Italian Archbishop Calling for Construction of Mosque
Church Militant ^ | 3/11/16 | Julianna Freitag

Posted on 03/14/2016 6:22:13 PM PDT by marshmallow

The archbishop of Bologna, Italy is calling for the construction of a mosque in the city.

At a conference last week organized by the local Muslim community, Abp. Matteo Maria Zuppi, recently appointed to head the archdiocese, seized the opportunity to express his sympathy towards the Muslim community by calling for a mosque to be built in Bologna.

He also asked for the accommodation of Muslim festivities in Italian schools. Quoting Cdl. Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan - a cleric with similar sympathies - Zuppi said, "I really think it's time for a mosque in Bologna. Some people think otherwise but they are wrong."

"I also wish Islamic celebrations to be welcomed in schools," he added, "as already requested by archbishop of Milan Angelo Scola."

When your own Arch Bishop won’t stick up for his religion, it doesn’t look good for religious freedom.

The Bishop should offer up his Cathedral for a Mosque. Probably few Italians go to Mass there anyway.

Maybe he should quit his job and become a Muslim.

Brings to mind the old saying, “The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.”

The Episcopalians had a priestess who did both for a while (priestess and muslim) (Ann Holmes Redding - that ended up being too much for even the Episcopalians, but maybe Pope Frannie is more tolerant).
