Dear Friends:
I recently joined local civic and religious leaders in signing a “Letter Condemning Hate Crime in Newton.” Allow me to add that we Catholics are opposed to hatred against a person of any religion, whether that person be Jewish, Muslim or any other religion. To quote Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York:
“Every human life is of equally incalculable worth. Hating your neighbors is a grave sin against God, who created us all in his image and likeness. Violence only begets more violence, not justice. May those whose hearts have been gripped by hatred repent, and may people of goodwill stand courageously for peace.”
Love and God bless you and all!
Fr. Dan
