Os idiotas úteis face ao terrorismo

Seria conveniente que alguns devotos crentes que, nos últimos tempos, parecem manifestar uma estranha compreensão pelo terrorismo islâmico (por vezes arriscando aproximar-se pornograficamente do entusiasmo) prestassem mais atenção a Bento XVI.

Benedict presided over another Mass dedicated to priests during which he recalled the sacrifice of a cleric slain in Turkey.

Benedict read a letter written by Rev. Andrea Santoro in which the Italian prelate spoke of his willingness to offer his own body for the sake of preaching Catholicism in largely Muslim Turkey.

Santoro, 60, was shot and killed Feb. 5 while he prayed in his parish in the Black Sea city of Trabzon. Witnesses said the killer, a 16-year-old boy, screamed "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great," before firing two bullets into Santoro's back.
