The Catholic and Church of Ireland Archbishops of Armagh jointly condemn the placement of a replica mosque atop a bonfire, calling it grossly offensive. Drawing from the Good Samaritan, they urge respect, care, and love for neighbours of different faiths. The act contradicts the Gospel call and the democratic principle of religious freedom. They remind that every person bears God's image, deserving dignity. This joint statement challenges all to examine how words and actions contribute to peace or violence.
