Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

R.I.P. - Fr. Thomas Pandippallyil

And now, extreme violence and killing in India. Fr. Thomas is a martyr...

Hindu extremists kill priest for being Christian and helping the poor

Please pray for his family, confreres and friends. Also pray for those who committed this horrible torture and killing, that even if they never find a desire to become Christian, that they will give up murder as a way of making themselves heard and scoring points for their gods...

Requiescat in Pacem, Fr. Thomas. Go quickly to God and rest in God's peace...

(As an aside, these are the people who would cry the loudest if the West were to make faiths other than Christianity, or promoting their faiths other than Christianity, illegal. But they find it just fine to do it in their countries. I always find that double standard interesting...)
