What a Mosque at Ground Zero Really Proclaims
Pax Christi USA, the national Catholic peace movement, joins the citizens of New York City and local and national organizations in support of the Cordoba Center, an Islamic community center proposed for lower Manhattan, near the Ground Zero site. As the national Catholic peace movement, Pax Christi USA believes in the freedom of religion and in countering systematic and perpetual deep spiritual and social brokenness.Catholic Social Teaching tells us that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. However, attacks on Muslims—and on darkskinned people mistaken for Muslims—started almost immediately after the events of 9/11. This behavior is contrary to our Christian values.
