Murder of Catholic Nuns Shocks World

The triple murder of three elderly Italian religious sisters in Burundi has their religious family and the local community reeling. The Italian Foreign Ministry has confirmed Monday’s death of a third missionary, Sister Bernadette Boggian, who wasdecapitated, according to a senior official of the local police. Boggian's name is added to the those of Sisters Lucia Pulici and Olga Raschietti, who were killed on Sunday.

Initial reports expressed the theory that the killings were the result of an attemptedrobbery gone wrong, but it now appears that more was afoot here. Fr. Mario Pulcini, superior of the Xaverian Missionaries in Burundi, reported the death of the three and expressed his opinion on Vatican Radio that given the brutality of the attack, it seems like some sort of vendetta or something more personal.

Christianity sure seems to be an uphill battle.The fact that so many are so upset with it proves it's merit.Everyone is ho hum about other faiths,but Christianity pushes all of the buttons.Muslims,for instance,could open up a chain of restaurants or convenience stores in the US without raising an eyebrow because their faith is the path of least resistance.
