Yet another diocesan head-scratcher. This time, it's the Diocese of Sacramento.
From the Napa Valley Register, via California Catholic Daily (click here for the full article):
Sacramento Bishop Jaime Soto apparently doesn't want to deal with the protests of the "politically-correct" left. Or perhaps he just doesn't like Spencer's work. It's hard to say, though, because the diocese has not issued an explanatory statement as to why it canceled Spencer's parish talk.
A diocesan official, while acknowledging my email inquiry about the situation, did not elaborate.
Spencer's latest book, Not Peace But a Sword: The Great Chasm Between Christianity and Islam (published by Catholic Answers), is reviewed by Father C.J. McCloskey at the website of the National Catholic Register.
Father McCloskey writes (click here for the full article):
On a related note, in my November 23, 2012 column, I reprinted the introduction to William Kilpatrick's book Christianity, Islam, and Atheism: The Struggle for the Soul of the West (published by Ignatius Press). Below is a significant portion of that introduction. Click here to order a copy of the book directly from the publisher.
