CWN - As 15,000 people gathered at the Portuguese shrine of Ronda da Lapinha to pray for persecuted Christians, the president of Pakistan’s episcopal conference said that the Church there refuses to be silenced.
“I can say with pride that we are not a silent or hidden minority; we contribute to the good of the country,” said Archbishop Joseph Coutts of Karachi, according to a Portuguese media report.
Nonetheless, “we do not know when the next attack against a church [will take place], or when and where the next Christian will be falsely accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death,” he added.
