Nigeria has been in the midst of the horror of an Islamic genocide against Christians, but the world remains disturbingly quiet about it, including Churches in the West and those who are parading the Black Lives Matter slogan.
Sister Nkiru Esther Ezedinachi of the Congregation of the Handmaids of the Lord Jesus warned about the intent of jihadists to Islamize the country. Kudos to the nun for trying to bring attention to the issue. The silence from Churches that claim to operate in “love” is appalling. Collectively, the Churches have become increasingly woke and tolerant of the wrong side. Political correctness now takes precedence over sensitivity to the victims. Pope Francis’ main focus has been to promote “dialogue” over truth. This woke “dialogue” is based on appeasement. This does not constitute genuine dialogue at all. Nothing is being accomplished in this “dialogue” to help persecuted Christians. Last month, Pope Francis praised a Muslim group for “dispelling erroneous interpretations of Islam.” The late Pope Benedict XVI, on the other hand, who was forced out of his position, was a man of truth. As Robert Spencer wrote:
For the first time in 600 years, there will be no conclave to choose a new bishop of Rome after a pope has died, for in 2013, Benedict became the first pope in six centuries to resign from office rather than serve until his death….
Benedict touched off worldwide outrage in 2006 by quoting a fourteenth-century Byzantine emperor criticizing Muhammad; Francis has declared, with a brazen and breathtaking disregard for obvious fact, that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” On April 30, 2019, a group of Catholic clerics and scholars published an open letter accusing Francis of a “comprehensive rejection of Catholic teaching on marriage and sexual activity, on the moral law, and on grace and the forgiveness of sins.”

“Nigerian nun sounds alarm on anti-Christian attacks, blasts Vatican silence,” by Ngala Killian Chimtom, Crux Now, December 31, 2022:
YAOUNDÈ, Cameroon – A Nigerian nun has described worsening attacks on Christians in Africa’s most populous nation, saying they’re part of an effort to Islamize the country under the hegemony of the largely Muslim Fulani ethnic group.
Sister Nkiru Esther Ezedinachi of the Congregation of the Handmaids of the Lord Jesus was speaking in exclusive comments to Crux in the wake of a new report which, once again, highlighted Nigeria as one of the worst places on earth to be a Christian.
Ezedinachi also blamed the Vatican for seeming to look the other way as the kidnappings and killings continue unabated.
“Again, many clergymen act as if nothing is happening, except a few of them. Many of us here also wonder why the Vatican and Canterbury are keeping so quiet about what is happening in Nigeria – the abduction and killing of religious people.”
The report, published by the Pontifical Charity Aid to the Church in Need, notes that over 100 priests and religious sisters were kidnapped, arrested or killed in 2022.
“At least 12 priests and five religious sisters were murdered during 2022 while fulfilling their mission,” the report concludes.
The report said “Nigeria was the country with the highest number of victims, with four priests killed,” although Mexico recorded three priests killed and two were murdered in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In addition, five religious sisters were murdered: Luisa Dell’Orto in Haiti; Sisters Mary Daniel Abut and Regina Roba in South Sudan; Sister Mari de Coppi in Mozambique; and Sister Marie-Sylvie Vakatsuraki, killed in October in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Besides the killings, scores of priests and religious were also kidnapped, with a total of 42 priests kidnapped in different countries in 2022.
“Nigeria is the country where there have been most kidnappings, with a total of 28 in 2022,” the report states, and notes that neighboring Cameroon came second in that category, with the kidnapping of six priests.
“Nigeria also accounts for the vast majority of religious sisters kidnapped in 2022, with seven. One was kidnapped in Burkina Faso, and another nun was taken in Cameroon.”
Ezedinachi said Christianity has clearly come under attack.
“What strikes me reading this kind of report is that Christianity is very much threatened, and Christian leaders do not seem to worry much about it. If they worry, they do little or nothing about it, except very few of them, one out of 500,” she told Crux.
“In the case of Nigeria, the intention of the abductors and killers of Christian priests and pastors is well known; Islamization and Fulanization,” she said.

Are Nigeria’s Christians Catholics? I was under the impression that they are mainly Anglicans. In which case it’s King Charles III who ought to be sensitive to the persecution of Christians there, and bring it up w/ President Buhrani. I’m pretty sure that Sunak’s government won’t object. Or maybe not
mick says
The Igbo of the South East are mainly Roman Catholic. The Anglicans are in the South West. As I understand from JW reports, the Fulani land-grabbers cull both sects, even-handedly.

the woman is right….because they just don’t care.
Jesus said there would be many “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” and they are doing harm to the flock as that is the *reason* they are present. they fleece the sheep and “devour” them.
He said a “rotten tree” cannot produce good fruit.
Those who have attained high positions in the churches are in it for the *glory* and the cash.
Jesus also said, “The world hates you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own; but you are no part of the world.”
People like the pope and the cardinals, and the arch guy are a part of the world and seek the world’s approval. No approval comes from helping…or even just talking/publicizing the plight of …Christians being persecuted.
tim gallagher says
Good for her for speaking up about the pathetic Christian leaders, including the Pope, who should be making a big issue of this Muslim genocide. Instead we have the Pope sucking up to Muslim leaders and telling the world that islam is basically peaceful. Islam never has been and never will be peaceful. And surely the Pope must know this very basic and obvious fact.

