"Bismallah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. I greet you 'In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful,'" the bishop said, quoting from the first line of the Holy Quran
I'm going to wait and see if he is reprimanded for this. For a bishop to greet someone in the name of Allah is heresy, not to mention pesonally offensive to Jesus - let alone me...

For a bishop to greet someone in the name of Allah is heresy Actually, 'Allah' is the Arabic word for God. There are several Eastern Catholic Churches where the Gospel is read in both English and Arabic. Using the word 'Allah' in reference to God, is not heresy.
