Prominent Catholic High School In Detroit Now Offers Muslim Prayer Room
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/20/15 | Eric Owens

A prestigious Catholic high school in a ritzy, estate-filled suburb of Detroit now features a prayer room for Muslim students to pray.

The school is Brother Rice High School, an all-boys bastion affiliated with the Congregation of Christian Brothers in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., reports Detroit Fox station WJBK.

Brother Rice president John Birney decided to permit the use of a reflection room inside the college prep school as a Muslim prayer room at the request of Muslim students.

Birney said he granted the request because he wants the Catholic school to be inclusive.

He is a fool to allow Islam to infest a Catholic school.

I guess he figures they worship the same God. And “venerate” Mary.

I am a very sad American because of stuff like this. Idiots in this country allowing our enemies to take over. Even the churches and schools.

How messed up can you get?

And then FRoman Catholics wonder why others are so *poorly catechized*?

If these are their seminary educated spiritual leaders.......

It’s no wonder their church is in the shape it’s in.

This is beyond absurd. Catholic parents should remove their kids from this school.

I’m sure this is in response to some madras which opened up a Catholic prayer room. (/sarcasm)

This is just one more proof that we are smack dab inside a strong delusion.

first step. next the students will ask religion classes to have koran.
then the students will demand the koran to be the only religion to be studied in religion classes.
next the students will demand the removal of crosses and no more Catholic services during school hours that is mandatory attendance.
then the students will demand nuns and priests not wear their religious clothes including crosses.

Last, the school will be made to change its name to a muslim name. Submission complete!

". . .estate-filled suburb of Detroit . . ."

Without a doubt this place does whatever the upscale folks who send their kids there want done. Catholics In Name Only at best, more likely, former Catholics who built themselves a gravy train and use "Catholic" because that's what the school was when it established a reputation as a quality school.

The school president is an idiot. This tolerance on his part is not reciprocated and the muzzies see it as weakness and appeasement. Are there churches in Saudi Arabia? Indeed, are there any Christians left in the entire Middle East?

Catholic charities getting 65 million to resettle refugees could it? Nah....I’m renouncing my catholicism right now. I urge others to do the same. Find a bible church.
