CWN Editor's Note: In an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver decries the “irresponsible commentary” that has sought to place the blame for a gay-nightclub shooting on “religious bodies, including the Catholic Church, to which the shooter has no apparent connection.”
The charge that Catholic teachings inspire hatred are false, the archbishop writes. Moreover: “Labeling Catholic teaching or one’s political enemies as a root cause of violence may itself inspire violence.”
