Denial...they’re still in it.
Still, neither Dolan nor the Pope can bring themselves to say the word Islam or call Muslims to account for their behavior.
The Pope gave a particularly foolish homily today in which he said that “all human beings are capable of going so far as even to destroy brotherhood” (I guess that’s the new way of saying beheading?) and that it was, actually, all the fault of international commerce and the arms trade. I wasn’t aware that things like gasoline and knives were the stock in trade of international arms dealers, but in case you wonder where the jihadis got them...well, the Pope has answered that one in his usual brilliant way. And it’s the fault of “all of us,” in case you wondered if the jihadis were really responsible for their acts.
