SW News: As the Christians in the Middle East are slowly returning to their homes, the Vatican secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin has urged the UN representatives to help rebuild the middle east that was severely damaged by the Islamic state. Cardinal Parolin was speaking at the UN general assembly in New York in a panel discussion hosted by Hungary. Saying that this was a sign of Christian victory and triumph over evil, he drew parallel to the Holy family’s plight when Joseph, Mary and Jesus had to flee Bethlehem and escape to Egypt fearing King Herod’s wrath. Cardinal Parolin thanked the Hungarian government, Aid to the Church in Need, the Knights of Columbus, and Caritas International, for their humanitarian efforts.
