Senior Cardinal Warns About Anti-Muslim Rhetoric
RTE News ^ | 6/17/16

Posted on 07/17/2016 10:09:00 AM PDT by marshmallow

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".

No worry of anti-Christian talk and behavior?

What, is he trying to say that waves of Irish migrants was a good thing for America?

DIALOG WITH MUSLIMS:

POPE: “Blah. Blah. Blah.”

MUSLIMS: “BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!”

I’m concerned about the rhetoric that Islam is a religion of peace coming from Christian leaders who choose to ignore the realities.

Whatta (bleeping) joke.

The “leadership” of us in the “West” is nothing but a buncha shills for the Islamic ENEMY these days. Either bought and paid for, or MORE LIKELY enemies in their own right. Too many to name right here in the administration of the U, S, of A.

Lock and load, boys and girls. It’s up to us now. November is likely to be too late.

Speaking as a devout Catholic, I can say, the Cardinal has lost his mind.

“Speaking as a devout Catholic, I can say, the Cardinal has lost his mind.”

Speaking as a devout Irishman, he can go fook himself.

I believe in the last 15 years that the Muslims killed way more Americans than the Irish. Last I checked the Irish haven't declared a Jihad on American's either.

You fools have gutted and ruined the Roman Catholic Church by created a new religion based on secular humanism. Now shut up about America’s politics!

Well, Irish emigration was certainly good for me, else I wouldn’t be there. Or was that just a rhetorical question?
