Just over a year ago, I wrote about the British government’s approach to the challenge posed by the existence of ISIS. Since then, very little has changed. ISIS is still in business. Oh, one thing has changed: since then ISIS has carried a series of terrorist atrocities on European soil, including the murder of a priest saying Mass. So, it is not quite accurate to say nothing has changed, for things have got a great deal worse.
Certain courses of action, such as military action, can only be carried out by governments. And governments like ours are slow to act. So, as we wait for decisive action against ISIS, what is there that ordinary people can do? What actions are possible on the level of the private citizen and the Catholic in the pew?
