SW News: We will never allow our faith to be taken away by any evil. That is the defiant message of one Nigerian bishop after a Christmas Eve attack upon a Christian village by the Islamist group, Boko Haram, left at least 11 dead, a priest abducted, and two church buildings razed to the ground. In an interview with Catholic charity, Aid to the Church in Need, Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme of Maiduguri stated, “One thing that Boko Haram will never take from us is our faith”. In fact, he said the Catholic faith of the people was becoming, “stronger and stronger” with approximately 100 people baptized in one of his parishes on Christmas Eve. According to reports by the Nigerian Human Rights Organization, Intersociety, about 12,000 Christians have been killed in the West African country since 2015. Despite that, Bishop Dashe Doeme believes that devotion to the Holy Rosary will eventually defeat the Islamists, adding that “God will crush Boko Haram in his own time.”
