Quote:A Catholic conference aimed at strengthening Christian communities in the Middle East opens in the Vatican Sunday.
The gathering follows a warning from the Catholic Church that "with the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, attacks against Christians are increasing almost everywhere."
"Oftentimes, relations between Christians and Muslims are difficult, principally because Muslims make no distinction between religion and politics," the Church said in June in outlining the purpose of the Synod of Bishops Special Assembly for the Middle East. source:
such hypocrisy (the line in bold) they should come to the Philippines where the Catholics and Christians have more say in the government than the politicians. the Catholics run their own country for god sake (excuse the pun)
