Christians Being Discriminated Against

[HagiaSophia]

The Civilta Cattolica article, written by the American Jesuit Drew Christiansen, argues that religious intolerance is on the rise in many countries, including the US. Government officials have been slow to respond to attacks on religious belief, which have grown more frequent since the 1990s, Father Christiansen argues, in an article that appears in the March 5 issue of the journal.
The Jesuit author argues that Christians are subjected to abusive treatment in many countries, while their faith is regarded as a threat to political stability. Religious intolerance is sometimes disguised through “the manipulation of the idea of religious liberty for political ends,” he adds. Under the influence of “dogmatic secularism,” political leaders and media outlets have created a public atmosphere in which religious believers are excluded from political debates, under the mistaken belief that religion is a divisive influence.

Father Christiansen suggests that UN leaders should carefully analyze the issue of religious tolerance. Noting that popular fears of religion have been increased by the worldwide campaign against terrorism, he argues that responsible political leaders should distinguish between resistance to terrorism and religious intolerance.

Hmmm. Intolerance leads to marginalization which leads to persecution which leads to tribulation which leads to apostacy which leads to the return of Christ. I say bring it on.
