Pope
decries indifference to refugees
Laments
‘so many tears’ this Christmas, wishes for hope and peace for Mideast
FRANCES
D’EMILIO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN
CITY — A sombre Pope Francis steeped his Christmas message to the world
Thursday in sadness for those with little cause for joy — abused children,
refugees, hostages and others suffering from violence in the Middle East,
Africa, Ukraine and elsewhere.
Anguish
for children who suffer maltreatment or violence, including in the recent
terrorist attack on a Pakistani military school, tempered the pontiff ’s
traditional Christmas Day speech, which he delivered from the central balcony
of St. Peter’s Basilica. A crowd, estimated by the Vatican to number more than
80,000 Romans, tourists and pilgrims, filled St. Peter’s Square for the Urbi et
Orbi message (Latin for to the city and to the world).
“Truly
there are so many tears this Christmas," said Francis, looking solemn and
smiling little, in contrast to his often jocular demeanour when addressing
crowds.
He
lamented that many children are “made objects of trade and trafficking"
or forced to become soldiers, as well as those never born because of abortion.
“I
think also of those infants massacred in bomb attacks, also those where the Son
of God was born," said Francis, referring to the Middle East.
Francis
decried the persecution of ancient Christian communities in Iraq and Syria,
along with those from other ethnic and religious groups.
“May
Christmas bring them hope," he said.
Referring
to refugees and exiles, he prayed: “May indifference be changed into
closeness, and rejection into hospitality." He expressed hope they’d
receive humanitarian help to withstand the “rigours of winter, return to their
countries and live with dignity."
The
pope also thanked those courageously helping people infected with Ebola in
Africa.
In
his litany of the world’s troubled places, he denounced hostage-taking in
Nigeria, and hoped that reconciliation would prevail over “hatred and
violence" in Ukraine, where pro-Russian rebels have been fighting against
government forces in the east of that country.
While
much of his message concerned poor countries, Francis had harsh words for some
in affluent nations. He prayed for an end to the hardened hearts “of so many
men and women immersed in worldliness and indifference, the globalization of
indifference."
Christmas
joy will only be realized when weapons are transformed “into ploughshares, destruction
into creativity, hatred into love and tenderness," Francis concluded
before giving the crowd his blessing.
About
an hour after the pope went inside, a protester from the Femen activist group
bared her chest and snatched the statue of Baby Jesus in the life-sized Nativity
scene at the centre of the square, while thousands of visitors were strolling
across the space. A gendarme from the Vatican’s security forces hustled away
the woman, after she was covered with a coat.

The
pontiff tells refugees at tent camp in Ankawa: ‘You’re like Jesus on this
night, and I bless you’
December 24, 2014
VATICAN
CITY — Pope Francis celebrated Christmas Eve with a late-night Mass Wednesday
in St. Peter’s Basilica and a phone call to some Iraqi refugees forced to flee
their homes by Muslim militants.
Francis
told refugees at the tent camp in Ankawa, a suburb of Irbil in northern Iraq,
that they were like Jesus, forced to flee because there was no place for them.
For Christians, Christmas marks the birth of Jesus in a Bethlehem barn manger,
chosen because there was no room for his parents at an inn.
“You’re
like Jesus on this night, and I bless you and am close to you,” Francis told
the Iraqis, according to the audio of the call provided by TV2000, the
television of the Italian bishops’ conference which arranged the hookup. “I
embrace you all and wish for you a holy Christmas.”
The
Ankawa camp houses mostly Christian refugees forced to flee the onslaught by
militants of the Islamic State. In a letter to Mideast Christians penned
earlier this week, Francis urged them to remain in the region, where Christian
communities have existed for 2,000 years, and to help their fellow Muslim
citizens present “a more authentic image of Islam” as a religion of peace.
During
the Mass hours later in St. Peter’s, Francis echoed some of the themes he
raised in the phone call as he reflected on the Nativity scene.
“How
much the world needs tenderness today!” he said. “God’s patience, God’s
closeness, God’s tenderness.”
The
phone call and nighttime Mass kicked off a busy few weeks for the 78-year-old
pontiff that includes his traditional Christmas day speech, New Year’s Eve
vespers, and 2015 greetings a few hours later. On Jan. 6 he’ll celebrate
Epiphany Mass, and on Jan. 11 he’ll baptize babies in the Sistine Chapel. A day
later he gives his annual foreign policy address to diplomats accredited to the
Holy See before boarding a plane for a weeklong trip to Sri Lanka and the
Philippines.
Wednesday’s Mass came just days
after Francis excoriated the Vatican bureaucracy for a laundry
list of sins, including lusting for power and suffering from “spiritual
Alzheimer’s.”
Many
of the same cardinals, bishops and priests who received the dressing down were
on hand for the Mass. Several have spoken out in recent days saying Francis was
merely asking them to examine their consciences, as any Jesuit spiritual
director would do, and to use the Christmas season to heal
Islamic Terror
Attacks on Christians(Since
9/11)
|
This is a list of targeted acts
of terrorism on Christian civilians and church workers by religious
Muslims since September 11th, 2001. These attacks have nothing to do
with war, combat or insurgency. The victims are innocent Christians
who were specifically targeted and abused solely on account of their faith
by those who claim
their own religion as a motive.
There may be a few anomalies on
the list, as it is compiled by keyword search from our main
database. Neither is this a complete account of Islamic terror
attacks on Christians since much of the violence goes
unreported.
