Persecution in Iraq

The thing about the Crisis is you really can't point to who is objectively Catholic and not Catholic.
Its just a big hunk of Grey to me.

For instance I lean Sedevacantist. So my Catholic meter is that the SSPX is Catholic (Obviously) while accepting a False Pope, and that the mainstream Novus Ordo/Liberal Novus Ordo is a Protestant Sect.

But when it comes to the Eastern Catholics, Indult groups, and Conservative Novus Ordo (By Conservative Novus Ordo I mean those with a Very Strict reading of Vatican II who often go to the Novus Ordo begrudgingly) I couldn't tell you.

Im also wondering what others think too.  

With respect to the Iraqi Christians look at the evidence. When given the choice a few took the easy way and at least said with the lips what they had to say in order to not disrupt their lives. The vast majority chose to give up everything they had literally. Today many of them are camped out under their stars. Where their next meal will come from is a mystery. Their witness speaks louder than anything I could ever say. I only hope that I will be as faithful when the day of my tribulation comes.

Christians who have fled their homes in the wake of the advance of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are dying of hunger, thirst, and disease in refugee camps, the Catholic Herald reported.

Outside the camps, “the Christians are homeless. There are no places for them — (they are) only sitting in the churches, parks, streets, in this heat of sun,” said Sahar Mansour, who taught chemistry at the University of Mosul before the Islamic State invaded the city.

“A lot of people are sick: elderly, infants and pregnant women sitting under the sun, and they cannot catch their breath,” she added. “People are dying because of the shortage of medicine, water and food.”

All this pain and agony could have been avoided if these Christians had been willing to accept the false "religion of peace." Their suffering and death is because they choose to be Catholic.
