A posting yesterday expressed in no uncertain terms Bickerstaff’s annoyance with Catholic leadership expending time and energy to break bread (as it were) with Muslims. Wasted effort, Bickerstaff wrote, as Catholicism and Islam are so different from one another it’s impossible for the two faiths to engage in ecumenism, regardless what tiresome Catholic prelates from the ’60s and ’70s might insist.
HOWEVER (and here’s where Bickerstaff serves himself a small, but tasty dish of corvus corax): a piece in PJ Media reminded this writer that though the Catholic and Muslim religions are vastly different from one another, it does not mean there are not moral matters over which we may march in lockstep agreement.
In its unique prose, PJ Media reports thus:
While the Democrats were attacking white Christians for believing women are women and men are not, they never thought the Muslim community might have a say in all this. They do.
We are less than a week before the midterms, and the Democrats are in panic mode. They didn’t learn from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s victory last November — don’t mess with people’s kids. And they didn’t see themselves possibly losing Michigan.
And then there’s this:
No doubt there are many other topical matters where Catholics and Muslims can, and should, embrace. We’re on the same side, after all.
