32 churches burned in one day, and the U.S. Catholic bishops forbid discussion of why this is happening, and the extent to which it is happening, for fear of harming their self-defeating and chimerical “dialogue” with Muslim leaders.

Nigeria: Muslim murders 5 with jihad suicide bombing in church
The “interfaith dialogue” that the U.S. Catholic bishops, as well as Protestant groups, are pursuing so assiduously with Muslim leaders, has proven itself to be absolutely ineffective in stopping these attacks — and the bishops are criminally abandoning the victims of such attacks to their fate by silencing all discussion of why these kinds of […]
