Even the Mohammedans are lending a hand

Bravo to this imam! In Magister's latest, he quotes imam Khalil Merroun as saying: “The Catholic Church should not feel Europe belongs to it. The advice I give my Catholic colleagues is to ask themselves why their faithful don’t live their spirituality.”

And, gee, all along, I thought the whole ecumenism business was bunk because when one side has the truth and the other doesn't, dialogue is only a deception. But it's pretty clear now that we have a whole lot to "learn" from the Mohammedans; they at least respect the natural law in as much as they have children and maintain the discipline of prayer. And they're doing so well with it all that they can now afford to give advice to, in this case, the bishops of France. Which advice, if they were to listen to it, would be an improvement over the recent advice they had, say, during the 1970s when those bishops were more or less in league with the devil.

Of course, if it weren't for this imam's ecumenism sensitivity training, he would have offered this suggestion besides: the bishops of France might try believing and living the Faith themselves before they seek to convert their people.
