Persecution of Christians Today
In Pakistan 85 people died when two suicide bombers rushed the Anglican All Saints’ Church in Peshawar, and in Kenya, an assault on a Catholic church in Wajir left one dead and two injured. The International Society for Human Rights, a secular observatory based in Frankfurt, reports 80 per cent of all acts of religious discrimination in the world today are directed at Christians, making them by far the most persecuted religious body on the planet and especially across the Middle East.
According to the Pew Forum, between 2006 and 2010 Christians faced some form of discrimination, either de jure or de facto, in a staggering total of 139 nations, which is almost three-quarters of all the countries on earth. In effect, the world is witnessing the rise of an entire new generation of Christina Martyrs.
Machnamh
“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
Nelson Mandela.

Vatican Questionnaire
Pope Francis has announced that in October 2014 an Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops will take place in the Vatican to discuss the theme: ‘The pastoral challenges for the family in the context of evangelisation’. A preliminary document and questions have been prepared to initiate the discussion. Bishop Ray says,” In preparation for this Synod, I would appreciate if you would share with me your responses to the questions posed. This will help to inform me as I prepare to meet with the other bishops in Ireland and frame the pastoral issues facing family life in Ireland today.” Copies of the Survey are available at the back to the Church, please take a copy and on completion, forward it to the Pastoral Centre, Rock Road, Killarney by December 19th. Further information is available on www.dioceseofkerry.ie
