St Issam of Egypt and Companions - 21 Coptic Martyrs of Libya

                                        St Matthew Ayariga      St Issam Baddar Samir                                

"A stopped clock is right twice a day." Bergoglio got it right with the 21 Coptic Martyrs of Libya. I can't say much for Blessed Carlo Acutis and definitely nothing for Servant of God Pedro Arrupe, SJ, but the 21 Coptic Christian men beheaded by ISIS terrorists on the beach at Sirte, Libya deserve to be known saints of the Coptic Church and, yes, of the Catholic Church as well.

Ambassador and Others Killed and Obama? He Does Las Vegas!

Do we have a president? What an insult to the families whose loved ones were brutally murdered yesterday. The Middle East is a cauldron bubbling over and ready to explode and all Obama can think of us is fundraising. I'm not sure we can avoid World War III at this point no matter who is elected, but we are obviously seriously endangered with the architect of the "Arab Spring" being an empty chair in the oval office.

Pat Buchanan saw where things were going a year ago and he is turning out to be prophetically right. We'd all better be on our knees praying for peace. In the Old Testament God allowed evil tyrants to attack Israel in chastisement for her sins. The sins of America make ancient Israel look pious! And doesn't it say something that the attacks on the embassies occurred on 9/11? Wake up, America. Return to God.

And now it seems that Libyan security forces betrayed the location of the ambassador to the mob. The Libyan government has issued an apology for the killings, but where were the troops to protect the diplomatic staff and embassy workers?
