I can't help wondering if this case will impact on the next edition of HH the Emir's "Inter-Faith Dialogue" conference. Are the Christian bishops and cardinals going to refuse to attend because Qatar promotes dialogue but gives the seal of approval to kidnapping to prevent the risk of a (perceived) Qatari becoming Christian?

Why do I think that their Graces and Reverences will shrug it off, not say a word, and then go forth into the world praising the spirit of tolerance and mutual understanding that comes from a meeting of men of peace?
