Asked what Catholics in the United States can do about the situation in Sudan, the bishop answers quickly. Jesus taught his disciples that this type of evil is only sent away by prayer and fasting. Let the people tell their representatives that these people being persecuted and killed are Christian just as we are. If this kind of Islamic fundamentalism is not controlled in Sudan, it will spread across the world. The Christians of the United States should demand that something be done and that it be done fast.
Time is short and people continue to die.
Sudan has become a country of violence, a place of assassination, of torture, a country where only horror reigns. But wherever there are people, the Church should be there, too.
