(Vatican Radio) In Egypt, protesters stormed the Cairo headquarters of President Mohammed
Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group Monday morning, a day after the largest protests
the nation has seen since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak two years ago. Demonstrators
are calling on the President to step down, and for new elections to be held. Many
Christians have joined the protests, saying discrimination and violence against minority
faiths have increased since Morsi took office. “Most of the Christians do not want
the president,” said , Father Rafic Greiche, the spokesman for the Greek Melkite Catholic
Church in Egypt “We have to be clear about this.” “Most of the Christians have
felt during this year that nothing of his promises toward the Christians has been
implemented,” Father Greiche told Vatican Radio. “ And it is very important to know
that this year nearly every day we have a sectarian problem: Burning churches, deporting
people, and this big attack on the Copt Orthodox cathedral that happened two months
ago.” Listen to the full interview by Charles Collins with Fr. Rafic Greiche:
