Jesus I Know, And Paul I Know; But Who Are You?

Illegals aren't Criminals, Cardinal McCarrick Says! (CNS News)

Is that so? And who is McCarrick to determine that? This is a man who publicly prayed to Allah, yet claims to worship the one, true, triune God of Christianity.

Last September, in a speech at Catholic University, the good cardinal offered a prayer "in the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate."

Here is the entire speech:

"Traditional Islam: The Path to Peace"
Remarks by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick to King Abdullah II of Jordan
Archbishop of Washington and CUA Chancellor

Your Majesty,

A few months ago, when I was privileged to pray for you on another occasion in this capital city, I asked Allah, the compassionate and merciful Lord of all the world, to bless you and to help you make your country a bridge across which all nations might walk in unity, fellowship and love. As I listened to your words today, I believe my prayer is being answered.

Indeed, the Amman Message of November of last year is a blueprint and a challenge not only to the great world of Islam, but to the whole human race. Your thoughtful leadership is a stirring invitation to all of us, especially to the people of the Book, the family of Abraham, who share so much and who are called to be brothers and sisters in God's one human family.

Your Majesty's call and that of the Holy Father are in so many ways the same. May Allah, the merciful and compassionate, continue to guide your steps along this noble path. May He guide and protect you, your family and your beloved country and may peace and justice come to all lands and all peoples through your efforts, your vision and your courage.

In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate God, we pray. Amen.

And that my friends tells me all I need to know about Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and his integrity. You cannot have Allah as your god, Cardinal, and still claim to worship the Christ. They are not the same.
