“Many people forced to emigrate suffer, and often, die tragically; many of their rights are violated, they are obliged to separate from their families and, unfortunately, continue to be the subject of racist and xenophobic attitudes.” ...Pope Francis called the faithful to move “away from attitudes of defensiveness and fear, indifference and marginalization – all typical of a throwaway culture,” and instead foster “attitudes based on a culture of encounter, the only culture capable of building a better, more just and fraternal world.” Vatican City, Jul 15, 2014 / 05:21 am (EWTN News/CNA)

Iraqi Christians' faith is not diminished, even as they face exile from their homes and profound suffering, an official with a Catholic pastoral charity has said after visiting Kurdistan, where many have taken refuge.
“The faith is the reason for their lives. And despite the persecution, children wear rosaries around their necks and the people do not hide their tattoos of crosses or their medals that identify them as Christians.”
“This is not only a problem for the Church but for all of humanity,” “We are witnessing a cultural, human and religious genocide, a tragedy of which we are silent witnesses. For this reason we must raise our voices and tell our governments to act against this barbarism.”
Maria Lozano, adjunct communications director for Aid to the Church in Need, told EWTN News following her Aug. 12-16 visit to Erbil, Iraq.

“The bishops of Africa,” he said, “are prophetic in reminding us that the role of the Church is to transform the culture, not to be transformed by the culture.” Cardinal Timothy Dolan
The bishop noted that the lead-up to the Synod for Families, being held in Rome Oct. 5-19, has been “strange,” noting the discouragement brought on by some “to discard basic components of sacramental theology because of the difficulties they represent” and said he has “been baffled” by some bishops' conferences which “seem to have equivocated on doctrinal issues: cohabitation, contraception, and divorce in the face of increased secularization.” “It seems that in some of the corners of the Church, the universal call to holiness – to greatness and to virtue – is being drowned out by a tide of mediocrity and secularism.”
