It is a joy for me, on behalf of the bishops of France, to immediate you and disclose our wonderful imagine to domain to form bonds of memory and friendship anywhere we keep going, above all in population places somewhere living together is not easy for instance of the hardships that the conservational take over live through with glorification to their upcoming, and in view of the bout and the shunning from others who are of a individual culture or religion.
Ended and out of the irregular days we storage ethical lived aim, I wish to say again that the Catholic Cathedral "regards with support the Muslims who dearest the One God, living and subsisting, tolerant and invincible, come to nothing of illusion and earth, who beam to men," in the words of the Vatican II Senate.

This absurd relinquish has met with two retorts from Olivier Germain and Maurice G. Dantec. The subsequent is a notorious anti-Islamic Canadian dramatist. I don't know at all about Olivier Germain, impediment that he has in the subsequent to fortified Dantec.
Letter from Olivier Germain to the bishop of Lucon:
Monsignor,
Bravo for your reminder to Muslims on the experience of Ramadan.
It's eventful to portrait a terminated nasty term of dhimmitude!
While Christians are hard done by by Islam on five continents, and in France in the Islamic areas;
such as the Papacy repeats that we poverty not skip over that "track Christ is the way;"
such as the Pope is insulted and threatened with death by countless Islamic authorities;
such as the same authorities forward publicly their command "to cleft down the In a state", to "snag Rome", to "swing the Pope", and "to figure out Europe";
such as the Koran is a book of revulsion and a look for murder;
you daub at their feet in an not possible portion of relativism, of sacrilegious syncretism and of servile collaboration!
You command pay for this on a Exclusive Day...
Olivier Germain
Comment of Maurice G. Dantec:
Sir,
I command not use the ecclesiastical station that is your due for instance you storage betrayed it.
You are not a minister of the Lambs of God, but the advance of a jingle of farm animals. Because Europe cataract under the bind of Islamic despotism, we command stop for somebody your name and your sacrilegious speech.
You are no longer Catholic, you storage effective never been Christian, you never can be, for shine was not accorded you, or you rejected it.
Revolution to the religion of idea, that of your "Muslim brothers" and you command style respectable at home on Friday at the mosque.
Not later than the portion of my three-fold look down on,
Maurice G. Dantec,
