Canadian bishops publish resource on Catholic-Muslim relations
July 17, 2015
A commission of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has published “Catholics and Muslims in Canada: Believers and Citizens in Society.”
Its release is intended to coincide with the conclusion of Ramadan.
“Christianity and Islam are the two most populous religious groups in the world,” said Archbishop Paul-André Durocher, president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. “For our own good and for the good of all humanity, we must learn to live in harmony with each other, and Canada can certainly play an important role in modeling this harmonious relationship.”

The information in the Canadian bishops publication,"A Church in Dialogue, Catholics and Muslims in Canada: Believers and Citizens in Society" is most interesting and helpful to Canadian lay Catholics. It is too bad that the USCCB doesn't have a similar publication for the laity.
