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".

Ok %%s hat cardinal. One is a socio-political ideology which parades around as a religion. Last I checked the Irish are part of a race. At least try some better analogies next time.
Is that a sly reference to Ted Kennedy’s cherished Immigration Act of 1965?
“scapegoating Muslims”
Scapegoat..... a person who is unfairly blamed for something that others have done.
Terrorists attacks are DONE by Muslims.
“I think immigration is such an important issue”
Yes it is....the money that the Catholic church gets for resettling immigrants in our country is VERY important to them. They are selling out our citizens in the name of religion!

Time to tax the Church as a political organization. They want more illegals and muzzies in this country then they can pay for it.
Documentation that every member of congress and past administrations are on the Saudi payrolls.
Most Catholic dioceses are in a conspiracy to violate US immigration law and probably voting law as well. Loss of tax exemption she be a few notches down on their list of concerns.
Go to h*ll, Cardinal Bird-brain.
It sounds like he thinks Americans should just cower in the corner in fear and not make the Muzzies mad. Sorry preacher, that’s not who we are.
I don’t know who’s doing more to snuff out Christianity and usher in the world-wide caliphate - obama or the Vatican.
As am I. I think the good Cardinal should be much more concerned with the history and tactics of muslims who slaughter with impunity all the while citing texts from their holy book.
Does he mean me saying “get em outta here”?
Those boy-bangers probably need to stop flapping their gums.
You may be right about this man, but you are wrong about letting the nazis kill millions.
Would someone please tell the senior Cardinal he should spend his time cleaning up the Mess within the Catholic church before instigating the Church in Politics.
there is tons of work to be done.
STFU, you worthless piece of catholic scum.
