The Muddled Catholic-Muslim 'Dialogue'

In 2013, the Faith and Reason Institute (parent institution of The Catholic Thing), along with the Westminster Institute, published a monograph that I wrote on The Prospects and Perils of Catholic-Muslim Dialogue. In it, I examined a decade and a half of efforts by the three regional bishopsâ?? conferences to engage in such dialogue. The results were not encouraging.

Undeterred, undismayed, and unaware, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has upped the ante by establishing a national Catholic-Muslim dialogue. What can we expect from this? Iâ??m sorry to predict: further confusion.
