Christians behaving goodly

copyrighte-mailparticipate

Today the New York Times has a story on the Roman Catholic school system in France providing sanctuary to Muslim students. You can read it here. The schools are still overtly Roman Catholic, with crucifixes in every room. But, they also allow respect the Islam of the students, and, as the article points out, they provide a spiritual atmosphere.

I congratulate the Roman Catholics of France on their attitude. Any Muslim student who has a good experience in their schools will be much more likely to disbelieve jihadist propaganda. They will also be much more likely to be tolerant of Christians if the student returns to his/her home country. They might even be more tolerant to the point of allowing more open expressions of Christianity should they end up in a position of power.

And, who knows, we have many saints who became saints as a result of the good treatment that they received at the hands of Christians. God may harvest some good saints out of those schools. May it be so.
