Qaraqosh falls: A greater punishment is ready for the more mighty.
We
shudder to think of the consequences of this dereliction of duty: let
us not kid ourselves, our divine punishment for this will come: "a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty." Syrian and Iraqi Christians are us. They are us. By leaving them behind, we are digging our own graves.
As Maronite Catholic Amine Gemayel, former president of Lebanon, said decades ago in prophetic words: "If
we don't stop them here, they will one day expel the Christians from
all the Middle East. One day, they will be at your gates, in Europe."

I am really shocked at the deafening silence by Christian organisations all over the world. This is so wrong.

August 7, 2014, is a day that will forever live in shame.
Qaraqosh
(Bakhdida), the Christian capital of Northern Iraq and of the vast
surrounding regions, the largest Christian city in all the country, has fallen.
In the night of August 6 to August 7, the Kurdish fighters (the
Peshmerga) and Assyrian allies defending it decided they could not
assure the safety of its inhabitants, and it became an open city. Tens
of thousands of Christians who have lived in the Nineveh Plains since
time immemorial are rushing towards Erbil, the capital of the Kurdish
region.
Mosul
fell almost 60 days ago -- and it is a fact well known in Washington
that the current United States administration knew and had the chance to
stop the advance of the Islamic terrorist army long before they
reached this city of 700,000 people, but chose not to.

BREAKING:
CHALDEAN PATRIARCHATE'S APPEAL FOR URGENT HELP S.O.S.
Updated throughout the day
http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2014/08/chaldean-patriarchates-appeal-for.html
[Update: 11:30 a.m. GMT:] As a response to the catastrophe, the Holy See Press Office made a declaration on
how the Pope is extremely concerned with Iraqi Christians, rehashing
what was said at the Angelus of almost three weeks ago after Mosul
Christians were expelled.
We regret to say, but a Holy See spokesman declaration is not enough at this extremely urgent moment! The Christian,
Catholic, 2000-year-old presence in Iraq is being wiped out as we
speak. Since all the media seems to agree that Pope Francis is the most
popular figure in the world today, then only he can make the dramatic
gestures that the moment demands. It's a time for public weeping, and
crying out loud in the middle of Saint Peter's Square for all the world
to see, if necessary. It's time to denounce by name the powerful of this
world who have abandoned the Christians of Iraq and Syria. It's time to
show that we are desperate because they, our brothers and sisters, are
desperate. What's the point of popularity if it is not put to urgent use
in moments of emergency?
