How long? Well, sir, considering that you deny the existence of the motivating ideology behind such attacks and oversee the shunning in Catholic circles of those who identify it, I’d say indefinitely, insofar as you’re actively hindering proper analysis of this threat.

Besides all that is below, Pope Francis has claimed fancifully that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” It has become a superdogma in the Catholic Church: if you don’t believe that Islam is a Religion of Peace, you will be ruthlessly harassed and silenced by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the hierarchy elsewhere as well. The bishops of the Catholic Church are much more concerned that you believe that Islam is a religion of peace than that you believe in, say, the Nicene Creed.

“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14)
