Turkey will be held to
account for this. It is interesting to see that Europe did nothing about this -- which is probably why this info. was given to Pope Benedict. The world was ignoring this monstrous crime, and he wanted the story to get out. Keep in mind that some of these churches were the most ancient ones in all of Christianity. Unless we speak up as united Catholics, and STOP our petty squabbles, the rest of the world will continue to destroy, denigrate, and marginalize our religion and our Savior. Get angry about this. DO SOMETHING. Hold the Turkish government responsible for this. Bring this to the U.N.'s and the U.S.'s attention. Write your local newspaper IMMEDIATELY. Do your OWN research -- get the facts, and then broadcast it all over the Internet. Get this story into a pamphlet, and distribute it everywhere. If this is a U.N. protected zone, ask why didn't the U.N. PROTECT those churches? This is a Christian Holocaust. This cannot be ignored. If you let it go, get ready to lose much more. STOP being indifferent and confused about your faith. Learn how to speak up for yourself. Practice talking points, practice your writing and speaking in front of a mirror. Realize that it is O.K. to condemn actions like this, and demand both action and reparations. It is *O.K.* to defend your faith! Speak, write, and act with eloquence and wisdom. Pray constantly.

We tolerate their mosques, they burn our churches..we tolerate
the bombings, banning of Catholic Masses in Saudi Arabia. This is insane! Islam should be banned as a subversive and autocratic organization, certainly this "religion" has nothing to do with God!

Why advocate destroying the holy place of anyone? Christians should be known by their love.

The destruction of Mecca
would be more appropriate and long overdue!

What destruction, indeed! What sort of gift is this. I don't understand if this was a cruel gift or a badly disoriented sense of friendliness- like when Julius Caser was presented with the head of his enemny, much to his displeasure as he atleast respected his adversary.
May peace guide us and teach us. May the Immaculate Mother of the Sacred Heart aid us. -Christopher
