the church in the monastery of st. mark in jerusalem, palestine. the structure, completed in ad 73, was supposedly built on the ancient site of the house of the mother of mark the evangelist, and one of the possible sites of the last supper. it's remained the center of jerusalem's syriac and assyrian orthodox communities and retained multiple renovations since.

Let me make something quite clear.
Conservative American Christians (at least evangelical hardcore Republican types) do NOT care about the plight of persecuted Christians in the Middle East.
Nor do they know or understand them (Iβm no expert myself but Iβve read up a bit and know a great deal more about them than those ghastly fuckers! Thatβs for DAMN sure!)
This is equally true for their idiotic fascist counterparts in Europe!
Iβd even go further and say that they DESPISE the indigenous Christians in the Middle East as well.
Perhaps viewing them as usurpers or pretenders.
The Christians in the Middle East who I refer to arenβt rich white evangelical types.
Rather I am referring to the marginalised indigenous Christians who have lived in the region for thousands of years such as Coptic Christians in Egypt, Assyrian people, Maronites, Melkites, Armenians, and Arab Christians.
These aforementioned American conservative far right fundamentalist grifters (and their idiot counterparts in Europe) have never cared about them. They never have, they never did and they never will. If anything theyβd rather see them all die, probably.
They only use their plight as an excuse to fuel their own pathetic persecution complex.
When they know nothing of persecution and the suffering those indigenous Christians in the area have faced and continue to face to this day.
These people suffer and those aforementioned American types donβt care one bit, simply USING their suffering as an excuse to fuel their putrid, fascist agenda.
Only pretending to care.
All because they want their stupid end time Apocalypse prophecy (Rapture bullshit!) to be fulfilled. (Or just to prove their bigoted beliefs to be true.)
And canβt abide the fact that they wonβt be able to control their grandkids (who they despise) from beyond the grave.
The European far right does much of the same, only they arenβt so much motivated by stupid anthropocentric apocalypse worship like their American counterparts as they are by pure anti-Muslim bigotry for its own sake.
(For instance. You see a lot of this from the Swedish far right, who have also attacked Assyrian refugees in their country.)
The point is, they donβt give a shit and only use their suffering to justify their own putrid persecution complex.
And theyβd probably see them all wiped out just to validate their nasty feelings.
They donβt care.
They never have.
And they never will.
Feel free to reblog this.

anyway, chaldean, melkite catholics will always be more 'eastern' than any american who converts to eastern orthodoxy + that's what you don't seem to get
Ah I knew you'd come back. So how's your day going, I missed you. That said, had I known it was you, I would have known that you would absolutely ignore my point to get mad at my going home to Orthodoxy again, so I sincerely hope you get over that soon.
Ps come off anon it's unbecoming of such a stalwart defender of Catholicism.
