A senior adviser to Pope Francis has said he is worried about the anti-Muslim rhetoric of presumptive US Republican Party candidate Donald Trump.
In an interview with RTÉ News, Cardinal Seán O’Malley also warned against scapegoating Muslims following this week's atrocity in Nice and other terrorist attacks on the west.
Speaking in Knock, Co Mayo, the cardinal recalled that the Irish were once blamed for America's ills.
And he urged Catholics to heed the advice of Pope Francis to strengthen dialogue with Muslims.
"It’s very easy to stir up resentment and to blame groups of people.
"I think immigration is such an important issue, requires a lot of reflection. It requires people with wisdom to come together and talk about what is best for the common good."
He continued: "All of us need just immigration laws and a way of dealing with immigration that will not dehumanise people".

Although that is starting to change with more of the oil and gas starting to come from the ground in the USA. I belive that one of the western states, ND has been taking oil out of the ground in the last couple of years.
So true.
I have a friend who HATES California and has been nauseating me with how WUNNERFUL North Dakota is. She and hubby have been planning to move there for eons.
NOW they can't afford it because the "oil boom" in North Dakota has made the housing prices JUMP in Fargo. They can't afford it now!
Outside of Fargo there is little to see or do...and it's all FLAT as a pancake...
and did I mention the cold in the winter?
She came to California to escape the North Dakota winters. BRRRRRR!!!
This is another of the assholery among the College of Cardinals; who knowingly elected this radical lefty, Frankie, disgracing themselves in the process.
Most of these giggly little fatties are homosexual; signaling to the faithful everything they need to know about the catastrophic condition of the Catholic Church.
Lord have mercy.
This Cardinal confirms why I endorse Donald J. Trump and will vote for him in November.

Good grief! It is hard to believe that a learned man could say something that stupid.
Not at all. I was merely calling you on your false argument that until the reformation, only the Roman Catholic version of chrstianity existed. If you have any doubts about Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and the others being different religions than Catholicism, just ask one of their members (who isn't an ecumenical liberal).
Why don't YOU knock off telling me what to believe.
When did I tell you what to believe? Are you claiming that it isn't true that there exist to this day four separate ancient liturgical chrstian traditions?
Even the sign of the Cross is the same but for the side of its beginning.
Wow. If you think that is the extent of the differences among the ancient churches, then you really don't know much about them.
The Catholic Church allows all Orthodox to receive Holy Communion in Catholic Churches. It's only a matter of time before the reverse is true.
Though I doubt that either of us will be alive then.
Rome regards Constantinople as in schism, whereas the Orthodox traditionally regard Rome as heretical (another difference between the two belief systems). Furthermore, this is still ignoring the other two ancient churches.
Honestly, I don't know where you get your ideas.
Um . . . from reality. You should try it some time.
Sedevacantists should use photos of Francis and O’Malley to create a recruitment poster for worldwide distribution.
Is this fellow an absolute self-loathing moron or what? Buddy...moozlums want you to submit or to be dead.
Such anti-Muslim rhetoric! And there is more of the same from true popes and saints who actually professed the Holy Catholic Faith.
Well, he certainly has a long history of moronic socialist and "progressivist" rhetoric.
I knew that already.
And that does not change my statement, which is still TRUE!!!!
Nobody mentioned Arab.
You appear to be one of the biggest “catholic” apologists for the godless muslim/islamic cult whom I’ve seen. Even worse then Bergoglio.
Sean O’Malley, the Kennedy clan, Tim (the Drunkard) Dolan, Anthony Kennedy, Joe Biden, Bill Gates, Mother Jones are all Irish, and all responsible for “America’s ills.”
And don’t forget:
““My name is Barack Obama, of the Moneygall Obamas, and I’ve come home to find the apostrophe we lost somewhere along the way,” – President Barak Obama on a trip to Ireland.”
Hey, MOFO!!! They’re going to kill us anyway so what’s your point?
Thanks for you very nice reply.
Stupid Pope and his minions.
In the upper nineties of fed treasury dependency
Some of the subcontractors are Muslim store fronts in the Refugee Industry. Please tell me Trump will find out about this
