“God of Abraham, God of Muhammad, God of Jesus Christ”: The Theology of Vatican II in Action on the Ruins of a Catholic Mission
VaticanNews portal reports on the condemnation by Archbishop Inácio Saúre of Mozambique of an attack on the Catholic mission of Saint Louis Marie de Montfort in Cabo Delgado province. The attack destroyed the parish church, missionaries’ residences, and a community school. The Archbishop expressed “deep sorrow” and called for peaceful coexistence between religious communities, stating that “the God of Abraham, the God of Muhammad, and the God of Jesus Christ is not a God of hatred and violence, but a God of love.” Young Catholics from the Archdiocese of Nampula also expressed concern, calling for prayer and a return to God. The Catholic Church in Mozambique reiterated its commitment to peace, interreligious dialogue, and the protection of human dignity. The entire statement, from beginning to end, is a textbook demonstration of the post-conciliar apostasy in action: a Catholic mission lies in ashes, and the response of the local “architect of dialogue” is to equate the God of the Catholic Faith with the god of Islam, thereby gutting the very reason for the mission’s existence.
