From Catholic Arena… Arena! No kidding… A wheelchair bound man has been martyred in the streets of Lyon by three Muslims in gruesome fashion because of his Christian faith Ashur Sharanya was an Assyrian Christian and had lived in France for decades after fleeing persecution in Iraq He livestreamed videos discussing faith and sometimes critiquing Islam Three Muslim young men hacked him to death with a machete yesterday on livestream in broad daylight, stabbing him in the neck and leaving him to die. The attackers could be heard screaming about his faith. He was the target of previous threats because of his Christianity. Emmanuel Macron has not yet commented and it is unlikely that he will, given his silence on previous attacks on churches and Christians.

    “Emmanuel Macron has not yet commented and it is unlikely that he will…”
    I continue to wait for any substantive comment from the Vatican regarding the assassination of Mr. Kirk, who was not merely engaged in the call for political reform but moral reform as well. No recognition of this tragedy by the Vatican reinforces a perception now a dozen years old of poorly concealed contempt for the United States. It is grossly unacceptable. One would have thought this would be a thing of the past. Sadly not.
