Christian Clergy Welcomes Islam in Church, Then Bows to It
The Gatestone Institute ^ | 1/4/17 | Giulio Meotti

There is a disturbing and growing trend in Italy and Europe.

For the first time in more than 700 years, Islamic songs resonated in Florence's Cathedral, the Church Santa Maria del Fiore. Under the famous Dome of Brunelleschi, Islamic melodies accompanied Christian ones. The "interfaith initiative" was promoted a week after the barbaric massacre by Islamist terrorists in Paris at the magazine Charlie Hebdo, and included "Koran is Justice" and other such "hymns".

A priest in the south of Italy then enraged parishioners by dressing the Virgin Mary in a Muslim burqa for his church's Christmas nativity scene. The pastor of the parish of Saints Joachim and Anne in Potenza, Father Franco Corbo, said that he had the special crèche constructed "in the name of dialogue among religions". These interfaith initiatives are based on the gradual elimination of the Western-Christian heritage in favor of Islam.

How stupid can these churches be?

Do they not know that Islam requires submission?

Lunacy.

The Bible foretells that even the very elect will be fooled.

This is a great idea! Now, the mosques will reciprocate, and allow Christian hymns to be song in their place of worship.

Europe is demented... she forgets that the Muslim scourge can only be dealt with by forcing it out... and by doing so at the point of a sword if necessary.

Very true. No catachesis, no grounding, no undedstanding, no knowledge, no wisdom, no faithfulness...

The situation is very dire, but for the Eucharist.

Christian Europe might as well pass around the koolaid for all their stupidity.

Archbishop Stefano Pendinelli would strongly disapprove of this sacrilege.

Living in Berlin about half the time of year (thankfully coming to an end) I can tell you even the most beautiful churches in all of Europe only bring in about 10 people on Sunday. My girlfriend in Polish. We went to mass (I’m not Catholic) on a trip to Prague. For mass we went to, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all European cathedrals, St. Vitus. There were maybe 15 people.

These churches are happy to get any bodies in their even if it means selling their souls to their invaders.
