Date Posted: 07:21:39 01/06/08 Sun Persecution Heating Up South of the Border Some Christians have been jailed and even killed in Chiapas (Mexico) for sharing their faith with non-believers or for simply venturing into traditionalist Catholic towns. One directive from the town of San Antonio Las Rosas, dated February 13, 2005, states that it is not permitted to practice or preach a religion other than Catholicism. Those doing so will be expelled and their property seized without compensation for the benefit of the community. Human rights attorney and pastor, Esdras Alonso, has documented hundreds of incidents. He says most have violated religious freedom liberties guaranteed in the Mexican Constitution. "Using the argument of lifestyle and customs of the indigenous peoples, they have taken away individual rights," Alonso said. " Lifestyle and customs cannot be above the constitution." "They can take my clothes, all my property, but we are in God's hands and they cannot burn Christ and the church from our hearts," Thomas said. http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/219641.aspx [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
