CWN - Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, the Prefect of the Congregation for Eastern Churches, lamented the indifference of the international community to the fate of the Middle East’s Christians.
Stating that the area’s Christians “deserve our solidarity, our gratitude, and every possible support,” Cardinal Sandri noted that the Islamic State is “supported with arms and other resources from various interested factions.”
The prelate also compared the international community’s “indifference and inaction” to Pontius Pilate’s washing of his hands during Christ’s Passion.
