I was born into and raised in a Catholic home. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable... Nigeria. The Sahel. India. Syria. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. And also the executions of thousands of Iranian people recently protesting their cruel and oppressive government in Iran. Several women are now reported to be scheduled for execution. ☠️ Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing...😢 No named condemnations. No emergency visits. No breaking of protocol. Just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace — directed at nobody in particular. But the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages, and had three American Cardinals appear on 60 Minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. But Trump calls Leo "weak" — and suddenly the institutional Church finds its voice. I'm asking why my Church saves its loudest moments for American politics — and its quietest moments for the people actually dying for the faith. 🤔💔😢
