The Arlington Catholic Herald published an extensive article on the issue of global persecution and the new documentary Under Caesar’s Sword produced by RFI and the Notre Dame Center for Culture and Ethics. 

“Tens of thousands of Christians and Catholics, facing death or forced conversions, fled their homes in Iraq when the Islamic State group took control of the region. This past Advent, 25 people were murdered and many more were injured by a suicide bomber at St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Cairo. The Muslim militant group Boko Haram in Nigeria has killed thousands. These horrific stories are well-known, but many others go untold. A recent documentary, also named “Under Caesar’s Sword,” explores this worldwide persecution.

Though these experiences are unfamiliar to most Americans, the documentary hopes viewers find solidarity with their fellow Christians.”

We can’t subcontract concern and compassion. We can’t expect our government to do what we’re not willing to do.
