These repugnant clerics who would not know the "scent of the people" have refused to go the "periphery" to find where their filthy first-world problems mean nothing as the Times of India reports:
Christian couple burned alive in Pakistan for allegedly desecrating the Quran
LAHORE: In a gruesome incident, a Christian couple was on Tuesday
thrashed and burned alive by a group of angry Muslims in Pakistan's Punjab
province for allegedly desecrating the Quran.
The horrific crime was reported from the villages of Kot Radha Kishan of
Kasur district, some 50 kilometres from here.
A large number of police personnel were deployed in the villages to
provide security to the minority community.
Emaneul Sarfraz, a relative of the deceased couple, said that his
cousins, Shahzad Masih, 35, and his wife Shamah, 31, had been working in the
kiln of Muhammad Yousuf Gujjar for sometime near Chak (village) 59.
"The couple along with their four children wanted to leave the kiln
as Yousuf was not paying their remuneration. He demanded Rs 5,00,000 from them,
if they wanted to quit.
"Two days ago, after an exchange of words Yousuf locked the couple
along with their children in a room," Emaneul said.
He further said that an announcement was made today from two mosques of
Chak 59 that Shahzad Masih and his wife had committed blasphemy by burning the
pages of Quran.
"A large number of Muslims led by area clerics reached the kiln and
dragged the couple out of the room after breaking into it.
They first tortured them and then threw them in the kiln.
No one from the crowd listened to the couple, who were pleading that they
were innocent as Yousuf had levelled false allegation of blasphemy against them
to settle money dispute," Emanuel said adding, "Thank God they did
not burn the couple's children".
He alleged that police from the nearby post had reached there on time but
did not intervene seeing the charged mob.
"We have taken some 50 people into custody in connection with the
killings and raids were underway to arrest more including the kiln owner,"
Jawad Qamar, police chief of Kasur district, said.
Qamar also denied the incident had taken place in police presence.
Human Liberation Commission Pakistan chairman Aslam Sahotra said he
visited the district headquarters hospital in Kasur and saw the remains of
couple.
"It was all ashes and some bones of the couple which is left to
bury," he said.

Even the very gentle and mild Cardinal Tagle is now complaining that the media (we can add the official Catholic media, sadly) is "focus[ed] on the issue of homosexuality" and Holy Communion for adulterers......
No focus on sin, or even poverty, exploitation of women, Islamic genocide against Christians (we even have to go to Prince Charles for that!)--- nothing, but being obsessed with promoting two very grave sins..... and explaining them away as a "Catholic ideal" (Alicia AMbrosio, employee of Thomas Rosica's, CSB, Salt and Light meida network).
