Catholics must "condemn unequivocally" anti-Muslim prejudice in the United States, including in our own church communities, San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy told a national meeting of Muslims and Catholics Wednesday, March 8.
McElroy, co-chair of the West Coast Catholic-Muslim Dialogue of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, was part of a two-day national meeting of three regional dialogue groups at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago March 8-9. Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich is chair of the national dialogue.
In his public remarks, McElroy decried the "intolerable exclusion and marginalization, which both the followers of Islam and Christians are facing in our tormented world."
"It is unconscionable that in the United States, in the 21st century, one of the great world religions is caricatured, misrepresented and despised so widely in our culture," he said about followers of Islam. "It is even more appalling that Muslims have now become the object of government actions, carefully and deliberately designed in laws to target a specific religious community."
Noting that Catholics had been the victims of "extreme vetting" earlier in U.S. history and that Christians face persecution in the Middle East today, McElroy also urged all Muslims "to be vocal and unified in their condemnation of Christian violence in predominantly Muslim societies."
Although the U.S. faces a threat from extremists who have distorted Islam, McElroy said, "By linking the Muslim community to that threat in a discriminatory manner, we undermine our national security and dishonor our national heritage."
The two-day meeting included private meetings of 33 representatives from the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and West Coast Muslim-Catholic Dialogues, as well as the public event where McElroy and Sherman Jackson of the University of Southern California spoke. The event was livestreamed on Facebook and attracted viewers from Singapore, the Philippines, Mexico and South America.

McElroy is really trying to get a red hat from Francis.
This guy has his eye on being named the Archbishop of Los Angeles and being made a Cardinal by the like minded Pope Francis. He should meet with the families of the San Bernardino victims or the families of the victims of the barbaric jihadists and the over three thousand documented Muslim suicide bombers. At the core of political correctness is delusion.
Tolerating the intolerant doing the intolerable.
I am Catholic but I will continue to look at muslims as the enemy. They have no place in the western world. They are incompatible with Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. They are inbred, backward, ignorant, dirty heathens who should not be among us.
I walked away from this corrupt church when I lived in California in the 1980’s because of this left-wing bull crap.
If this left-wing “bishop” Robert McElroy ever gets beheaded by a muzzie, the needle on my give-a-crap meter will not budge.
Concur, doing what they do for 1400 years, they have a track record.
We have already had 2 wars with them.
“I have not written you because you lack knowledge of the truth, but because you have it, and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.” I John 2:21,22
“If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a divine curse.” I Cor 16:22
The Catholic Church is a wonderful, heroic institution that has repeatedly saved the West and humanity from the horrors of that totalitarian monstrosity, Islam. This ridiculous excuse for an “archbishop” is repudiating the Church’s noble history.
Maybe when muslims start policing the radical acts of their adherents, their countries wont be stigmatized as supporting terrorism
and their countries wont be hellholes driving people to emigrate to countries that observe Judeao-Christian values
Please try telling that to a Middle Eastern Christian.
I’m sure muslims are being told this crap in their mosques about Christians too SARC
um...
sorry “bishop”
but it is not ungodly to stand up to Satan and his minions in the world domination satanic death cult known as Islam.
McElroy summed up in three abbreviated words: POS.
Watch how both Mass attendance and contributions drop drastically in the San Diego Diocese.
Quoting the late great Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:
“WHO IS GOING TO SAVE OUR CHURCH? NOT OUR BISHOPS, NOT OUR PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS. IT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE. YOU HAVE THE MINDS, THE EYES, THE EARS TO SAVE THE CHURCH. YOUR MISSION IS TO SEE THAT YOUR PRIESTS ACT LIKE PRIESTS, YOUR BISHOPS, LIKE BISHOPS, AND YOUR RELIGIOUS ACT LIKE RELIGIOUS
Some very large fraction wants to kill me.
Hey bish, it’s not a religion. It’s a violent death cult. If you would discriminate against nazis, you should discriminate here too.
Nope. no can do. Islam is purely political and pure Evil. It is not a religion.
Can't.. no espeakee de English.
Try all day and twice on Sunday but they don't speak English.
Why would anyone ever, harbor prejudice towards muslims?
