The foundation Aid to the Church in Need presented in Rome its report on anti-Christian persecution.<\/p>\n
They titled it \u201cMore persecuted than ever.\u201d It focuses on the 20 countries that most poorly treat Christians.<\/p>\n
North Korea and Eritrea are still the most dangerous. The situation has improved only in Iraq and Syria, although they are still dangerous places for Christians.<\/p>\n
ALESSANDRO MONTEDURO<\/strong> CARD. LEONARDO SANDRI<\/strong> The presentation of the report was celebrated in the Basilica of St. Bartholomew in Rome, dedicated to martyrs of the last decades.<\/p>\n This priest participated. He survived the attack on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka that left 253 victims last Easter Sunday. He left these items that were found in the rubble as a reminder of those who died while attending Mass.<\/p>\n It is a gesture to remember the persecution of Christians, so little known in the Western World.<\/p>\n Javier Mart\u00ednez-Brocal October 25, 2019. One out of every seven Christians lives in a country where the faith is systematically persecuted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":19845,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oOEYFlklUmw","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/binformeacseng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/binformeacsint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47493"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\n\u201cThis \u201cfocus\u201d aims to underline, value and show these areas of the world where our Christian brothers and sisters suffer.\u201d
\n\u201cChristian communities are the most persecuted, if we take into account the fact that one out of every seven Christians experiences a consistent or systematic form of persecution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nPrefect, Congregation for Eastern Churches
\n \u201cIn some parts of the world, being Christian means risking one\u2019s life. In other places, being Christian is allowed, but only if practiced privately. We have to think about what it means to be a witness in this context. It isn\u2019t something merely spiritual or moral. It\u2019s something vital.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
