Bishops' Conference boss tones down anti-refugee letter by bishop

Ljubljana, 2 November - Head of the Slovenian Bishops' Conference Andrej Glavan on Monday toned down somewhat the views on the refugee crisis expressed on the conference's website last week by Murska Sobota Bishop Peter Štumpf. He argued Štumpf's claims on the "Islamisation of Europe" had merely been a way to point to certain dangers.
