This is very bad news. My heartfelt prayers for the release of the Archbishop and capture of the kidnappers. Indeed, those who left were wise and those who stayed brave. God have mercy.

In Christ and the Theotokos,

Porter.

This is horrible. What is more horrible is that I have not seen this on mainstream news sources.

Gaudior, thinking the world agenda has gone WAY beyond mildly anti-Christian

It was a top story on CNN this afternoon and AP ran a series of bulletins on it.

Drudge links to the AP story at the top of his page.

It's the number two story on the New York Times web site.

It's at the top of the ABC, CBS and NBC's web sites. It's at the top of the page at http://news.bbc.co.uk/

The story is even the first international story on my newspaper's Web site: www.jsonline.com [jsonline.com]

What "mainstream news sources" are ignoring the story?

This is not an anti-christian act but only a means of terrorizing the Chaldeans not to vote in the upcoming elections that the Mujahadeen have everry intention of preventing. What will be the reaction of the coalition to this latest act of terrorism? Wait and see.

But isn't that exactly anti-Christian? If all are terrorized into not voting except fanatical Muslims, it most certainly does ensure that only the fanatical anti-Christians will be voted for...

Gaudior, who really thinks enough is enough over there

I am saddened and outraged by this criminal act against the Archbishop and all Iraqis of good will.

I pray through the intercession of St. Peter in chains and the Archbishop's guardian angel for his speedy release.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Paul
