Fall Meeting: Daniel Dinardo and Division Prey

fall meeting: But he said recent policies and attitudes have often been rooted in unfounded anxiety about people who look, talk and even think differently, according to The Chronicle Herald. That fear is present both within and outside the church, he said. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, Texas, affirmed the government's authority to protect national security. The forces of division prey on our fear of the unfamiliar, the different. They tempt us to see a threat in the stranger. But fear is not of God, said DiNardo, in an address to the bishops' fall meeting in Baltimore. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
