Countries rethink commitments to accept refugees

[abucs]

The bishop of Mosul was shocked to find out last year that America and France have closed door policies to Middle East Christians.

This is horrific, spoke to my pastor who said the Church cannot do anything because it is not a government in and of itself. If our country forbids helping Middle East Christians, we publicly can do nothing…

But I do see alot of Catholic organizations helping people coming across the border illegally, so may be in this, Middle Eastern Christians are coming through. Yet…the Chaldeans, about 26 of them were held up in Mexican hotel for 6 months and then recently President Obama said they could not enter and they had relatives in California.

Saw some of the pictures of the Chaldeans after the decision and one girl looked like she was heading for a nervous breakdown…the treatment of women and children…like the little toddler hung by his neck with a rag and his little shorts pulled down exposing him…I wish that picture would get out. I am sorry, this is graphic of what I just shared, but it is horrific to me that our country is refusing Christians who have been in the Middle East for 2000 years.

Hi Kathleen,

this is the result of a secular morality based on directed equality. How many Christians have died horribly in the middle east because we are told that this is a superior morality. It clearly is not.

I think as Christians it is time to evaluate how far a liberal secular morality has led us away from a Christian morality and where exactly we should stand with regards to state and church.

Many of the terrorists these days are actually citizens of Western countries.

Shall we throw everyone out but me? I know I’m not a terrorist…

Well just to be sure perhaps we should throw you out too.

(It was a joke!!!)

Abucs,

It is primarily the USA and France who are closed to sheltering Middle East Christians.
