On Sunday May 20, at the 9:30 Mass at Holy Rosary parish in Toronto, the charismatic Msgr. Samuel Bianco gave a sermon on the need of nations today for the Holy Spirit. He said that research shows the spending on nuclear arms has increased to over 1.6 trillion dollars. The recent nuclear missiles by North Korea's leader that fell on Japan and his threats for the same to America, followed by more threats from the American president Donald Trump to annihilate the population of North Korea were only resolved thanks to last-minute diplomatic negotiations. The same could be said of Israeli's hawks when their military carried out massive 'deterrent' aggression in Gaza against the Palestinians. We know that Hamas terrorist organization had vowed to return Palestine to Islamic Arab control. But why kill innocent and poor Palestinians while Hamas leaders are enjoying their lives far away in Qatar ?
Msgr. Bianco said that at least two Catholic organizations have been helping Iraqi citizens in their settlement after the Americans under George W. Bush sent their military forces to regain control over Iraq. I could add the continued Russian military involvement in Syria. This is a nuclear threat that was also lately faced by America's missiles in an attempt to regain control over the Middle East. In the political game of leaders in which many lose their lives, Russia decided in the last minute to withdraw from Syria. Indeed Turkey sent its troops to North Syria in an attempt to face up to Shiite Iran whose Hizbullah has been helping the Syrian government troops advance and contain the Sunni IS fundamentalists. Hizbullah has power too in Lebanon. Trump sold weapons to Saudi Arabia's military leaders, the Sunni kingdom that has always sought to destabilize Shiite Iran. In his promises during presidential elections, he said he wanted to face up to Iran and control the Iranian nuclear energy program which he does not trust. In December 2017, he decided to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem raising objections by Arab nations in the United Nations. Israel is already a nuclear power in the region. The hawkish leaders of Israel are concerned that Iran could launch a war to wipe out Israel especially if Iran possesses means to generate nuclear weapons. With the help of the Kurds,America was able to fight ISIS in Iraq and now penetrate Iran with the CIA operations destabilizing it from within. In his meeting with the European leaders, Trump too
Again on North Korea, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping promised Trump not to sell weapons to North Korea and to make it difficult for North Korea to have a life until they come back to negotiations with a victorious America. It is part of America's globalization strategy...
With all of the above, our concern is for the millions of people who suffer and die because of leaders of the powerful nuclear countries go around threatening each other.
However, some of Donald Trump's good initiatives are his promise since day one to stop by all means the increasing Islamic terrorism. He repeated the same stand when he met with Arab leaders in Saudi Arabia and urged them to stop supporting terrorist activities then in Brussels with the European leaders where they agreed on paying their share in continuing to fight Islamic terrorism together. It was just after the savage attack and raping of girls in Manchester in May 2017(see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_KrwW1Knms). Islamic terrorism started in the infamous attack on 3000 civilians on 9/11 2001.
We need to ask God's mercy upon everyone who lost their way and chose to destroy rather than help lives, and for Christians who are still persecuted in many countries...
