In Lyons, 500 Demonstrate Concern for Christians in Middle East

Hat tip Gallia Watch


As much negative news is coming out of France these days, when something positive happens, I am happy to note it. On Saturday, about 500 people in Lyons led by churchmen showed their support for Middle East Christians. The French blog Gallia Watch has the report.

As positive as this is coming from mostly Catholic France, I have to ask where is the Pope? He is so outspoken on so many issues, but to my knowledge, has spoken only obliquely about the plight of Christians. Should he not be more forceful and name names? Should he not be in contact with Muslim religious and political leaders in these countries and demand that Christians be protected?
