Eric Sammons looks at Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco’s doubling down and the persecution-law context of Algeria, the CEI/PISAI Islam fact sheets, Cardinal Robert Sarah’s warning (“Wake up. Islam is a danger.”), and Abdul El-Sayed’s comparison of sharia to Catholic canon law. Eric also tells his own story: how the USCCB’s interreligious office reviewed a Catholic high school textbook and warned that its treatment of Islam “smacks of proselytism, which would really offend the Muslims.” Finally, what the Church actually teaches in Nostra Aetate, the Catechism, and Dominus Iesus: esteem for Muslims and the duty to proclaim “the necessity of conversion to Jesus Christ” are not opposites.
