#PJNET PERSECUTED #CHRISTIANS - MARTYRS #POPEFRANCIS
The Pope compared the witness of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, to the many Christians of today “who are discriminated against, persecuted and killed for their testimony to Christ.” There are “many, many” martyrs today, the Pope insisted.
“I would say to each of them: if you bear this cross with love, you have entered into the mystery of Christmas, you are in the heart of Christ and the Church,” he said.
The day after Christmas, the Christian church honors Saint Stephen, the first “martyr” to shed his blood for Christ. In his Angelus message, the Pope held up the example of Stephen as a model of Christian consistency, faithful up to the point of giving his life. “With his martyrdom,” Pope Francis said, “Stephen honors the coming into the world of the King of kings, bears witness to him and offers the gift of his own life.”
The Pope underscored Jesus’ hard words to his disciples: “You will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” It may seem strange to speak of martyrdom the day after Christmas, the Pope suggested, but in reality it fits in perfectly. These words “do not disturb the celebration of Christmas,” Francis said, “but strip it of that false sugarcoating that does not belong it.”

Catholic League slams Obama: ‘Do Christian lives mean so little to you?’
The head of the Catholic League issued a scathing criticism at
PresidentObama, posting on his group’s website an essay that pointed to all the Christians being beheaded by Muslim terrorists and asking: Doesn’t that matter to you?
“Christians are being beheaded all over the Middle East because they are Christians, and those carrying out this mass murder are doing so in the name of Islam,” Bill Donohue wrote on his group’s website, Newsmax reported. “Yet you continue to say and do absolutely nothing about these unspeakable crimes. Do Christians mean so little to you?”
