EU’s Secular Response to Christian Persecution Ignores Christ’s Kingship
EWTN News reports (January 24, 2026) on escalating anti-Christian violence in Europe, citing 2,211 documented hate crimes in 2024 including the murder of Ashur Sarnaya in Lyon. European Parliament member Bert-Jan Ruissen and bishops’ conference representative Alessandro Calcagno demand EU institutional responses: filling the vacant Special Envoy for Religious Freedom position and creating a European Coordinator on Anti-Christian Hatership. The article promotes increased security funding, hate crime documentation, and alignment with initiatives like #RedWeek’s symbolic lighting of buildings. This technocratic approach exemplifies the conciliar sect’s surrender to naturalist paradigms while ignoring the supernatural crisis of apostasy.