Well, I’ve always believed, that there’s the Trinity of…the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (or Spirit) as it is mentioned here:
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)
Of course, the word “Trinity” is not in the bible, but if anyone wants to read how it came to be that word, there’s a short introduction, here….along with other verses that show the Trinity verses:
What is the Holy Trinity & Is the Trinity in the Bible?
https://understandingthebible.org/what-is-the-holy-trinity-is-the-trinity-in-the-bible/#:~:text=So%2C%20is%20the%20Trinity%20in%20the%20Bible%3F%20Yes%2C,Trinity%20is%20not%20used%20anywhere%20in%20the%20scriptures.
And now, to get to my point….and that is, Satan always tries to copy anything and everything that God does, so he can trick people, into following him, when they thought they were following God.
So, therefore, there’s Satan (as himself), the Antichrist (with guesses throughout history, of who this “individual” is, i.e. Hitler. And the guesses keep coming today.), AND the third part of Satan’s trinity IS the False Prophet…
Most bible teachers, and many theologists believe, as I do, that Satan will need a sort of “religous” person, so who is the most popular person, that is religious, and has a very large following throughout the world? The Pope.
Now, as anyone who can see what’s happening to each of the pope’s, as we come to THIS pope, then they would be able to tell easily, that their all getting worse, and more evil. I started noticing with the last pope, and started archiving/collecting all news of him, of what he said, and what he did, as I’m doing with this one. And there’s NO doubt of this one being more evil, but he has calmed down some, from everything evil he said about God/Jesus at the beginning. It is so surprising to me, that so many people, STILL follow him, with all the awful things he’s said, that were so blasphemous!
If that bird video was a sign to everyone, I don’t know what was. He let a dove fly from a window, and it couple of black crows attacked it…
And yes, following Islam, supporting Islam, as this pope does, is not surprising, to me anyway. I just wonder which pope it’ll be, this pope, or the next…..to be the third part of Satan’s trinity….the “False Prophet.”
To know if “he” knows the fact of whether Islam, is peaceful or not, all we can do is look at is their actions, to tell us.
Wondering if he knows that basic fact, brings me back to when I wondered, if each and every leader (about 27 of them) knew what these certain type of people believed in, that every one of those leaders were letting in, all at the same time. It was sometime after 9/11, that like the thousands of Central Americans that OUR supposed “leader” has been and still allowing in today, those thousands of Muslims were allowed into those MANY countries, with no question of who they were, or what they believed in.
Actually, it took me awhile, to understand what their purpose was, in going into all of these many countries.

Tim when the Pope first started preaching about the beautiful peaceful islamic religion he probably did believe that it was, But someone will have most certainly informed him by now that islam is an evil religion, they must of done.
However he continues with this lie just to save face. He also continues to ignore the pleas of persecuted Christians in Nigeria. This to me speaks volumes as to the type of person he really is, and it’s not a man of God.
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
James Lincoln says
John ..Smith,
Pope Francis just hopes that he dies before he has to confront the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria.
He’ll also try to find a way to sanction – directly or indirectly – Sister Nkiru Esther Ezedinachi.

And that leader of Nigeria does nothing, and with all the years, the Christians have been murdered in that country, it’s easy to see that Buhari (leader of Nigeria) will NOT do a thing about it.
And even Trump probably knew that, when he invited Buhari to the White House, and made his “pretty” speech to him, about how much money he gives every year to him (billions). And how much business they’ve done together, and much more they are going to do in the future. He even made the point just how good it was, and how happy he was to see him The speech is still on Youtube, to see and hear this %$#@ coming from Trump. This “speech” USED TO BE, on the Whitehouse dot gov website, but as looking for it yesterday, I found it was taken off, and I’m surprised it’s on Youtube, but I wonder how much longer.
Oh, of course, Trump brought up the subject of all the Christian killing that has been going on for years. But it was just a few words to Buhari, and at the end of the speech. Apparently, Buhari, didn’t care about doing anything about it.
And so, I suppose you would know, that OBiden did the same thing, brought this evil to the White House, but I don’t want to hear anything OBiden said to him. Nothings going to change in regard to the Christians being killed over there, and as Robert shows on this website, that it’s still going on. I can almost bet though, that Buhari wouldn’t bother coming to our supposed “leader”, if there wasn’t still billions of dollars still flowing into his pockets, and no punishment, for letting the killings go on.
