“Catholic priest kidnapped in Enugu during adoration prayers,” Vanguard, November 21, 2022:
NSUKKA—The Parish Priest of St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Eburummiri, Ibagwa-Aka, Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State, Rev. Fr. Victor Ishiwu, was in the early hours of Saturday, allegedly kidnapped while officiating adoration prayers.
Vanguard gathered that the kidnappers stormed the adoration ground after midnight and started shooting sporadically into the air.
It was further learnt that the worshippers, including Fr. Ishiwu, scampered for safety and dispersed to different locations.
However, according to an eyewitness account, the kidnappers, who allegedly spoke pidgin English and Fulani languages trailed the cleric to the Parish House and threatened to burn church facilities if he refused to come out.
It was further learnt that when the cleric refused to heed to their warning, the kidnappers allegedly forced themselves into the Parish House through the church chapel which they cut open.
They allegedly whisked the cleric to an unknown destination when they gained access to his hiding place in the Parish House.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Enugu State Police Command, Daniel Ndukwe, said he was yet to receive a detailed report on the incident….

I wonder if the Pope is aware of this “peaceful” little incident. Yeah, islam is basically peaceful. Come on, you gutless wonder of a Pope, call islam out as the murderous, evil and violent religion that it is and always has been and always will be. Do your job and tell the truth instead of sucking up to islam.
James Lincoln says
tim,
Pope Francis has been the head of the Catholic Church since 2013.
If history is any guide, it is highly unlikely that he will ever confront islam.

I think you are right, James. I don’t understand his approach. I realise that he is a left wing character who seems to support all the woke causes. He should be fully aware of islam’s nature. He has a lot of people working for him who could go out and research islam, so it is inexcusable the way he refuses to confront the evil nature of islam. I used to think that he thought that, if he was really nice to Muslims, then they would miraculously turn into nicer people, but he should realise how stupid that approach is by now.
