War Against The Catholic Church

Being a Catholic often means that we are at war. The primary most important battle is fought over our souls, but secular battles (skirmishes?) rage daily. Recently an article at "The Catholic American" had a lengthy article on Al Qaeda’s Little Reported-On War Against The Catholic Church.

While most of the world mourns the nearly three thousand who were brutally murdered by Al Qaeda on September 11, 2001, many assume all of Al Qaeda attacks stem from a warped political motive. Most may not be aware that since the day of its inception many of Al Qaeda’s targets have involved the Catholic Church and her holy sites.

The article is full of links and supporting information that pertains to the subject.

I finally finished this article... took me awhile. It is very good. I especially appreciated the link within the article to "Enough is Enough: The Crusades & the Jihad are not Equivalents". After reading "Triumph: The Power and Glory of the Catholic Church, a 2000-year History" by Crocker, I got into a debate with a non-christian regarding the Crusades... Luckily, I had just gained the knowledge necessary to debunk every single myth the person threw at me... Especially the beginnings of the so-called Crusades, and the sacking of Constantinople fiasco (4th, I think?). It is stunning how little people know about this part of Church history, and how many falsehoods they wholeheartedly believe.

If you would like to write up your commentary regarding "Enough is Enough: The Crusades & the Jihad are not Equivalents" I would be happy to review it, post it for you, and give you credit. (Or if you had a blog... hmmm)
