"Despite our limited resources we know we must give concrete help because there are human lives in danger. You might think these refugees are Christians. But they are not, the refugees from Darfur are all Muslims. And this is an opportunity to show once again that the Catholic Church does not take a position against a religion or an ethnic group. We help because human lives are in danger. When someone suffers we see this as a call from Christ to help them. It is our duty as Christians to save our Muslim brothers and sisters."
