“Blaming ‘religion’ for terrorist bombings misunderstands the true nature of religion.” So says Springfield Bishop Thomas Paprocki, noted for once claiming that pedophile priest lawsuits are the work of Satan. Writing in his diocesan newspaper, Paprocki opines “The problem is not religion, but radical Islamist jihadism. It is highly unlikely that a ‘growing interest’ in Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity or any other major world religion would have resulted in the Boston Marathon bombings.”
