The Indian Catholic priest kidnapped by ISIS-linked terrorists in Yemen earlier this month was crucified on Good Friday, it has been claimed.

Father Thomas Uzhunnalil, 56, was taken by Islamist gunmen, reportedly linked to ISIS, who attacked an old people's home in Aden, southern Yemen, killing at least 15 people, on March 4.

The terrorists reportedly carried out the heinous murder on Good Friday, after threatening to do so earlier in the week, according to the Archbishop of Vienna

Re: Kidnapped Catholic Priest

I read this story from two different sources over the weekend in disbelief. Four nuns were among those slaughtered. There are no words to convey the outrage felt in my heart. Whenever "innocents" are used in the future to argue against action, these innocents must be remembered. These innocents were not collateral damage, they were targets.

Re: Kidnapped Catholic Priest

I've been watching this story and praying for this priest.  That he was kidnapped while serving the sick and marginalized to be held for a spectacle is abhorrent.

 

If the reports are true may he RIP.  And may those who are responsible forever rot in the worst imaginable place and suffer in the worst imaginable ways.

The Pope said in his Easter address to the masses that "we should fight ISIS with weapons of love."    

 

Wonder if he's changed his tune now.  Statements of getting anywhere with barbarians like these radical islamists are pure idiocy.   Love?  These cretins have no knowledge of that word.

He has to say that. 

 

They are the scum of the earth.  They have no idea what love is.  They are barbarians, heartless and they have no soul.

Oh I know, man of God and all that but, there comes a time when nonsensical statements do nothing but make one look and I'll be kind here....foolish.

Re: Kidnapped Catholic Priest

The Pope has to say what he says even though he may think in stronger terms about how to handle them. He is also the head of Vatican City which is also a country inside Rome. Yes, it is a sad situation and another example of Christians bring targeted by perverted religious fanatics.
