Another Church honcho trying to find his balls and voice ...

IMO he is not loud enough, not forceful enough and too politically correct.  These church dumbos need to change their stance and speak louder and more forcefully.  Are all the Catholic Church's martyrs and saints over and done with?  Will only certain occasions like Christmas get them to acknowledge that Christians are being killed in non-Christian countries?  Where are their voices the rest of the year???  There's no other people as persecuted as Christians .... NOBODY ... PERIOD !!!   And why is there no focus on this deplorable situation?  It's because we Christians  keep turning our other cheek for the resounding slaps over and over and over again.  We fight loudly and bravely for other less persecuted groups ... but when it comes to our own house of Christianity we let the walls collapse and go to the slaughter as dumb, meek and stupid as lambs.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!  

Andrew Harrod writing at FamilySecurityMatters:
In another German manifestation of the church militant, Cologne's Archbishop Joachim Meisner drew attention to the often ignored global persecution of Christians in his December 28, 2012, sermon and to politically (but not factually) correct understandings of human nature often prevalent in modern societies. Meisner spoke on the Feast of the Holy Innocents commemorating the Bethlehem children slaughtered by King Herod in attempt to kill the baby Jesus and regarded by the early church as the first martyrs.

​In his German homily text, Meisner used the occasion to direct attention "to the entire world, in which children of God, sisters and brothers of Jesus Christ are killed, harassed, and persecuted." Meisner thereby determined that the "persecution of Christians is the worldwide most prevalent form of human rights violation and attacks." Persecution of Christians is additionally "in Germany the most simply accepted kind and manner of human rights violation. Politics in Germany largely abandons persecuted Christians around the world." Meisner therefore joined a growing list of German Catholic bishops who have seconded Chancellor Angela Merkel's November 5, 2012, debated statement that Christianity is the "world's most persecuted faith."...................
