Pope Tawadros II canceled his weekly sermon, scheduled for today (August 14), for the seventh time in a row, since the adoption of the “Road Map”. A Church source clarified that this is due to the tensions the country is witnessing and demonstrations organized by supporters of former President Muhammad Morsi, as well as the targeting of churches and Christians. He stated that there is a “direct threat to the life of the Pope, as it has already put on the lists of assassinations” (‘Imād Khalīl and Basmah al-Mahdī, al-Masry al-Yawm, Aug. 14). Read original text in Arabic.
