Pope Francis: Nuns killed in Yemen are modern-day martyrs - Independent Catholic News: The four Missionary of Charity sisters killed together with 12 staff at a care home in Yemen on Friday are modern-day martyrs, Pope Francis said at the end of the Angelus with pilgrims in St Peter's Square on Sunday. The Holy Father said the nuns 'gave their blood for the Church'' and that they were not only victims of the attackers but also of 'this indifference of globalization.' Pope Francis also praised an ecumenical project to fly refugees to Europe as 'a concrete sign of commitment for peace and life.'
