all.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-47109681714336586212013-11-15T17:47:27.875-05:002013-11-15T17:47:27.875-05:00A Christian must follow his or her heart not only ...A Christian must follow his or her heart not only with prayers but a little action on occasions.<br /><br />God BlessVictorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500112959496831193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-18731143206934648812013-11-15T09:16:44.777-05:002013-11-15T09:16:44.777-05:00There are a lot of things that the bishops should ... There are a lot of things that the bishops should be addressing. Good for you that you stepped up and wrote. With as many Catholics as there are world wide, there's nothing we can't do if we all join together.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833359394611156317.post-62019261395141259332013-11-15T08:28:01.612-05:002013-11-15T08:28:01.612-05:00Oh my gosh, Manny, that is a great letter and I al...Oh my gosh, Manny, that is a great letter and I also would frame that response! God Bless you for taking that action. This situation is highly alarming, and Cardinal Dolan is right; those Christians are our brothers and sisters! We should ask the prayers of all those million martyrs for God's power and mercy on those still going through the persecution. +JMJ+Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847572866285311259noreply@blogger.com
