Vox Popoli: "Christianity under siege"

Yes, Christianity doesn’t need protection , but Christendom, the Christian believers do. They need protection both from the secular Left and from the Islamic Jihadists. So far only Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have publically pledged to protect Christians. Ted Cruz would protect Christians and indeed he has the support of Evangelical Christians since he is one of them.  But once again Trump has beaten all of his opponents to the rhetorical punch and has said something that no one else in America politics has publically said before. Something that really needed to be said.
 
 

 

Donald Trump, of all people, is speaking out in defense of Christians around the world, when far too many Churchian leaders prefer to preach about tolerance and parodies of marriage:
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump touted his faith at Liberty University on Monday, telling the conservative college that Christians have to ban together because their religion "is under siege."

"We're going to protect Christianity," he said. "If you look at what's going on throughout the world...Christianity is under siege."

Trump pointed to targeting of Christians by terrorist groups in Syria and urged Christians to work together to use their "power" within the United States to enact change.

He added that "I'm a Protestant. I'm very proud of it, Presbyterian to be exact. ...[but] bad things are happening, very bad things are happening."
To be precise, Christianity needs no more protection than reality does. It simply is. But Christendom does.
