Warsaw rise
Do you remember when, when the Nazis forced their rule on Poland
1939 and the allies turned away
From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper
City in despair, but they never lost their (Catholic) Faith
Women, men and children fight
They were dying side by side And the blood they shed upon the streets Was a sacrifice willingly paid Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 1944 help that never came Calling Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!' Spirit soul and heart In accordance with the old traditions 1944 still the allies turn away Fighting street to street In a time of hope and desperation Did it on their own and they never …More

CATHOLICS AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM
by Mary Eberstadt
10 . 27 . 23

On October 7, the terrorist organization Hamas decided to follow the Nazi playbook once more. As one observer of World War II put it, the Nazis “ripped the lid off Hell.” That’s what Hamas did. It ripped the lid off Hell. The comparison is inescapable. As noted earlier in this gathering, the Catholic moral record during World War II and the Holocaust was mixed. There were outstanding exceptions. But many European Christians, and others, back then and elsewhere in history, wronged our older brothers and sisters in faith. Many did not view the bond that tethers Catholics and Jews as unbreakable, but as one to escape when loopholes like war or personal advantage presented themselves.
That is what we need to change. We must forge, and render visible, a new alliance between Jews and Catholics, the like of which has not existed before.
There’s an observation by Pope Paul VI that’s been quoted many times, including by Pope John …More

Catholics have more important things to worry about than anti-Semitism......like a heretic and his pals trying to destroy the Church. Anti-Semitism is wrong, but it's more an issue for Jews to confront.

There are some Jew-hating Christian clerics who will be enraged and appalled by this, but they should take it up with Father Yousef Yakoub.
The meeting in question ran along predictable lines, as Herzog repeated the currently dominant fantasies regarding Islam, with no demurral from the assembled Christian leaders. The “moderate Islam” to which he refers does not exist, and has never actually been seen.
“Herzog: Hamas atrocities ‘incompatible’ with Jesus’s teachings,” JNS, December 24, 2023:
Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Christian leaders that the massacre carried out by Hamas on Oct. 7 is incompatible with the teaching of Jesus and the basic tenets of the Jewish faith as well as moderate Islam.

Hamas and Hezbollah Attacks on Christians Being Ignored
JAN 3, 2024 2:00 PM BY HUGH FITZGERALD
While the Pope, without the slightest evidence, recently accused Israel of killing two Palestinian Christian women at a Catholic church in Gaza, both he, and most of the world’s media that seconded his sentiments, have again showed an anti-Israel animus, always quick to blame Israel, in marked contrast to how studiously they ignore the continuing attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah on Christians. More on this double standard can be found here: “Why Christian Leaders Ignore Attacks on Their Community,” by Bassam Tawil, Gatestone Institute, January 2, 2024:
On December 26, Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah attacked St. Mary’s Greek Catholic Church in Iqrit, northern Israel. An anti-tank guided missile fired from Lebanon directly hit the church, severely wounding an 85-year-old civilian. Nine Israeli soldiers who rushed to rescue the churchgoer were then wounded by a second missile strike. …More

Sergeant-Major (Sgt.-Maj.) Urija Bayer was a Christian combat soldier in the IDF who lost his life in battle on Sunday. He was proud to serve in the IDF and defend Israel.
IDF Sgt.-Maj. Urija Bayer succumbed to his wounds on Sunday after being seriously injured in battle in the southern Gaza Strip on December 14, the IDF reported. Bayer, 20, from Ma’alot-Tarshiha, was a member of the Maglan Special Forces unit of the Nahal Brigade and a German Evangelical Christian who chose to volunteer in the army. His grandparents moved to Israel to help support Holocaust survivors.
“He always wanted to be a combat soldier,” a fellow Evangelical IDF volunteer told The Jerusalem Post on condition of anonymity. “He was a good combat soldier, focused on defending the State of Israel. He was a good person, too. Always smiling.”
Proud to defend Israel
He said that he was proud to be a volunteer – being himself in combat – and proud of his friend.
“At the end of the day, as Christians, we …More

Jordan Peterson Ignites a Twitter war with Pope Francis.
What had the Pope written to provoke the world’s most popular psychologist to lay down a Twitter challenge?
#socialjustice demands that we fight against the causes of poverty: inequality and the lack of labour, land, and lodging; against those who deny social and labour rights; and against the culture that leads to taking away the dignity of others.”
To which Professor Peterson (never short on self-confidence) replied: “There is nothing Christian about #socialjustice. Redemptive salvation is a matter of the individual soul.”
