\nsuggesting that the Catholic bishops of Pakistan may petition the Pope to say
\nthat the recently murdered Shahbaz Bhatti is a martyr. More will be known
\non or after the March 25th meeting of the bishops. Bhatti was gunned down on Marc in Islamabad. <\/span>Pakistan has about 2.5 Christians. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nof Multan: “Bhatti is a man who gave his life for his crystalline faith in
\nJesus Christ. It is up to us, the bishops, to tell his story and
\nexperience to the church in Rome, to call for official recognition of his
\nmartyrdom.”<\/span><\/p>\n
\nConference of Bishops said: “The murder of Shahbaz Bhatti means that we
\nhave lost a great leader of our community who stood up for us and articulated
\nthe concerns and fears of our people. We do not have a leader now. Our people
\nare quite down. They are fearful of the future.”
