| World Community Should Pay Attention to Destruction of Churches in Kosovo |
| 2004-08-09 |
| The world community should pay attention to the destruction of unique shrines and cultural monuments in Kosovo, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexis II told Serbian journalists on Monday. "Unique churches of the 13th-14th centuries on the UNESCO list are being destroyed in Kosovo and Metohija and nobody tries to stop it," the Patriarch said. To restore the unique half-destroyed monuments we need their security guarantees," he stressed. "We have forwarded relevant addresses to the UN and often made statements to foreign media but the problem is slurred over. Society acts according to double standards here," Alexis II noted. He also confirmed the fact of the Catholic Church's indifference to this problem adding that this was sad. According to some data, Albanian terrorists destroyed over 100 Orthodox churches, cathedrals and monasteries, including those of the 14th-16th centuries, more than 10,000 icons and other church utensils. |

| #4 ...and this is news because? We have a Catholic church that has: 1) Failed the masses for the last 50+ years. 2) Protects the pedophile priests that harm the most vulnerable of the flock. 3) Sit by with their thumbs up their arses while dozens of churches and Christians are killed every year. 4) Decry the Iraq war, but haven''t heard a peep out of them about Sudan. 5) Has an ego driven Pope that greedily clings to power in full knowledge that a younger, healthier replacement could do more good in the world than he can. (Hey Pope...you''re just as expendable as we are.)(Hell, it takes him 3 days just to sit down for crying out loud) 6) Scratch their heads in wonder, as to why no one goes to church anymore. It''s definately NOT lack of faith in God. It''s the lack of faith in them. 7) Seem complacent as the World and UN look the other way when we are violated, but when a Christian looks at a Mooslem, then all hell breaks loose. Us damn infidels. |
