Gloria TV News on the Feast of St. Hilary of Arles.
Better Go To Church
USA
Father Edward Beck is a religion contributor for ABC News and the host of a program called The Sunday Mass, which airs on ABC Family. On Tuesday Father Beck appeared on the O’Reilly Factor. During the interview he cautioned Americans against cheering the fact that Osama bin Laden was killed. Father Beck asserted that Americans should not stoop to the same level as some Arabs did after 9/11, which was to celebrate the demise of over 3000 people. He said: “ Americans should do what former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani did in reaction to bin Laden’s death—and go to church instead.”
Coptic Christians Under Siege
Egypt
Coptic Christians in Egypt are hoping to draw 1 million people to a demonstration on May 6, protesting attacks on San Marco cathedral in Abbasseya. The cathedral has been the target of sit-ins and other protests by Islamic activists. They charge that the wife of a Coptic priest, who converted from Islam to Christianity, is being held against her will.
More Security for Christians in Irak?
Iraq
Iraq's ambassador to Italy has promised that his country's Christians will have added government protection in the wake of the death of Osama bin Laden. Ambassador Saywan Barzani said that "the most important thing is to ensure the security and defense of Christians." That statement was welcomed by Church leaders in Iraq, who have frequently complained about the absence of government support for their security in the face of Islamic intimidation.
The Problem: We Substitute Will for Reason
Internet
Father James Schall, SJ has explained in “The Catholic Thing” how modern states and international organizations undermine human rights by claiming to define new rights. Father Schall points out that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was based on the assumption that these rights are based on human nature and evident to everyone. But now, no truths are held to be “self-evident”. Nevertheless, international organizations cite new "rights," supported by nothing but their own authority. Schall spots the danger: The modern regime of “human rights” portends the soft totalitarianism implicit in modern culture since we substituted will for reason as the ground of our understanding of God, the world, and ourselves.

Islam (read: the Religion of Perpetual Outrage) is at war with the West. Christians and Christianity, in particular, are seen as 'soft' targets since they are unable to defend themselves from attacks and butchery that takes place in Muslem countries.

Yes! Prayer for a swift and decisive military response to any and all Muslim attacks on innocent civilians whether those attacks occur in non-muslem countries or in predominately Muslem countries.
The world has had enough of the atrocities perpetrated by these barbarians and the failure of the West to act swiftly, decisvely and overwhelming to crush this malignant ruthless enemy.
If the peacniks (including some brain-dead clerics) object to the actions of the U.S. --- too freakin' bad. The Lord made America the world's superpower for a reason and with that power comes responsibilites. One of those responsibilites is to defend the defenseless from unjust and barbarous aggression especially as it exists today from Musliim jihadists.

Islamic attacks on minority Christians is an attack on a soft target. It has nothing to do with justice or preserving the honour of Islam. This must be spelt out......as attacking a soft target is nasty act of cowardice.
We must shame Muslims into treating Christians and other minority religions fairly!
