How to Understand the Beheading of a French Priest by Robert Fisk
Faced with the murder and beheading of seven of his monks by Islamists
20 years ago, the Archbishop of Algiers went one better than the
Archbishop of Rouen this week. He didn’t talk about the slaughter of an
elderly priest as the “unnameable”. He saw the road of Calvary. In fear
of his own life amid a ferocious conflict, Monseigneur Henri Teissier,
67 years old and a French professor of Arabic, responded by celebrating
mass for six nuns and monks all those years ago by reading from St
Matthews, Chapter 25, verse 13: “Watch, therefore, for ye know neither
the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.”
