Catholic priests are getting educated about Islam, _in order to be able to distinguish between rumors and realities’. In my neighborhood, the church is empty and the mosque is packed; that’s a reality that compels me to learn about Islam. Candidness is not at odds with caution, and this priest making this statement asked to remain anonymous. Contacts between the catholic world and Islam might be frequent, they are still heavily biased by fear, clich_s, and lack of mutual knowledge.
