In the present case it is clear that the Catholic party would not prevail in having the baby baptised as a Catholic and so the bishop would certainly act within the law by refusing permission.<br /><br />Surely the attitude of our Bishops on this point makes a mockery of the suffering of Bishop Ploscaru? Why resist schism to the point of suffering torture if Archbishop Nichols won't resist heresy to the point of making the British establishment feel uncomfortable?Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347231130073317533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-5809279434682941932013-04-24T23:19:21.508+01:002013-04-24T23:19:21.508+01:00Jonathan,

The latter would give permission for a Catholic to marry the heir to the British throne knowing that the children would be baptised in to a protestant ecclesial body. The former suffered torture for 15 years rather than join a schismatic Church which at least had all the sacraments.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347231130073317533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-36293541919503658962013-04-24T17:17:23.514+01:002013-04-24T17:17:23.514+01:00Thank you Father.

It is go...Thank you Father. A very powerful piece. <br />It is good to be reminded of the suffering of those who are willing to suffer for the faith. It is hard sometimes for us to reconcile this to our lives of comfort. <br />When I read articles like this , I remember that John Fisher literally wore the red of the cardinalte , something that any modern day Cardinal in these isles would do well to remember. johnhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963570078017035494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-42146108804753019842013-04-24T16:32:13.742+01:002013-04-24T16:32:13.742+01:00suffer. amalek is the one unadulterated enemy that...suffer. amalek is the one unadulterated enemy that God Almighty wants destroyed; utterly, no remorse. what is amalek? something past, present or future? something so inimcal to the heart of God, that God's justice deems it must be obliterated. Amalek is the unadulterated enemy of prophetic Israel. who is suffering under the spirit of amalek? Who is prophetic Israel?

Indeed Bishop Ioan was a martyr although he did not suffer death as a result of the tortures.<br />I read, somewhere, that the 20th Century saw more martyrs than any other century. And, it has not ceased! Only today I read that two Orthodox bishops have been kidnapped by Syrian rebels. I also read that Turkey is setting up a special camp for all the Christian refugees from Syria. When I was in Istanbul last October I was told first-hand of the efforts which the Church is making within Turkey to house, feed, clothe and educate all the christian refugees from Syria. Also, news filters through about the struggles in Egypt and Pakistan, which Christians are facing right now.
