String, the Pope is no fundamentalist.

I restarted the thread with this report.
Do you think it all just made up proaganda?

Three days after an attack on an Anglican church in Peshawar, Pakistan, left at least 85 people dead, Pope Francis today urged Christians to an examination of conscience about their response to such acts of anti-Christian persecution.
"So many Christians in the world are suffering," the pope said during his general audience this morning in St. Peter's Square. "Am I indifferent to that, or does it affect me like it's a member of the family?"

The Sept. 22 atrocity in Pakistan is the latest instance of a mounting wave of anti-Christian violence in different parts of the world.

According to the International Society for Human Rights in Frankfurt, Germany, 80 percent of all acts of religious discrimination in the world today are directed against Christians.
