Italian Italian Priest Killed in Turkey

Well, the devil is at it again. The islamic response to criticism seems to be to kill catholic priests. This story was carried by Catholic World News

Father Andrea Santoro, an Italian missionary priest who had served in Turkey for 10 years, was shot twice at point-blank range in his church in the port town on the Black Sea. The gunman shouted, "Allah is great!" before running out of the church.

Bishop Luigi Padovese of Anatolia, who rushed to the scene on hearing of the priest's death, told the AsiaNews service that the timing of the killing-- as Muslim militants around the world protest the cartoons mocking Islam-- "does not seem incidental to me." The bishop reported that the atmosphere in Turkey, a predominantly Muslim country, "is heated, not to say overheated." Christian churches were under heavy security in the aftermath of the killing.

If ever there was a time when good and evil were so obvious it is now. I don't agree with someone who mindlessly insults someones religion. I however don't think that critism aimed at members of a religion who act poorly is offensive. And if offended the proper responce is to picket or protest, not burn embassies or kill priests. I pray that the Lord works into there hearts.
