Suspicious post. Someone living under a regime as described here would not be introducing numerous threads on an American forum, writing in standard English. It’d be much too risky.
👁 👃🏼 a 🐀. 

Certainly could be fake. I wondered about it. But his/her posts don't seem to be baiting or agenda driven. I've read them all. They are short, sweet, and quite proper. 

I was trying to think of countries where Christians are actually beheaded. Leviathan, er, I mean google, names some countries in Africa, and names "extremist groups" as the perps. We tend to think of the middle east when we think of muslims, but it has spread to India and Africa and the Far East like wildfire. It is likely that an African or an Indian would speak English. Thus I give him/her the benefit of the doubt, and will certainly be praying.

I once had a young man message me from a country with a mainly Muslim and Hindu population. He asked me to help him get in touch with his local Church, as the gates always seemed shut and things appeared to be handled rather discreetly because of the persecution taking place in the country.
So I emailed his parish priest at his official email address, explaining that the young man had come to faith in Christ and wanted to join the Church. There was no reply for weeks. Then I contacted the bishop of the diocese, explaining the difficult situation and my attempts to reach the local priest. Again, there was no response, not by email in either English or the native language, nor by telephone, despite several attempts.

I do not know whether this was due to a communication error or whether the young man had overstated how difficult the local situation was. But I felt very disappointed with the Church in this particular area. This should never happen.

Yes, I live in a hostile nation, but I speak English and have internet access. I came here to ask like-minded Catholics at a forum that I came across. The forum is amazing and is meant to provide a safe space for Catholics, especially those who live in difficult circuмstances. I appreciate all of your responses.

The Novus Ordo religion is against converting people. Why would they need to? Ecuмenism tells them they are fine as they are.
