At last, a bit of sanity in an ever-increasing insane world. The Qur'an reading has been cancelled and Church canon has been upheld. This is a good thing for the Judeo-Christian world, bad for Islam.
Thank God for little favors.

Jesuit parish cancels Qur’an reading
A Jesuit parish in Charlotte has canceled plans to read the Qur’an from the pulpit on June 26, the feast of Corpus Christi.
“Just having something public is not going to be a big, big deal here, but to have someone come in and read from the Qur’an and to recognize publicly the existence of Islam and to reverence and respect is a good thing for the Church to do,” Father Patrick Earl, SJ, said on May 27. “I’ve heard from Muslim imams about what they and their congregations have suffered just from the fear, the fear of what they call Islamophobia.”
Father Earl, ask the imam to allow you to use their mosque on Easter Sunday, then ask him to explain why the latest FBI figures in hate crimes show 70% of hate crimes are perpetuated against Jews, while only 9% are against Muslims. Maybe then you will see the dichotomy you have put yourself in. Or not.
On June 7, Father Earl announced the cancellation of the event; he said that he had been unaware that 2004 Vatican instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum forbade such readings. The document states that “it is strictly to be considered an abuse to introduce into the celebration of Holy Mass elements that are contrary to the prescriptions of the liturgical books and taken from the rites of other religions.”
