Fr. Thomas Uzhunnalil was crucified by ISIS on Good Friday
2016-03-28
[TORONTOCATHOLICWITNESS.BLOGSPOT] Austrian media is reporting that Cardinal Schönborn of Vienna confirmed last night, during the Easter Vigil at Stephansdom that the Salesian priest, Fr. Thomas Uzhunnalil was crucified by ISIS on Good Friday. Polonia Christiana is also carrying the news, based on the Austrian reports.
So Evil they'd make Beelzebub gag.
Fr. Tom is now in Paradise with Our Blessed Lord and His Mother. May his murderers repent and come to believe in the Gospel.

#15  ..conflict with a scheduled tee time?

The official line is "concerns about crackdowns on [internal] dissent and Kurdish insurgents."

More likely it's the WH having concerns about this.

BTW, King Abdullah also didn't get to visit with The Lightbringer.

#11  Per Wall Street Journal, Obama turned it down:

Mr. Obama has turned down Mr. Erdogan’s request to join him for the inauguration of a Turkish-funded mosque in Maryland, and the U.S. president has no plans for a formal one-on-one meeting with his Turkish counterpart, who is a vital ally in the fight against Islamic State, U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal.

The White House is instead expected to have Vice President Joe Biden meet with Mr. Erdogan.

#10  What will be happening is that Barraka Hussein will attend the opening ceremony for the largest (Islamic Forward Operating Base) mosque in America -funding courtesy of Turkey.

#9  Its a male catholic, and a priest as well. Indian, so insufficiently ethnic. Obama will be silent. Not someone he speaks for or cares about. No victim or minority card to play, and he would have to actually speak out against Muslims. Not going to happen. Jarret would never OK it.

#8  I suppose we should brace for the Champ's soon coming moronic response or actions.

Or lack thereof.

#7  Fr. Tom is an example of a Christian martyr: someone who is killed for his faith. Unlike a Muslim "martyr", who kills others for his faith.

#5  O Lord, send your spirit to calm us
So moderate Moslems won't bomb us,
Nor sons of Osama's
Provoke the Obamas'
Presumptuous #BringBackOurThomas!

#4  And some folks are are concerned about Cruz and his "carpet bombing" and Trump's "waterboarding, or worse" comments.

I suppose we should brace for the Champ's soon coming moronic response or actions.

#3  When the Priest was kidnapped, 4 nuns were murdered and their heads bashed in by Islamic State on the spot during the kidnapping.

#2  Pope Francis to the white courtesy phone please. We need some advice on how much we need to love these murderers before they will start to act civilized.
