If we want to see on this a Earth a true shepherd and not a hireling - unlike the main man in Rome and his gang - then we could hardly do better than look towards Bishop Giovanni Martinelli, the bishop of Tripoli, who refuses to leave the city so long as there is a single Christian there.

Meanwhile, over in Rome and much of the West, bishops can't even get themselves to defend the very words of Christ on marriage and holiness, always looking to sell out just when one thought they had run out of ways in which to sell out, all the while accusing those who are not selling out of being dissenters. Being accused of dissenting against Pope Francis is quickly becoming one of the greatest compliments one can receive regarding orthodoxy and discipleship.

It is interesting to note that Pope Francis couldn't even manage to pay homage to the martyrs without dabbling in modernism and ecumenical double-speak.
